Default RE: Muzzleloaders Accuracy?

I been looking at the Omega and Knight in 50 cal hoping to get one that isn't to finicky and very accurate,will be using for elk and deer!
First off, check the regulations where you want to hunt. Are there ignition restructions? Some States insist on an open breech or no 209 primer ignition. Others restrict the kind of projecctile you can shoot. All of this would effect my decision on the rifle I choose.

If you want a safe, all around excellent rifle, although harder to clean then these new break opens, the T/C Black Diamond XR is a hard rifle to beat on the range. They come with three different ignition systems, are open breech, and are great shooters..

You also want to stay with the .50 caliber as elk are hard enough to bring down, and that caliber is the minimum in some places you might hunt.
