Thanks to all who have posted!

Great information for those of us who are learning the ropes.

" is difficult to tell when it's going to break - much less desirable."

While I agree with nearly all of your post, I've been taught that a trigger that surprises you when it breaks, leads to greater accuracy a/c not anticipating recoil.
Not an expert, but a trigger that breaks like a dried twig with little travel in the poundage you reported works very well for many.

Good post Semi.

Semi, I can go along with most of that and I don,t believe two stage triggers apply to very many muzzle loaders: but i have been a state champion in PRB bench and take a nice goodie in national to so I feel I know a bit about bench shooting and a good bench shooter can still deal with a not so good trigger,but shooting off hand and hunting is when a bad trigger can really ruin accuracy. Now this is just my opinion for what it is worth but since we agree on most things I though I should mention it to you.
