RE: New to muzzleloaders, need advice
If you really want traditional then the alower round ball twist which allows higher velocity with out blowing the patch would be closer and the advice on using a 54 cal is good it has a combination of caliber and velocity that no other caliber matches. Now if you are only going part way to traditional and are going to use sabots and bullets a 50 cal is best. If you find it fits you and can afford it a TC Renagade is an excellant choice but there is nothing wrong with the ones you are looking at either. Lee
