I would agree with you, Cayugad, my growing up in the Sport of MLing was inline with pellets, I would never had tried a FL if I had not had the MLing experience with a inline rifle. I see that FG has grown up to FLing with a .54 RB also, as have many others that I have read about on this forum. Many on this forum will only use a MLer in rifle season, we enjoy the challenge of 1 well placed shot. So I would say that MLing is a lot of fun, like archery, but has it own little specialized knowledge to make it fun, like bullet selection, swabing and "working up a load" to just name a few.
