I am going to be buying a muzzleloader shortly for hunting elk here in Idaho. I need a muzzlelaoder that uses #11 caps, loose powder, lead conicles, and open sights. I have heard a lot of good about white muzzzleloaders but I have not been able to find out how they compare to muzzleloaders like the CVA Accura, CVA Optima, Knight ultralight, and other nice modern muzzleloaders shooting 400-480ish lead conicles?

Anybody have any info they would like to share?

How do the CVA's and Knight do shooting Heavy lead conicles?

Is cleaning white muzzleloaders a pain in the butt or is it pretty easy like the CVA's and Knights with the quick release plug?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
