ORIGINAL: Flatland Hunter

This is easy, do exactly as I say and you will be happy...
Muzzleloader: TC Triumph weather shield/black Comp. .50
Load: 3 777 pellets and a 250 grain bonded Shockwave
Scope: Leupold VX III 3.5X10X40
Rings and base: TC/Warne Maxima
Primers: Winchester 777 209's
clean between shots with TC no. 13 and at the end of the day use the no.13 again make sure the gun is good and dry then coat the bore with TC bore butter. This combo should produce around 1 inch groups at 100 yards. This is all true because I know everything... just ask my wife!
Sounded OK to me until you got to Bore Butter...

I think in Indiana you can use smokeless... got with a Savage 10MLII.

But before you do anything check your regs... I even use my 10MLII in sluggun season, much more accurate.
I have a Knight Disc (my first inline), a TC Omega (my 2nd inline) and this past May I just bought a Savage 10ML, which of the 3, is more accurate and use can use smokeless in it if you want to, so I would vote the Savage. I have had excellent accuracy with TC Shockwaves 300g and 275g Ballistic extremenes with 44g of 5744 powder, Federal Primer in the Savage. I use the supplied sabots in both. I have not shot deer with these bullets, my usual and customary bullet for my Knight and my TC Omega is the 300g .452 Nosler Partition HG Protected Point bullets,they comein packs of 50 for $50. They are an excellent < 130 to 150 yard bullet. Best wishes on your muzzleloader selection, bullet and sabot.
