Texas Muzzleloader Just Joined

[erikthered]

Hey there. I've been lurking in the shadows for some time now and decided to "go to the light". This forum has been a wealth of information.....looking forward to learning more. I shoot all types of rifles but keep going back to muzzleloading for hunting most of my big game. I currently shoot:

TC Encore 209x50 with Blackhorn 209
TC Omega 50 Cal with Blackhorn 209
Ruger #1 Smokeless 50 Cal Conversion by SMI

I pretty much load the hornady 250 grain 45 cal SST with the black 50 Cal MMP high pressure sabots

I'm really interested in another smokeless conversion and lean towards an APEX 45-70 conversion by Slufoot. Anyone know how to get in touch with him?

I'd also be interested in hearing from folks who have converted a remington 700 action as well.

Thanks

Erik

Now that your a member you can give him a PM. The Ruger #1 turns into a pretty sexy SML.

ETR, Welcome! ruger #1 converted to SML, nice. I think you've found a slight solace to the addiction. Why get an apex, just get a barrel done for the Encore. You will not regret it. PM Slufoot, he has done some for me and the guys around here. Again welcome. 10 ga

Thanks guys. I connected with Slufoot and he filled me in on the Encore and Apex conversion specifics

You going with the apex or the 700ml.....? With Apex you can be up and shooting pretty quick.....a custom takes time to happen...but they are lifetime guns built just what you wanted....I've been wanting to shoulder an Apex just to see how they are...FYI Gunbroker the dude in Montgomery ,ala had the best deal on a black 45/70 that I could find on the net...good luck with it and Slufoot ALWAYS will do you right.....
