It doesn't matterit's only a single shot. One shot is all you need.

I have the Encore 50 cal BP and I can't shoot it enough, love it. Purchased a 12 ga turkey barrel and 7mm Rem Mag.

If your strictly looking for a BP gun take a look at the new Triumph by TC. Looks pretty slick. http://www.tcarms.com/firearms/triumph.php
