I'm kinda partial to traditional muzzle loaders. I started w/ one when I was 12. A Hawkins .45 cal. A very accurate gun. won a few muzzle loader shoots at the age of 14. I still own the gun some 20 yrs. later. I recently went out and bought a new inline muzzle loader. I was impressed w/ its accuracy, cleaning and reloading time. especially when used w/ 295 grn. .50 cal powerbelts and 150grn pyrodox pellets. and yes I did put a scope on it. Its is fun but like every thing else.You tend to get board w/ it. I like the tradional more I think. its more real to the old days. ifyour into that.
