A questions asked by a hunter I've hunted deer for years, but always with a modern rifle or shotgun. How difficult is it to "get into" hunting with a muzzleloader?
Not difficult at all. Most states have established separate muzzleloading seasons for deer; some before the regular season; some after. Most shooters use a .50 cal rifle, but some opt for a .45 cal or .54 caliber rifle. Contact your state Fish & Game Department for any specific regulations pertaining to their seasons. Various states will have restrictions on caliber, scopes, projectiles, type of muzzleloader, etc.

50th Anniversary For Savage Arms Shooting and hunting with muzzleloaders has always had one big drawback: cleaning the dirty, corrosive mess of black powder at the end of the day. Many hunters who might otherwise have enjoyed an extended season took a pass rather than scrub a filthy muzzleloader.

Savage has changed all that with the 10ML-II. It's versatile. You choose the propellant. Use smokeless powder, black powder, Pyrodex or other black powder substitutes. This .50 caliber rifle, with 209 primer ignition, can deliver 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards and produces velocities exceeding 2,300 fps with more than 3,000 ft lbs of knock down energy. And, if you use smokeless powder, you won't have to clean it before sundown.-Overall Length - 44"-Barrel Length - 24"-Weight - 7.75 lbs
