Muzzleloader recommendation needed

[peaceman]

Drew a moose tag and in need of a muzzleloader that will reach out to 200 with open sights. must be 45 cal or larger.
I looked a little at a CVA MRX or LRX. I see that Blackhorn is now $200/lb so that probably is out. what other powder are folks using.
THanks for the thoughts and comments.

Congrats. What state?

Just about any off-the-shelf muzzy will be good to 200 yards. CVAs are junk. I’d look at Woodman Arms, TC or Knight. Or find a used White.

Get a good rear peep and fine front fiber optic like the Williams Western Precision globe. 777 works fine if you don’t want to spring for B$209.

The tag is here in Alaska. The ability to go 300 yards would be a bonus. I'll take a look and see what i can find and i'll look at those Williams sites.

Sights and bullet are probably the biggest decisions.

I have a TC encore and an older knight disc. Both are accurate, and I would recommend either one.
The knight has taken more tinkering to get where I wanted it. But it can be set up for different ignition sources to be legal in different areas, so I knew going in that I would be trying quite a few different setups. The encore was pretty good right out of the box.

I shoot 777 due to the price of blackhorn and have always had good results. The only downside is it leaves a crud ring that can make the first cleaning patch a little difficult until you get the hang of it.
