The purpose of muzzleloading varies greatly from shooter to shooter. I am kind of stuck in the middle. My inlines are plunger guns with #11 caps. I also have a Great Plains rifle. You know if I lived further West where longer shots seem to be the norm I might be interested in one of the newer rifles to expand my range. Where I hunt a 100 yard shot rarely presents itself.
I just don't get my undies in a bundle over what someone else wants to shoot.
