I guess it’s all about what you like, for me I have always used loose powder, never used a pellet. I guess they’re reaching out to a lazy hunter!!
Wow, lots of cool discussion here, thanks y’all!
Seems like I differ from many posters in that I’m mostly interested in extending my hunting season, rather than MLs specifically. That said, I want to make a smart choice about my next ML purchase, and I think the coat per shot issue is worth considering. Plus if it gets taken off the market the gun is worthless.
I’m not familiar with 45-70s. Is that a type of muzzle loader?
I would buy that.The worst thing about the whole dealo is Traditions offers a nice little CF single shot called the Outfitter G3 in 45/70. If they offered it in a ML only 45cal 1-20 they would have a dandy little rifle with that Lothar barrel.
I would buy that.
Im not personally familiar with the Rev, but if your getting a flyer now and then its probably you flinching or something. Heck try shooting with just one pellet even. Or Try different bullets first. Anything 250-300 saboted. Til you get anything that groups better. Then start changing your powder, and volume of it.How about the Knight Revolution I already have -- decent gun?
I shot about 20 rounds at the range before the season opened, and had issues with flyers. I was shooting 5-round groups and usually four were in a good group and one was way off. It wasn't always the first or second shot after cleaning. I was using 209 primers and two 777 preformed powder pellets, with Powerbelt all-copper bullets.
I would just add that convenience to me means convenience at the range or in the field. Weighing or volume measure in a Lane tube at home ahead of time. Qwik and simple uncap and pore down the barrel.Well, you said it, it’s designed to be super easy and convenient, but that convenience comes at a cost. It’s going to be very expensive to shoot. Not a big deal if you shoot less than 10 times a year but it is if you’re a regular at the range. If you do a search here you’ll find plenty of disparaging remarks but I haven’t seen any comments here from anyone who’s actually shot one.
One of the items listed in the SDS is interesting

I generally do the same.I would just add that convenience to me means convenience at the range or in the field. Weighing or volume measure in a Lane tube at home ahead of time. Qwik and simple uncap and pore down the barrel.
