I'm a traditionalist... have 8 "smokepoles" from 45 cal Kentucky to 54 cal Planes rifle (with a 12 ga shotgun and others thrown in).
I hunt deer each year with one or the other and have never been disappointed.
Muzzleloading was meant to be a "primitive weapon" season and as the "modern" loaders continue to evolve they are quickly approaching stats of smoleless centerfire rifles. Not placing judgment on users but to my "aged" way of thinking they're just not right and I can't see myself purchasing one...[crazy]
Perhaps my coonskin caps on too tight...PB
