Don't know if this should go in Shotguns or Black Powder, so i'll put it in general and lets the mods hack it out.
As the title references, I'm interested in the Muzzle loading barrel for the Mossberg 500.
I own and (rarely) use a Traditions percussion camp muzzle loader, and while fun, it's accuracy leave a lot to be desired.
I'd like to get the Mossberg muzzle loader barrel for ML season, but before I drop a wad of cash on it (I could save up for a decent inline for not much more) I'd like to get some firsthand opinions on it from someone who has used it.
A few of the questions I have are... How does it actually work?
Is it rifled?
Is it 12 gauge or are they available in .50 (or otherwise) caliber?
Do they operate along the same lines as an inline ML?
Is the firing pin prone to damaging the cap?
Are they worth it?
Recoil. How does it compare to a 1 oz 2 3/4 slug?
Pellets or powder?
thanks
