Favorite WA legal Muzzleloader?

Glad to hear someone on here likes them, too.  I'm going to put in some serious range/field time with them this year to nail down the trajectory.  I did see those 495 grain bullets he makes  - but opted for the "lighter" of the two.  I just haven't seen too many angry cape buffalo during elk season! 

I am 100% sold on the Green Mountain LRH (Long Range Hunter) barrel.  It turned my average 1:48" twist Hawken into a 1:28" heavy bullet tack driver - it is now much more accurate than I am.  Whatever Doc did, he did it right.

Hey guys new here.I shoot a custom tc renegade that I built from a kit with a barrel built by oregon barrel co. 458 cal 1 in 18 twist 30 inch long. I cast 400 grain spitzer bullets from a  458 45/70 mold, resize and paper patch.100 grains tripple seven  and she will print 3 shots into 1.5 inch at 100 yds. I have a lyman target peep with a fiber optic front.living in the desert I get to shoot a lot and this gun shoots for me out to 200 t yards  as long as  I use my range finder and dial it in 1 gallon milk jugs at 300 are really fun.but I would never shoot at big game that far.but a broadside elk  at 200 that I have ranged and  have a solid rest to shoot from ,as several have discovered, is dead.

This thread kind of got off topic... More towards bullet choice than Favorite ML but it's full of good info! Especially for a newbie like myself.  I've got a T/C Hawken and like it for the most part.  All my cousins hunt with the Knight Bighorn and swear by it.

I love the traditional look/function of the T/C Hawken, but maaaan that buttstock end just looks deadly. Shoulder it wrong, and I'm sure you'd be feeling that for weeks to come

Was looking at the T/C Renegade and it seems to pretty much be the same as the hawken, but without that nasty buttstock end. Same with the T/C Grey Hawk, almost the same as the Renegade, but in an all-weather type setup

I have a limbsaver slip on pad that fits nice on my Hawken and I use it at the range but I actually like the shape of the butt stock as it contours to the shoulder well and feels stable to me.

Love my T/C Hawken with the 32" .62 Green Mountain barrel.  The barrel started as a drop-in smoothbore that I had rifled 1-72" by Ed Rayl.  It shoots better than I can by far and a 325 gr round ball behind 90 gr of Goex 2f has worked just fine for deer and elk.  A traditional gun just has to have a hooked butt!  I've never noticed any pain in shooting it, but I've never used more than 100 gr of 2f and much more may not get burned before the ball was out the barrel.  The other go-to rifle is my T/C Seneca .45 .  It's much lighter and has worked very well on mulies in the Snake River Breaks with round ball or maxi-hunters.
