What ever happened to Traditional muzzle loading?When I hear of all those pill popping,scope mounted,bolt action muzzle loaders out there I cringe!And,all these muzzle loading big game records falling to the Jim Shockey types really angers me! I challenge you bolt action inline shooters to try hunting and shooting with a Traditional patched roundball in a flintlock rifle(or caplock),with primitive iron sights.This is the real challenge in the sport.Please don't take this personal,it's just my humble opinion.
BTW, I shoot a 1720's French tradegun,smoothbore in .62 cal.With a 325gr. round ball(.60),this gun will flatten a big bull moose at ranges under 100 yards.So call them in close and hit them big!
