Shooting or hunting with blackpowder bullets has become very popular. Shooting black powder bullets continues to get better each year. As the quest for an extended range blackpowder bullet continues, the muzzleloader bullets offered by Accurate Muzzleloading are an example of just how far black powder bullets have come. Accurate Muzzleloading also offers informative material and many muzzleloader accessories designed to improve your muzzleloading shooting experience and accuracy with your muzzle loader rifle.
Muzzleloader rifles have improved, shouldn't your muzzleloader bullet keep pace with them? If you have come to accept the 4 inch group at 100 yards for hunting with black powder then you ought to consider the sub minute of angle (MOA) groups possible with these high quality muzzleloader bullets. 

Improving accuracy.  There are things you as a black powder shooter can do to help improve the accuracy of your muzzleloader. Consistency is the name of the game. Swabbing your barrel between shots with a spit patch is an accuracy solution that works.  Working up a load, that simply means starting with a light load, say 90 grains and shooting a 3 shot group to see how good that load and the bullet you are using does and increasing your load by 5 to 10 grains between groups until you arrive at a load that shoots best in your particular rifle.  Please understand that usually, no two rifles will shoot the same with any particular load and bullet, so you can't take a load that somebody else has worked up and know for sure it will perform the same for you.  You can, however use it as a starting point and add or decrease the load until you find that load that shoots best for you.

No two guns will shoot alike!  Here is another point I need to emphasize.  Usually, no two guns will shoot the same and not every gun will shoot every bullet equally well.  That means that just because your buddy shoots a particular weight bullet in his rifle and it is a tack driver, that does not mean it will do the same for you, even if you have the same brand and caliber rifle.  That does not mean that the same bullet in a different weight won't.  Changing the bullet weight, as well as, load can make all the difference in muzzleloader accuracy.

Black Powder Cleaner #1. Have you ever experienced a problem with your breech plug sticking and being hard to take out?  Well, so have I and here is what I do about it.  First, block the breech plug by inserting a spent primer in it.  Then stand you rifle on some paper against something at a slight angle.  Pour a table spoon or two of Black Powder Cleaner #1 down the barrel and let it set about 20 minutes or so.  It should eat away that crud ring that causes the plug to stick and make it easy to unscrew. A nice thing about this cleaner is you can salvage what you pour in the barrel for use later; it doesn't quit working even when dirty.

Oh yeah, its one heck of  black powder cleaning solution too.  Just dampen a clean cotton patch with cleaner and swab the barrel with it.  For stubborn fouling, several patches may be required.  Follow up with clean dry patches until clean.  After cleaning treat you gun with the rust prevention of your choice.

Yesterday after some shooting at the range I popped my .25 ACP Encore breech plug out and as usual it had a lot of crud on it.  I normally dislike cleaning the breech plug because it usually get black all over everything it comes into contact with.  Well, this time I thought I would try something different.  I put my breech plug into a pill container bottle, which was approximately the same diameter as the plug and poured just enough Black Powder Cleaner #1 to cover it, and went about doing other things like cleaning the rest of the rifle, using the Black Powder Cleaner #1. I think I left the breech plug soaking about an hour.  I took my .25 ACP Encore breech plug out of the solution, careful to save the solution, and wiped it down with a cloth dampened with Black Powder Cleaner #1, and to my surprise the cloth did not have much fouling on it at all.  The breech plug was shining clean after wiping it off a little.

This morning I noticed the vile of cleaning fluid was not dirty, but clear, because the fouling residue had settled to the bottom.  My first thought was wow, I need a picture (click here to see picture) of this to show people.  I reckon it would be pretty easy to pour the clear part of the liquid into another container for future use, without loosing much.  How nice.

What bullet should I use?  I frequently get asked, which is the best muzzleloading bullet for me to use?  Well, it would be easiest just to recommend a muzzleloader bullet that I particularly like using.  But, that wouldn't answer the question, nor would it be ethical, now would it?  In order to make an educated guess (and that is all it would be), a few additional things need determining, like what would the bullet be use for (hunting or target shooting)?  Once that is nailed down then there is a little more to work with.  Let's say for sake of discussion, this bullet is going to be used for deer hunting.  That brings other things into the equation.  In what type of terrain will it be used?  How far (click on link to see muzzleloader ballistics chart) would the muzzleloading bullet be expected to shoot and perform its intended purpose?  Is a heavier or lighter recoil/bullet preferred?  Once this information is established, next thing is to know something about the type of weapon that will be used.  This leads us to rate-of-twist (click the link to see a chart that shows which weight and size bullets do best with different rates-of-twist).  The muzzleloading bullet will need to be matched with the rifle's specific barrel twist.  Once all this has been determined, there are probably going to be a number of equally good muzzleloading bullet sizes and weights that might work.  Of course determining which one will shoot best in your smoke pole is a whole other topic for discussion.  I will write more on that particular topic in the near future.

If you want to stay healthy so you can continue to hunt longer, it is important to make sure your body gets all the proper nutrition it needs.  I have found a product that seems to help.  Vibe!
