Default RE: Oregon muzzleloader requirements

ORIGINAL: silverstreak

I plan to hunt deer in Oregon this fall and being new to muzzleloader hunting have some questions. I would like to use an inline muzzleloader and Oregon laws are as follows:
Iron or peep sights only
Round or conical bullets only
Open ignition system
No 209 primers
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a muzzleloader that meets those requirements?
Thanks in advance
Welcome to the forum. I think I would have to recommend the White Ultra Mag as the best conical thrower I have ever shot. The next would be the Thompson Center Black Diamond XR. I own both rifles and they all offer three different ignition systems. The Thompson Center is a great rifle with out doubt. But for conicals, then I would choose the White Ultra Mag in .504 caliber.

So Oregon does not allow all lead projectiles, and they must be conicals or roundball. That's interesting. If they allowed lead projectiles in sabots then there is the Buffalo Bullet and the Dead Center line of bullets that out of the Black Diamond will really get the job done on any animal...
