I started deer hunting with a 50, but had several deer run off after a well placed shot.
Likewise.

Oh Lord, talk about ruining someone's good name!They would plant a dozen inlines in your house if it would save the swamp.
I do understand the reticence with flintlocks. From the outside, they can seem intimidating. (They're not, and I encourage everyone to find out for themselves.)
Beyond that, I will say that inlines are responsible for more headaches than any other style of BP gun and I encourage nearly everyone to avoid them. (If you have to have a scope and are hoping for a 200 yard hit with a handgun bullet in a sabot, then buy an inline, and good luck to you.) My recommendation to everyone else is to find a caplock, buy a book, and get started the right way.
Don't know what kind of inlines he's using, but If you can't use a Wolf or Optima without issues, you probably don't need to play with any other black powder guns.I know my BIL had fits with his. If I had a dozen inlines I'd use them for mater stakes.

Or have the barrels breeched and fitted with stocks and locks. There’s good barrel steel there!I know my BIL had fits with his. If I had a dozen inlines I'd use them for mater stakes.

You could always load some of them pointy things in yer flintlock.Too fast of a twist.
For prb? Yep. But for longer bullets they would be just fine.Too fast of a twist.

I thought you said you were a purist? Purist and inline don't belong in the same sentence. If was me I'd go with a Lyman Great Plains.
i've owned an Encore muzzleloader since 2005. After buying the new extractor that turns sideways, new stronger hammer spring and having the receiver welded up and machined to eliminate barrel side play; it's a good gun. Three of the five centerfire rifle barrels i bought had excess headspace.
I knew that you knew… since I’m about the lone ranger when it comes to bullet guns! On some forums you can become unpopular for mentioning anything but the Holy round ball…I knew what you meant. I was funnin with you hence the smiley face.
why did you keep going back at least 5 times?
Yes to the Acurra LR I bought one for my nephew. It's by far the best I've used. But it's also the most expensive.I’m after a new muzzleloader before black powder season. I’m wondering what to get. I’m a purist, so I’d love to use a flintlock, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to really put one through its paces. I’ve determined to go inline with a flintlock in the future. That said, any thoughts? I’ve shot, and liked the budget friendly(and a lot of value for money imho) TC impact, but it’s gone now it appears… I’ve hunted with a borrowed traditions, but it’s a shorter barrel, and accuracy seems to fall off. I’m liking the looks of the Accura LR, but curious if anyone has ever used them?
What happened to the Lyman blackpowder rifles? None in stock?
I'm in your campgotta love the "purists" ... I have room for all types in my toy chest... flint,cap,209 inline- traditional etc
I have t/c tunder hawks that shoot great- renegades and hawkins and a great plains flinter...I have a traditions pursuit I haven't shot yet but it looks like it will be great. I don't limit my toys...
I like the traditional but I have nothing against anything. Just so it goes BANGgotta love the "purists" ... I have room for all types in my toy chest... flint,cap,209 inline- traditional etc
