[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2913409, member: 21361"] While we are working on tuning a Knight Disc Extreme 50 caliber for hunting, till it gets back I may as well learn about hunting with a muzzleloader on my first hunt which will be late in snow in MIssouri, after Christmas. What will be the main challenge to getting off a shot-ignition? If so, how do you deal with this challenge? I have already received plastic devices with 209 shotgun primers. Is there a better, more reliable answer? I note the flashole in the breech plug has a tiny flashole. What is so tiny that it will fit into and clean this flashole properly? Its been since 1974 since I have last hunted Whitetails, and this will be a quality hunt with a serious landowner with his best being a 179 B&C non typical. Thus, I may have a chance to take a truly memorable buck and do not want to screw this up because of some small mechanical flaw. There is no way inn the time I can create a good ballistics chart to 300 yards with the wind factors thrown in. Do you know of any of the various tables that exist that work perfectly for a muzzleloading rifle? Thank you in advance for any help you may choose to give me in this matter. WW [/QUOTE]
