Our Muzzleloader is based on our LRM-500 action. This action features a built in 209 primer holder on the bolt , a removable breechplug and twin rear locking lugs. The barrel features precise dimensions of bore and groove with minimal deviation in diameter from breach to muzzle. The heavy 45 caliber bullet is stabilized in a unique MMP sabot with a fast twist barrel. We offer loads in smokeless powder or black powder substitute that attain 2200 fps muzzle velocity. Combined with a 0.400 G1 BC, a 2200 fps muzzle velocity retains adequate impact velocity for lethality at 500 yards, and deflects only one MOA per 100 yards for a 10 mph wind. That’s only 5 MOA at 500 yards!

In the design and specification process, our focus was on creating a muzzle loader that was easy to load, comfortable to shoot, sub-MOA accurate to 500 yards, and low maintenance. Many of the high performance muzzle loaders on the market suffer from the same maladies, heavy recoil, and difficult and complicated loading and cleaning routines. Mike tested the system with 15 shots fired in under 10 minutes with no cleaning, swabbing, or cooling between shots. The group at 100 yards was less than 1.5 MOA!

The standard rifle scope used when you add the Long Range Package to a Gunwerks Muzzle Loader, is the G7 2.5-10X32 by Nightforce. This scope features a G7 reticle, and a hi-speed zstop elevation turret with a capped low profile windage adjustment. The system is fired on our shooting range to develop a true ballistic profile, then a custom Ballistic Turret is calibrated to match. Now you simply range the target, and dial the distance on the turret.
