New to muzzleloading!

[armedlutheran1776]

I Hunt with my dad's Marlin 336 in 35rem most of the time, or with a .223 AR-15, but I've been getting into the idea of hunting the muzzle loader season. I bought a traditions deer hunter kit I'm going to build and try to hunt with next year. If I can get my groupings good, I'll move onto an inline. Looking forward to building something other then a modern rifle and get to try to fill a tag I otherwise wouldn't of tried.

Welcome.
Just remember that IF you move onto that inline, that we don't discuss them on this forum. Try our sister forum Modern Muzzleloaders

Glad to have you here. Poke around the various parts of this site. It's fun and there's a wealth of knowledge in both new and old posts. Winter's a great time to do a kit. Enjoy.

Welcome! You won’t go wrong with traditional…

Welcome to the Forum. A lot of members have had a lot of success with their deerhunter rifle. It is quite likely that @armedlutheran1776 will find that moving to an inline is not an improvement. Give that Traditions rifle a chance.

I'll definitely give it a chance!

If you plan on going to inline, may as well stay with centrefires!

Seriously though, people tend to go the opposite direction. You may find you do the same. I hunted with an inline for maybe 7 years before going traditional. Sold the inline and never looked back.
