Anyone have any experience with on of these for a muzzleloader?

Mark, those BDC reticles can work for muzzleloaders just like they do for rifles. Nikon has a ballistics program that actually works with those scopes as well. You plug in your ballistics and it will tell you exactly what distance each dot is. I wouldn't count on it being exactly 100, 200, 300, etc, but if you put in the work and test it out on the range, they can be great.

I have used it for my '06 and it is fairly accurate,

Chris

Thanks so much for the Nikon attachment. I plugged in all my info and it looks like a good place to start. It will be nice to be able to print off my results and keep it with me.
Headed to the big city today. :cry: I'm going to try and pick one up.
