RE: looking for a new smokepole
Triple Se7en wow they are beautiful and I love the look and style much more than a new inline(don't get me wrong inline have a big advantage but its not what I am interested in)thats what I want to be hunting with the one problem is I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and getting a firearm over the boarder may be stressful, if even possible. If you know anywhere that these muzzleloaders are sold in Canada more or less in my general area of the country let me know. Another one I was looking at was the T/C renegade.

Hello fellas, I owned a Traditions pursuit LT and sold it because it wasn't what I was looking for don't get me wrong it shot great and was easy to clean and well balanced but I want to get a little moretraditional(not as traditional as a flintlock) but something that uses a #11 cap doesn't have to bean inline. I would like a .50cal and I want something that 100yrds is a fairly long shot. You guys get my drift so I guess what I am asking is what are the recomendations for a brand/name etc.

With a lot of people usingmoderate powder charges for hunting compared to a max or near max charge, I'd suggest that a .54cal might be a better choice if you expect a lot of shot opportunities at 100yds...not saying a .50 won't get it done, but if it was me I'd err on the side of the bigger caliber...the heavier 230grn ball will carry higher energy out to longer distances than a smaller 180grn ball.
