My .50 caliber Hawken style muzzleloader is my favorite gun. It's a traditional style caplock. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a caplock pistol to match it just like my husband's for Christmas.

Traditional style muzzleloaders are really good only to about 100 yards. Excuse me, I know I'll start a debate, but the gun you're describing isn't really what was meant when they approved the special season for "muzzleloaders." In my opinion, if it's not a traditional style muzzleloader, it's not a muzzleloader.
