Yes… due to state regs I’ll be bringing a muzzleloader at night to take care of the preds that hang up outside of my shotgun range. Anyone have experience with muzzle loaders on a coyote, NOT using a deer bullet? In specific with blackhorn 209 powder. This topic has been discussed however there isn’t much solid load info, other than suggestions to use a round ball (not an option for me).
I’ve only tried using 230grain Winchester .45CAL FMJ handgun bullets in a .50cal sabot, loaded with 90 grains of blackhorn 209. Shoots very accurate to 50 yards and I’ve had so/so results at 100 yards based on the wind, I’ve also measured 18” of drop between 100 & 200 yards when zeroed at 100. I chose this bullet for zero expansion, hoping for one hole in and one hole out. Thinking I may stay on this path and just switch to a premium bullet like a hornady or sierra.
The gun is a CVA Accura V2 with the Bergara barrel, extremely accurate with my deer load shooting Barnes bullets.
Any input is appreciated
