It represents a short-cut for those to lazy or unwilling to invest the time or recognize the limitations of the more traditional muzzleloader. It's right up there with decoys IMHO.
That is just about as ignorant a statement as I have ever read. Obviously you have no clue as to how dedicated true muzzleloaders are... In fact I would say it can harder to tune an inline... why? Because of the multitude of choices there are for projectiles and finding the one that will shoot best with a specific load. It is a major time, $'s, and effort investment. How is a PRB any harder to find a load for then a sabot round? The easiest I have found is a conical shooter...
If a person wanted to use an inline they always have the option to use it regular hunting season but they chose not to.
I do... I use it for both the firearm and ML season here in IL... and this year? Shock, horror, dismay... I will use a Savage 10 MLII.
