My first reaction is "actually no!" It does mean you will need to be a little more careful of contaminating your cap or powder.

I would recommned that you use Dymite Nobel #1075 plus - this a #11 magnumcap thatwill give you reliable ignition.

If you have not purchased a gun yet you might get an opinion from Underclocked and Cayugad on the White Ultra Mag. I have not got mine yet so I do not qualify. I am not a real fan of the Black Diamond, although it is a good gun - I beleive it has some maintenance problems.

Another thought if you can not use scopes would you might be interested in a more traditional style gun? I hunt all year now with a ML now so I really want an inline for regular rifle season but I do switch back to a sidehammer for ML season here in Idaho. I find the operation and maintenance of a sidehammer much less complex than a inline - just me - other will differ.

Good luck in your search - where are you in Oregon?
