RE: flintlock recommendation
I have a T/C Firestorm and really like. The removable breech plug is nice, it sparks decently well and shoots 245gr powerbelts really well. It doesn't have a set trigger, but I keep my shots at 50yds and in, so it's not a problem for me personally to deal with that trigger. It's supposedly designed for pellets,and a buddy of mine shoots Pyrodex pellets out of his and it's very dependable for him. I have yet to try them myself.
