I've always had a fascination with muzzle-loaders, particularly flintlock , but never really acted on it. Recently I've been doing a lot of reading about them and decided to just get it over with and buy one. I just want a muzzle-loader for that occasional (once a month or so) range trip, and I don't really need anything pretty, function is more important. I do plan on casting my own rb and my understanding is that 1:48 will work just fine for them. My experience with mls is limited to shooting a percussion ml 15 years ago that my father never shot in almost 3 decades.
Just wanted to get some input about the Deerstalker as a muzzle-loader to get started on.
Thanks.
