I do not hunt with a traditional ML any longer but when I did I started with a CVA but quickly switched and used a TC Hawken or a TC Renegade.  I much prefer the Renegade...

my custom  54  for  Deer,  Elk  and Bear the  62 cal trade gun for  Turkey and grouse . Really enjoy hunting with the long guns .  also have a in line that I use when the weather is really bad  don't wish to mess up or damage  my traditional  guns. use it more as a beater  when its raining like cats and dogs here. Just don't  want to replace them if they should get damaged due to hard hunting is all .

   far as I can tell you they DO NOT  shoot them at the black powder events.  but there are some folks that shoot them when the weather get really bad during hunting season. you are welcome to join and ask around  but as far as i know  no one gets all bent if that's what you shoot .

I built my flintlock about 22 years ago.  It's still a great shooter and has taken several elk and deer.
