Well thanks to you guys - I have a cabinet dedicated to Muzzleloader shooting. It contains bullets of all types in .45, .50, and 54 cal, patches, wads, Black powder solvent, jags, flints, etc., etc. I have ammo cans filled with FFg, FFFg, Pyrodex RS & P, Triple 7. I also inherited about 3 - 3lb coffee cans filled with 54 cal round balls. My muzzleloaders are taking up space in my gun safe and on the wall.
Life was so much easier when all I had was a T/C Hawken 50 cal flinter. Now I have to keep a log of what rifles shoot what bullets with what charge. And, I have to decide which one I am going to use to hunt with on a given day.
Such confusion.
And to top it all off, I have to listen to my wife's complaining about the rotten egg smell eminating from the basement every time I am cleaning them after a range session. Even thoug she knows it coming when I put a pot of water on the stove to heat up for flushing the barrel.

I'm not as good as I'm gonna get - but I'm better than I used to be. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
