I like them both and use whichever one I feel is most appropriate for the occasion. Obviously the laws must be followed. In Iowa I have been known to carry both up into my stand. My Iowa muzzleloader is a REMPAC 45 smokeless powder and I use 70 grain of H4198 and I will use the same muzzleloader for the PA. inline season. I use a flintlock during PA primitive weapon season. Shotgun with buckshot here in VA. Beach. The more guns the merrier.
