Re: inline muzzleloaders turkey?
I think the reason why is because .45 sabots are a bit to big for being used on turkey

Maybe if you used the.50 there would be no turkey left to harvest... just feathers....

A roundball fired from a traditional muzzleloader and a conical bullet fired from a modern muzzleloader are two very different beasts. That said, the .50 roundball from the traditional muzzleloader is really a bit overkill for any turkey already.beau_76 wrote:but it also has a.50 like the old ml

Re: inline muzzleloaders turkey?
I think the .50 roundball was permitted for historical reasons (IRL and game), not because it makes sense. No one in their right mind is going to shoot a turkey with a .45cal sabot or .50cal round from a modern muzzle-loader, but sure, many many years ago people probably did IRL if it was they only firearm they owned (although I'd think they were loading with shot and wadding rather than a solid ball).Thoke2014 wrote:A roundball fired from a traditional muzzleloader and a conical bullet fired from a modern muzzleloader are two very different beasts.

Re: inline muzzleloaders turkey?
Round balls dont seem to bloodshot meat as much as modern bullets. Still I wouldnt want a 50cal hole in the middle of my turkey breast.

Even .50 BMG would be Ok If you hit head or neck - except your dog hopes to get these parts of the turkey.
