Why are those 50 cal. muzzleloaders always so cheap at basspro and walmart?? What sets them apart from everything else? I'm looking into possibly getting a muzzleloader but am not sure where to start. The price tags on those makes them attractive but wouldn't want to hurt myself in the long run because of buying something cheap. On the other hand, I don't have OODLES of money to do this with. What's a good caliber, brand, etc. to start with??
