So I'm wondering what your experience with these is? Is it worth it? Is it worth taking the plunge? Or is it not enough of an improvement over a traditional muzzleloader that it's worth taking the risk?
I really like my stainless 10MLII. I purchased it years ago and have more confidence in the shot with it than with my previous muzzleloader. I don't hotrod and try crazy loads. I stick to book loads. A 300 gr SST using 44 gr AA45744 yields me 2,080 fps. There's no smoke when you shoot which is an added bonus as you can see the game. I don't worry about cleaning it during the season (2 weeks).
Lastly, it does require more attention to detail when loading one. Weigh your charges just like any other handloading. I use medical vials to store my pre-weighed charges in. Make sure the bullet is firmly seated on the charge and you shouldn't have any issues.
