I personaally would love to use my 30-06 in indiana. But because it is illeagal I bought a .45 inline muzzeloader that will give me great accuaracy at 250 yards. I hunt just outside of Orland in my family owned fields were most of the deer we kill are out at 150-250 yards. So, I guess what I am saying is what is the difference. With the technology in todays muzzleloaders and shotguns you can still reach out and touch them at the 250 yard range.
