Slug Guns and Muzzleloaders

[Joe Gussenhoven]

Hey Joe welcome to the forum. Feel free to jump right in and tell us about your guns ammo etc. We don't charge by the thread, and we are definetly interested in hearing and talking with folks about their experiences.

Thanks for the welcome, Don. Thank you also for starting a slug gun forum/thread. As Kidwell mentioned, a lack of interest, makes these rifles expensive to own and expensive to get to the matches, when/if you can find one. Having said that there will be a slug gun match at Mike Otterberg's Summer heat match in Glasgow MT this August. I plan to be there with my Seth Millard .56 slug gun. The only way we can create interest for this type rifle and competition is to get the word out.
