I've always wanted a blackpowder gun of some sort. I've been watching way to much tv and seeing all the guys hunting with muzzle loaders. I've been to all of the the big outdoor shops and the more I look and talk the harder is becomes. There is such a differents in guns and price. I know I want one that uses the shotgun primers. The bolt action ones look to be hard to get primer out. I know that this is a question that is beat into the ground but would like any input that anyone could give me. It's just so hard because the $100 gun looks as good as the $500 gun and I'm sure that there has to be something that causes the different prices. Thanks for any help.
