If I had to go with onlyone non custom muzzeloaderwith iron sightsI would go with the old style TC Renegade .54 caliber with double set triggers and flint ignition.

Reasons:

1. 54 caliber roundball has enough weight tocreate enough horsepower to cleanly kill any animal in north america.

2. If Ifeel the need for more enegery I can upgrade to a 430gr Maxi

3. A good flint can give 50 to 100 shots and can be shipped without hazardous materials fees.

4. If needed, Ican pick ip a rock and chip itinto a crude flint that will work.

5. With a well made flintlock, such as the old renegade, ignition is fast and reliable and cleaning is easy.

6. The old Renegade is durable and rugged.
