Shooting a muzzleloader rifle is as simple as getting black powder, muzzleloader bullets and muzzleloader supplies like cleaners and percussion caps if your rifle or revolver uses them. A Thompson Center, CVA muzzleloader or another brand of muzzleloading firearm lets you hunt in muzzleloader-only seasons, greatly expanding your time in the woods. And, muzzleloading is enjoyable in its own right, allowing the shooter to see what firearms were like before the days of modern guns using cartridges and smokeless powder.
