There's sure nothing wrong with throwing a little heavier lead out there if your gun will shoot a bullet well. I'm like Cayugad, I like playing with both inlines and sidelocks, though I admit to favoring the sidelocks. My two "fun guns" are my .54 GP flintlock and .58 Zouave. I often take three or four guns to the hunting camp for a week-endhunt, and end up using them all over the course of several morning and evening hunts.
