In this video you will see the worlds most powerful 45 caliber muzzleloader. This rifle shoots a 350 grain bullet at a whopping 3800 FPS and has over 10,000 Lbs of energy at the muzzle.
Very interesting. Before I went down the road putting my first one together, I gave serious consideration to purchasing one of Jeffs. 3000USD is out of my budget ($4200CAD). He makes awesome rifles!
I never knew he used the Brux barrels. They are match grade and quite excellent quality.
That is the barrel manufacturer I am using for all three of mine.
What blows my mind is how much pressure that barrel is holding! Rifle weighs 32 pounds so she would be a pig to carry but how far can that thing accurately shoot? The BC of that bullet would be very very high. Web page says .440 so you would still have 2800 ft pounds at 1000 yards and -184"
That is just freaking crazy!
I kinda figured you'd have heard of the man...he's singing your song :)
It is impressive but keep in mind at $4200 cad you get an ml capable of 500 yards. If you spent 4200 on a rifle it would be a 1000 yard + build....
One thing I picked up on in his video is he uses a lot of loading pressure. I may increase mine to see. Looking at my targets in the basement I am at 2/3 MOA at 300. Maybe I can shave that more....
It's hard to tell, but the plastic tube he used to load his powder is the same type/style I use for my BP and it hold about 110 grs of T7. So he's using a whack of smokeless because that tube is almost full.
Yes and notice the length of the barrel. It is really long and he is likely using a slower burning powder.
YEEEEHAWWW. That is one expensive (and fun) toy.........................Daniel
