Something about having an extra season to accommodate muzzleloaders being taken over by souped up scoped zip guns just doesn't seem right to me.
Where I live, we don't have a separate muzzleloader season, so only us old guys that appreciate the challenge normally use the sidelock traditional guns.
Using an inline with imitation black powder, modern jacketed bullets, scopes, electronic ignition and whatever modern stuff a person can think up just seems an abomination of the whole concept of muzzleloader hunting.
Maybe it's all legal, but just because a person stuffs a propellant down the muzzle doesn't make the whole thing palatable to me.
Just my opinion for what it's worth, I hope I'm not stepping on too many toes.
