Great article. Thanks for the tip.

I'm buying my first Black Powder Rifle. I was leaning toward a T/C Black Diamond or Knight Wolverine value pack, they are both about $300 locally. But they are also 50 caliber. Reading this I may have to reconsider, and go with the T/C Black Diamond, or Knight Super Disc in the .45 caliber.

There is a jump in price. Without actual expericence it is hard to judge. Almost like buying a scope. My $150 Simmions performs just as well for Hunting purposes as my friends $900 Pentax. I know the Pentax is a better scope but I don't think it is worth the extra cash.

How much extra performance on a Black Powder rife is needed?

The article and other postings are helping.
