I like the looks of the single shots better for strictly hunting, but I would like one I could take to the range and have some fun with and use as a backup as well. The law prohibits possession of a firearm while hunting during bow season. A blackpowder revolver does not fit into the firearm category as the law is written currently. I am trying to get the law changed, but since Katrina lots of things have been put on the back burner.

The Ruger looks pretty good, what kind of charge can it handle as compared to the '58 Army?

Also, probably a stupid question, but can the same caliber bullets from a muzzleloading rifle be used in a revolver or is there not enough room in the cylinder?
