My .54 flintlock, less than 30 seconds...

I use a loading block, a thinner patch, have a preset measure on the thong with the
block...All this added together makes for a fairly quick reload...

My inline, 2-3 minutes because I clean the barrel between shots...

Just for the record, in over 30 years of muzzleloading for deer, I've never needed to quickly reload for a second shot at the same animal...I did have 2 other bucks walk through after shooting the first one time...Funny thing is, I was using my inline, if I had
of taken the flinter, I would have been reloaded....btw, I shot the smallest, they kept getting bigger...

Muzzleloading is always about the 1st shot...
