RE: Muzzleloader or shotgun?
The Wolf is known as one of the fastest rusting muzzleloaders.If you get that one I would suggest using Blackhorn 209 (new non-corrosive muzzy powder) in 80-90 grain charges. That will work very well out to 100+ yards. Don't expect 200 yards from that gun. If you will want to shoot farther, I would suggest getting a TC or Knight. You might even want to look at the classifieds here and see if you can get a used stainless steel model all set up for about $200 or so. I would look at 50 cal if you can as it gives you more options, but 45 works just about as well with todays powder and bullets.
