What's the Diff ?

Northern states limit to muzzleloader,shotgun, or straightwall to limit the maximum range of firearms due to population density. Arkansas is allowing it in lew of a muzzleloader. You still can hunt with bottleneck cartridges during modern gun.

I am not seeing many that exceed or equal what a good charge of Blackhorn behind a 300 grain bullet does.
There is just the reliability that is the attraction to me.

Curious how Blackhorn/300 compares to 45-70 300 gr Barnes pointed bullet @2600+ fps? That’s easily achieved & more. Don’t think need that much velocity is required for a dead hold out to 200 yd gun. Hoping to find a sweet spot between 2300 & 2500, for less recoils sake. Then again, most of us won’t be shooting that load very often.

A #1 load is a different ball game than most of the.other straight walls and I realize it is a step up in power.

Any modern design rifle will handle some heavy 45-70......just don't try them in a trap door.

Don't know if you guys noticed; looks like the official language on AGFC.com has removed the shotgun option from Alternative Weapons season. Also, wonder if they'll revisit the regs after a season or two. Be a real shame if they decided to make it a single shot rifle to more closely align with "primitive" weaponry. Most-likely why they used "alternative" instead of "primitive" in the nomenclature.

With the right powders, handloaders can get over 2400 with a 300 gr & over 2600 with a 250 gr in a Marlin lever gun. Really don’t think most of us need it for a 200 yd rifle, but it’s there if you want to put up with the recoil.
