Black Powder Gun Digest

U.S.A.: Digest Books, 1972. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. A clean unmarked copy.Three innovations took muzzleloader hunting to the next level - a successful modern black powder substitute...the plastic saboted hunting bullet...and a user friendly and reliable in-line ignition rifle design. And ever since Hodgdon Powder Company built a new plant specifically for producing Pyrodex...Del Ramsey at Muzzleload Magnum Products first started offering sabots...and Tony Knight introduced the MK-85 rifle during the 1980s...muzzleloading has continued to evolve. The No. 209 primer ignition Knight "Long Range Hunter" rifle used to take the buck in the photo at above right...the saboted "Scorpion PT Gold" bullet from Harvester Muzzleloading...and the charges of Blackhorn 209 powder I now use for the vast majority of my hunts are as advanced as muzzleloading has ever gotten. Muzzleloading technology can only go so far. My guess is that from this point on, extreme precision will become the muzzleloader market for the next 10 to 20 years.
