A "real muzzleloader" is one that doesn't make everyone say "If we can use on of those, why can't we use a rifle?" The same thing applies to "real pistols".

I'm not a traditional elitest. I hunt with a modern scoped inline ml. I don't want to quit, but as long as they are allowed, this debate will never end. You just cannot justify not allowing certain rifles as long as these modern MLs and stockless rifles are allowed.

If we stepped backward, I could live with it. I've taken deer with patched balls and .44 slugs shot from a revolver. I can do it again. I say go one way or the other.
