That's not why I use a muzzloader, but if you do that's cool. I use one to extend my season, and where I live we can't use centerfire rifles. It's shotguns and ML's, and in my opinion a properly loaded inline ML is better than most slug guns. Although with some of the new ammo they are catching up. I use my ML during regular gun season. I try to hunt as effedtively as I can, not make it harder than it needs to be.

To each his own I guess, as long as you are enjoying yourself, that's the important part.
