Default RE: Muzzleloaders what do I stay away from and what do I buy?

I own a T/C Black Diamond XR which is a great all around rifle. It shoots sabots great, but I often times hunt with 460 grain No Excuses Conicals. Although I only use 85 grains of Pyrodex P to shoot them or something equal to that in power, it seems to be all the rifle needs. It is accuracte and hard hitting with the big conicals as well as flat shooting with the sabots...

Also it has a great warranty from a company that will be in business a lot longer to come. The only draw back if you can call it that is the Black Diamond does not have the new style breech design of a drop action. It is the old fashon striker action with three different ignitions to choose from. Because of it being the older style you can find them on sale for a very reasonable price from time to time....
