Hawgslayer, we have Calelas, Bass Pro and Sportsman's Warehouse here. Cabelas has the Mose ML stuff but no one there knows anything about them. Bass Pro has almost nothing and know nothing about them and found a few guys at Sportsman's that know a bit about them but not much for stock. Local gun shop don't carry ML stuff. Was told by one Sporting Good store that Muzzleloaders were a novelty item so they don't carry them, only real guns. Waiting on Carlos to send me a list of what I need to order from him, to include the BH209 Breech Plug. I was looking at and reading about the Harvester PT Gold bullets. Found where Jon, was writing articles where he liked them I think with the crushed sabot. The price of the PT's seem to be better that the rest.
Miley, yes Brown/Grizzly bear but Black bear also. But Moose would be the main thing to be hunting up here. Grizz would be a shot of opportunity. Black bear on the other hand I do hunt for with Bow, Rifle or now ML. Just seems like a lot of difference between CF & ML's as far as how heavy grain bullet and all.
Just glad I have an understanding wife with what it is costing me you get into this sport. Once I told her I was thinking about it she said buy it, then teach me after you learn.
