Our hunting season starts Oct 10, that is the beginning of the general rifle season - but I hunt all year now with a ML, a scoped inline during rifle season a TC Renegade during our ML season....
I love muzzleloading but sometimes the thought of cleanup and swabbing between shots at the range, and loading, and the mess in the kitchen after cleanup
All guns need to be cleaned eventually and cleaning T7 is pretty darn easy.. you really do not even need to do the water thing with T7 if you do not want to. Swabbing while shooting - see I find no problem with that either - got to do something while the barrel cools and running a cool moist swab down the barrel in fact helps the barrel cool... While hunting in the past -I usually do swab after that first shot because I wanted that quick (ya right!) second shot. Well now after all of these years hunting - I have finally figured out it really is not much different than rifle hunting - how often do you really need the second shot if you do the job on the first shot. And since I have started using a ML I am much more picky about that first shot placement - but that is the beauty of ML hunting you have to be more precise and a lot more choosey about the shot.
For cleanup - I end up using a plastic bucket on the floor of the shower... But then again during hunting season I just field clean the gunand then strip clean at the end of the season.
And of course the final reaso I say with T7 - I am cheap and I do shoot a lot... cost per shot is a concern for me.
And the last if ain't broke why try to fix it...
