Shot at a doe with my inline muzzleloader with a cheap Konus scope and after shooting 5 shots at a target, feeling somewhat decent about the accuracy of my loadings, I was able to take a shot at a doe at 100 yds. Clean miss while fully rested and taking plenty of time to shoot. At least that is what I determined when I found no blood where she was standing or at any of the fence crossings around where the deer ran off.I also zeroed a rifle and was at sub-MOA groups there, which is much harder to shoot compared to the hammer fired trigger on my muzzleloader. The muzzleloader was more like 5-6 MOA which is just about unacceptable to me. Loading 2 pellets of .777 with a 50cal Powerbelt 295 grain bullet. I have another muzzleloader that uses fiber optic sights and at 100 yds can get down to 3 inch groups. I'd like to think that I can blame the scope on the one I took hunting but it is so hard to determine. I do know this will be the last time I use cheap glass when hunting so I don't have to worry about it.</blockquote>
