Looking for recommendations for building your ultimate CO legal muzzleloader.
My old man has enough points to draw his limited CO muzzy elk tag next year and we want spend this year putting together a musket and getting it dialed in. We are familiar with some of the older hawken style muskets, and have hunted with them a few times, but for this hunt he wants something better. We would really like to be comfortable out to atleast 200 yards. I've seen where a lot of people are running the rear peep with the globe sight up front, that appears to be a really good sight setup for being able to reach out further, but curious to get some more input from some guys who have hunted with them. I read a lot about BH 209 also, is this really the way to go for powder?
Which muzzleloader is the best? Is there one that stands out above the rest when it comes to setting it up with open sights and CO legal bullets etc?
Really curious for recommendations on which specific Muzzleloader, bullets, powder, and sights you would all go with if you were building your ultimate CO legal musket.
