Well, i counted up my rifles so as to answer the poll question. Doing the counting led me to realize that muzzle loaders have ruint my life.

There are more rifles here than i realized. Anymore, all i think about is such things as breech plugs, vents, flash holes, ballistics, and muzzle loader season dates. The only primers i have purchased for years are shotgun primers, and i don't reload shotgun shells. I hoard empty plastic jugs. No longer do i fix things for wife 'Linda' i think her name is. Anymore the only things that get fixed around here are target frames that get damaged because they are placed too far away. Owning muzzle loader rifles has allowed me to legally hunt for months. Most of the months not spent hunting are spent sighting them rifle in; verifying bullets, and loads.

Thankfully, answering this poll, has woken me. When a partially insane member of this forum called me a nut, i was too far gone to realize how severe me problem was/is, but now i may or may not.
