The price of shooting a muzzleloader keeps me from shooting a muzzleloader except to make sure mine is sighted in and during season. Its about $3 a shot if you buy the standard ML components from the store. I bought some mmp sabots and have been using some 350gr 458 cal hornady interlocks that I inherited. I have killed several deer with them but I am not sure I am getting optimal expansion. Not sure if I should increase my powder or buy some lighter bullets. They make a 300gr hollow point. Is anyone else doing this and if so, what are you using? I miss the days when you could get a pound of black powder for under $10 and a box of 100 round balls for $5 and shoot all day. Makes me feel old thinking about it.
