I have never owned a muzzle loader and have little knowledge of them.

Where I hunt there are no restrictions of any sort on rifles, ignition, or bullets. If it loads from the muzzle, it's legal for deer...

What is my best choice in rifle and load to begin with.

Assume a rifle price of around $500... If I can spend less, well, great.
If I need to spend more, tell why.

I have an assortment of steel tube Weaver 2.5s and 4Xs that I can use.
