[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5204196, member: 652"] IMO, the "age old argument" does not come into consideration anymore, at least now with modern muzzleloaders and I still, at times, hunt with a percussion, open sights and am looking to get a flintlock. There are several bullet offerings for modern muzzleloaders that are not only lighter so they are flatter shooting (not only do as much damage, but most likely more) and they exit. Also what I shoot out of a traditional muzzleloader is completely different than what I shoot out of a modern muzzleloader. And with a traditional muzzleloader, I am only using a 50 cal. Modern muzzleloader, 45 cal only. Basically no difference in killing ability in a 45 and a 50 in a modern muzzleloader, well the 45 should shoot flatter, so if needed you have an easier time of shooting at distance. Actually when the "modern" muzzleloader craze started, I called and talked to any and everyone I knew, gun makers included, about killing deer at longer distances, what caliber should I get? Every single person and company advised to get a 45 caliber to effectively kill deer at longer distances. [/QUOTE]
