Well, it’s that time of year again… the holidays. Most business essentially stops and there’s not much news to report.
However, rifling through some news stories on the web, I came across this story about a blind teen hunter.

I’ve heard of Black Powder being ignited by Static Electiricity… but apparently, Black Powder can even be ignited by the mear friction of pouring it from one containter to another
It was ignited, James Connell said, by the mere friction created pouring it from a paper sack….

Knight rifles has just announced the release of a new bullet called the “Ultimate Slam Series PBT” Here’s an excerpt from their press release:
If you’re shooting the best muzzleloader in the industry you really ought to shoot the best bullet, too. Knight’s new Ultimate Slam Series PBT (polymer boattail) muzzleloader bullet delivers exceptional long-range performance, devastating penetration and massive shock and damage. It is the first polymer tip, all copper bullet for a muzzleloader. A specially designed streamlined tip enhances the expansion of this 100 percent copper bullet. Upon striking game, this exceptionally accurate bullet expands into six razor-sharp copper petals for maximum tissue damage. It creates massive shock and deep, sure penetration while retaining virtually 100 percent of its original weight. The new .50 caliber bullets are available in 250 and 290 grains and in 18 and 30 packs. The new sabot design makes loading easy without sacrificing the tight gas seal that makes the Ultimate Slam Series the most accurate muzzleloader bullet on the market.
