I would take my trusty old Wolf, loaded with 80 grains of 777 loose powder, and a 295 grain HP. Why? It is short, and easy to cary in the thick stuff. And it is sleeting, and raining. Out of the 4 muzzleloaders i have, the wolf is the cheepest, and if it gets a little banged up and wet, thats ok. I ould be using my Williams peep on it.
