Hi. I am totally brand new to muzzleloading and even rifle shooting in general. I’ve been primarily an archery hunter for a long time.
I’m definitely going to pick up a muzzleloader though. Going back and forth between whether to get a 50 cal and shoot sabots, or a 45 and shoot bullet to bore for maximum accuracy. I know with my personality, eventually I will go very deep into muzzleloading because that’s just how I am.
I live in California, so whatever projectile I shoot will have to be lead free. I will also have to purchase most of my bullets and supplies online.
Do you think if I went the 45 caliber route, I would have trouble reliably being able to purchase bullets? As I look around the web now, I see a lot are sold out on multiple different sites.
Should I just start with a 50 and shoot sabots to get myself started? Or should I just go balls deep and straight to 45 no sabot? I’m not so concerned with muzzleloading regs for now, I will probably hunt regular rifle season with it.
Thanks for the help!
