BP is my favorite way to hunt. I dont post much on it but if your ask this same question in the black powder forum there are lots of knowledgable guys in there specifically Cayugad and a few others. I would go with an inexpensive .50 cal inline I like Knight rifles alot. make sure if you scope it that the same rule applies to ML scopes, buy as much glass as you can afford. Your're capable of some long range shooting with the new BP and newer bullets. have fun and make some smoke.
