there was a show the other day, american shooter? and he was going for a record 15 shots in 45 minutes @ 500 yards with a muzzleloader. i think it was whitworth shooting a 500 grain conical with 80gr 2f blackpowder. The target was 18"x18" and he got 4 shots in the black 11 in the white. That kind of shooting is awesome and fun, but when it comes to hunting, its to far.

Lighter bullets slow down faster, a pointed shape to help keep the speed and a peep designed for the long distance target. A laser range finder if they are legal and the distance is unknown. Bullets with a ballistic shape and long for the caliber if you buy a rifle special for it find out the weight of bullet the guys that consistently score best are using, then be sure any rifle you buy has the right twist. If you have any problem figuring it get the bullet weight and caliber, and e-mail me I have some software for that. Lee
