Which Muzzleloader to buy?

[Dameion]

I have been hunting muzzle for 8 years now and had nothing but problems for the 1st 3 years....so bad that I switched guns each of the 1st 4 years before I was recommended the T/C Thunderhawks by ".54 Thunderhawk" above in this thread.

I guess at the end of the day there are probably a few good solutions out there, and a lot of it depends on the way you hunt.  For the most part if you hunt in Western WA you better be ready to battle the elements as we do every year and we have had more than our fair share of misfires from wet powder and even wet caps over the years.

I can tell you that myself and our camp of 9 have had a wide variety of guns and all but one of us have switched to T/C over the past 8 years.  A couple Hawkens, 4 Thunderhawks and 2 Black Diamonds.

Knight Disc Extreme, 52 CAL
Knight Rifles modified the Bolt ( Its Called "the Western Kit") to make it legal in WA and exposing the Cap to the Elements They do it for FREE!!!! It takes the old #11, Muskets or can have 209 if you change the Bolt back.

 Its the New .52 Caliber and It is sweet!!  I Upgraded from a .50 Bighorn to .52 for the long range. My family hunts in Iowa where muzzle loaders are like Modern rifles out here on the west side. They can have scopes and my cousin swears he hits 300 yds with 18 inches hold over.  I can say that I have hit the 200 yd target at Clark County GC with my peep sights but I can hardly see the Dam target.  I will let any one come shoot this thing so they can see the difference of the Calibers!!!  I really liked my Bighorn but now it just sits in the Safe......
