There are many, many different target venues, from out black powder 25 yards pistol matches to the 2mile mega bucks for your hardware matches. We have a 300yard range here in San Diego and I shoot my "chunk guns" and slug guns out to that distance. I tried to get into the 1000yard matches at Camp P but the director said no muzzleloaders! We used to have a fellow that shot those 1000 matches and he spend thousands of dollars on barrels, stocks, bullets, actions and all the stuff that goes with it. He would burn out 3 to 4 barrels a year and bought them a dozen at a time. He made his own alloy (secret) bullets and was pushing 4000 FPS out the muzzle and at that speed the bullets would need to be solid! He was a scientist at General atomics and head scientist on the drone program so he could afford it!
