Montana Outdoors: Back to Basics: Muzzleloaders

I love traditional black powder muzzleloaders. The modern, in lines that use a primer, fast twist barrels and in some cases smokeless powders are just modern caseless single shots. The old guns though-they’re a challenge and put the hunt back in hunting. You want a challenge? Take a .32 flintlock long rifle, a .310 patched round ball and go collect a half dozen squirrels. You’ll have more fun than you’ve had in a long time and you’ll learn the meaning of “hunting”. Upsize to a .45 or 50 and go after that big buck you want. Use a cap lock if you wish. Either way, when you’ve succeeded you will have became a hunter.
