Hooray for Idaho....a muzzleload hunt should involve a patched round ball and open sights. I guess it's obvious I have no love for the muzzleloading zip guns.

Isn't a patch just a fabric sabot? I appreciate your respect for the traditions of muzzleloading, but does that mean we all have to shoot cast lead rounds and black powder in our cartridge guns, because that's how it started?
I started ML hunting because it meant an extra tag, and another 100 pounds of meat in my freezer. I liked it and now I hunt with my ML exclusively, and I want the absolute best performance I can get. If that's a patched round ball, great, but I've yet to see a patched round ball take a deer at 100 yards cleanly. I much prefer the 300 gr XTP in the MMP 3-Petal sabot ahead of 80 gr of BH 209.
