So based on the regulations above is this what I am looking at having to hunt with?

Do any of you have any experience with Cabelas muzzleloaders? Is this a good place to start?
That is one way to stick with the traditional styles. The other is to find an inline that uses the sliding hammer style of system like a White 97 or some of the older CVA or Knight rifles. The primer is open and visible when the hammer is back which makes them legal that way. I would prefer one of those over a Cabelas traditional.
Most of them are Italian made rifles. They are OK but the inlines are a little more up to date for hunting.
