Squirrel rifle for plinking

Have been thinking about getting a 36 caliber muzzleloader as an alternative plinking rifle. I thought it would be a nice alternative now and in the future when .22 rounds are harder to come by. The rub is that I currently have a cz rimfire which is consistently grouping under 1/2" at 50 yards. I've become kinda spoiled in the accuracy department.

I was wondering about the experience of members on this forum with using muzzleloaders in .32 and .36 calibers for plinking? Did you find them to be good alternatives to rimfires? What kind of real world accuracy is possible with these small bore muzzleloaders? 1/2" at 50 yards? 1" at 50 yards?

Thanks.

Ammo plinking test ?/9mm 3" barrel

Dropping my reloads in diamondback 3" barrel (9mm) . Their all down below hood like they should be but some drop a tiny bit lower. My reloaded brass. Could it cause lite strikes on some of them being lil' lower? What is problem?

They all plink down in chamber.

Try them and see how they shoot. You'll know if your reloads are okay if you're happy when you go to the range.

seein as how the 9m headspaces on the front of the case i'm gonna go with some of your cases are shorter.

it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.

Either seat the boolits a touch longer or use a hair less taper crimp or both.
Go to far and they won't work, but sounds like you have room to adjust a bit.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
