I have to admit, I have been away from muzzleloading for 6 years, haven't even seen my collection in that long either, so My wife is buying me a Omega ZC package.

I used to shoot black powder exclusively, but this time I am trying pyrodex pellets, I have done some reading on the forum, and seems most still like the loose. so how are the pellets?
Looks like I will be using shock wave super gluide 250 grain sabots.

Now scopes, My initial thought is to shoot open sights, but maybe if I can get the right scope I will put one on. Haven't had that much good luck with muzzleloader scopes, actually all my other muzzleloaders have peep sights, and only one has a scope. So what is a quality scope that holds together?
