Default RE: Yet Another Newbie Question

ORIGINAL: 5pointCal

I've narrowed down my picks for a first muzzleloader. I will either be purchasing a CVA Wolf in .50 cal or a CVA Kodiak in .45 cal. I live in SE Georgia and will be hunting mainly whitetail and wild hog. I'm looking for three main things in order of importance:
[blockquote]If you are set on one of those two and you want to shoot 200 yards I would pick the Kodiak in a 45. I have the Kodiak pro in a 45 cal. It will do what you want. I have my doubts about the wolf at that range. Just my opinion as some Wolf owners would probably take exception to my statement.

1. Good knockdown for ethical kill and minimum tracking
2. Good accuracy out to 150 - 200 yards
3. Bearable recoil to aviod flinching - I used to shoot a Savage .270 (130 gr) with a recoil pad and it was a joy to shoot. I want something comparable.

Which gun would be the the best fit and why? Thank you for the insight. I'm extremely excited about getting into muzzleloading.
