Precision long range comes to ... muzzleloaders?

[SonicBurlap]

Checked some of my e-mails this morning and found this. It seems BPI (Bergara/CVA/Quake/Dead Air Armament/...) now offers the Bergara B-14 HMR in a muzzleloader variant. Maybe an option if our socialist friends ever get to complete their confiscation plans. Not quite sure why a muzzleloader would need what seems to be a bolt handle , or what to make of this.

It's an in-line 209 primer fired muzzle loader. The bolt allows access to the primer nipple, where the 209 shot shell primer is seated. In-lines have been done as break actions, falling blocks, and bolt actions. Not really new, and you can get muzzleloaders with VERY high quality barrels.

I've been seeing this stuff the past few days. Interesting!!!

Thanks for explaining, I really don't have any experience with muzzleloaders except for a percussion cap 1853 Enfield Rifled Three Band Musket from the 1850s that's a wall hanger in my office. All of my shooting was done with a variety of Uncle Sam's bolt actions, and semi-autos, rifles and assorted pistols until I started acquiring my own, none of which included muzzleloaders. Just thought it was interesting that the integrated chassis has made it into the world of black powder.

Look up the ultimate muzzleloader and not the Remington one

I was making hits with my muzzle loader on my 17" steel at 1000 the other day.
Mine really is just a brux 45cal barrel that my Smith made a breech plug set for and switch barrel with my 6.5-284 barrel. I use 45 acp cases modified for 209s.
I run a 300 grain sabotless bullet over 3000fps with smokless powder and about 2400fps with blackhorn 209, depending on state laws.
Look up smokeless muzzle-loaders lots of reading

I've still got too much interest in my bolt actions to want to divert major money into muzzle-loaders, although I might get one just in case. I was just primarily interested in seeing the integrated chassis stock used on one. I guess long range precision shooting is benefiting other fields of the sport as well.
