But in the same breath will say they can take 200 yard shots. Go figure.

200 yard ethical pokes are a rare one. I have killed out to 140 yards. But my confidense of hitting my POI was at least 95% or more. I sight my gun in, and I just swab it out. I take my gun back the next moring and find out the cold bore performance. I have even done this a few times. Most are not willing to find out thier cold one shot bore performance.
thats the problem with the break actions that are so popular now, they never go back together the same way twice...not all muzzleloaders are inconsistent.
