'cuz some one like me might come along and say, Inlines for guys who dont know how to shoot a real muzzleloader 


Thats why.
But for me, I just like the traditional feel in my hands and the challenge. Plus its easier to buy roundballs in my town. They are STILL out of 385/ 410 grain great plains conical! Its only been TWO months. Think they'd get an order in sooner or later.

Yes.........
I have taken a (1) deer with the inline and while it was an interesting experience, I liken it to a centerfire. This year I will be using a flintlock with PRB. I hunt deer on my own or with one other hunting partner who also uses black powder (inline). Now if I were to hunt with a gang who used a CF's well the inline would be the prudent choice with the boy's.
Now for moose, I use the inline. I hunt with a gang who use centerfires. I use it for the extra whomp I can get from it without sacrificing a ton of range (I'm good to 200). If I were to hunt moose on my own (which isn't really a bright idea at my age [:@]) or with a single partnerI would consider the traditional style.
Bear are generally a one shot deal over bait and a traditional would do just fine.
To me it's the additional challenge. If I have to eat beef[:@]
[:'(]instead of deer due to the restrictions of my firearm of choice....so be it. That is something I can live with. When I'm part of a gang, I have to be able to do my part for the gang and not be so restrictive.

The first8 or 9 mebbe 10, were sidelocks. One of those a flinter.
.45's, .50's, .54's and a .58 double, no regrets and much dead stuff.
Shooting not your average inline prettyserious now, well for the past....since '99.
And, it 'taint no T/C Encore...............
.50 cal, saboted 240 grain, true weight charges of FFg......prolly send the3X9 off to the custom shop, for turrets, in the spring.
It's a phase I'm going through........
