I miss the days of "primitive hunting season."

I understand the idea of why some folks use modern muzzle loading rifles...
Longer season , the ability to take any deer in many areas...
As well as getting all the sales talk / you tube "wisdom" and the like regarding the supposed superiority of modern inline muzzle loaders and how that would sway people into thinking some things.

In my view it ain't much different than using a modern center fire rifle.
These rifles are muzzle loaders ....but are also a work around to a regulation...
Regulations that keep changing and moving away from their original intent.
Hence my lament for the days of "primitive hunting season" as it was called where I grew up.

In any event...
Hunt well , respect the land , respect your hunting and shooting abilities and respect the animal being hunted.

Finally, a reason to actually buy this thing!!!

What is "closed ignition"? Just another name for an inline?

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Closed ignition is where the primer is not exposed to elements ...some inlines are closed...others are not.

Wondering if that piece of tape over the cap of my sidelock made it illegal to hunt with?

Gone are the days of buckskin condoms, sadly.

Mercy me, things just ain't like they used to be.

209 primers are legal now too. I shoot an inline with open ignition and musket caps and don't like the new rules. Next will be sabots and optics which would make the rifle nearly as effective as a centerfire.

Take heart, next time you bag a deer, save the intestines and make your own.

Are in-lines still loaded from the muzzle?

That question is out of line!

Yes, otherwise they wouldn't be a muzzleloader. Inline just means the ignition is concentric (inline with the bore).

 

[osprey]

I lament many things that have changed in this world but hard to put that genie back in the bottle. Take heart though as I don't think you will see magnified optics being allowed on muzzleloaders and that is fine with me.

Ah yes, that silly genie. Same one the ATF is stuffing back into the "arm brace" bottle?

Yep....
Something neat to consider in-lines ain't a new thing....here is mine.:

209 are centerfire primers and they're still illegal in Oregon during muzzleloader hunts.

Guessing that makes all percussion revolvers inline too, right?

I suppose...
Mostly I was just posting to show that the "in-line" idea ain't all that new.

So they give you black power guys a ounce and they want to take a ton from the semi auto guys.
Bull ship all the way.

That wouldn't work for him. It's incredibly bad form to shoot a fawn.
