i shoot both inline and traditional. I favor the traditional muzzleloaders over the inline. My favorite is my traditions kentucky classic .50 flintlock, 110 grains fffg goex and patched round ball. Took a nice 4x4 mule deer this season at 40 yards. I like to hunt for 3 to 4days with my flintlock, and if im not able to get into range, i'll usually switch out for my inline. I only took my inline a couple times due to the area i was hunting was wide open with not much cover. Inlines are still fun but they dont give you that feeling when the pan of a flintlock goes off and you see the deer drop. Best feeling in the world... Well one of the best feelings.... ..
