powder or pellets

RE: powder or pellets
Since you did not mention the make of the rifle, I will guess it to be an inline rifle. The choice is up to you as long as the rifle has a 209 ignition. If you shoot a lot, loose powder is the way to go. If you're one of them that want a couple more days to hunt, then pellets will do you fine. Unless your loaded with money and just want to shoot pellets ... of course.

I bought a new muzzleloader I used to use powder in my old gun. What should I use pellets or powder. Is one better then the other?

No, it is not cleaner or dirtyer I use both and it boils down to the fact that the only real meaningful differance is the price except that some deer season onlymuzzle loader hunters find it more conveniant because it takes less equipment to use pellets. Lee

If you want faster loading go with the pellets. I see no reason to however. The loose is more versatile and cheaper. That's whyI don't use pellets.

With the T/C speed loader with the bullet stuck in that starter, end you only have to pop one cap open to load loose. You don't have to look to make sure that you have put the right side down like with some pellets.
