muzzleloader recoil
I am planning on getting a muzzleloaderbut I have never shot one. I plan on shooting 100 grains of powder with a 250gr sabot. I was just wondering what you would compare the recoil to. I've heard that it is like a 3" 12ga shell but I am not sure. Any input will be appreciated.

RE: muzzleloader recoil
Muzzleloader recoil is more like a push than something punching your shoulder. I wouldn't put it anywhere near a 3" 12 ga. The powder burns differently than smokeless shotgun or rifle powder.

Don't plan on shooting a certain grain of powder and size of bullet untill you get your gun. Each ML excells with an amount that of powder and bullet size for that specific gun. If you have ever reloaded you will know what I mean. 5 grains of powder one way or another could make a real difference. As for recoil, it is more like a shot gun than a high power rifle. Check out the ML forum. You can learn a lot before you will make your purchase.

If I were you, I would get the TC Pro Hunter. The only thing is, it cost over 800 dollars. But it has the easiest and most advanced system i've seen. If recoil is such a big factor, it also has a stock system that reduces 48% of felt recoil. If you're on a tighter budget, go with the TC Omega. And buddy, I believe that 100 grains of powder is not enough for a 250 grain sabot.
