No one has ever shot 1,000 rounds through a muzzleloader without cleaning it cause after someone shoots it about 5 times they clean it give me a break and learn what you talking about before you comment on it!

On a side not I would go with a Shotgun You only need one but it is nice to be able to shoot 2 real quick you never know there could be a bigger one behind the first deer (where its legal to shoot 2 bucks)
