Hello everyone this is Mark from PA.

I used a New England Firearms muzzleloader with Pyrodex pellets and Powerbelt bullets here in PA for the first time in October and loved it, now I would like to buy another muzzleloader for the late flintlock season. There seems to be a lot of different guns out there. I thought I knew what I wanted a new "Traditions Pa Pellet Flintlock" with removeable breach plug. They claim in their ad the pellets are "Ignited from the rear for reliable consistant firing"

The store I went to had a couple of these guns but I was told by the sales clerk the pellets do not work well. I'm not sure if the advice I was given was sound or not and I'm not sure what to buy now. I'm looking for a gun that will give me consistant firing as I can get (Yes I plan on following the advice on here pertaining to keeping everything dry and following proper black powder procedures) and ease of cleaning and if possible able to use pyrodex pellets and some type of bullets.

All advice is greatly appreciated. I'm new to using blackpowder weapons and want to learn as much as I can and start off on the right foot.

Thanks
