Thanks for all the info guys. I see in the regulations that the muzzloader has to be loaded from the muzzle. I see a lot of the new Muzzleloader break open, does that mean that they load that way, or do they still load from the muzzle. So why do the call them MUZZLEloaders if they don't load from the muzzle?

Maybe for cleaning purposes? Pardon the dumb in-line questions but I'm from Pa, our smokepoles have to have flint and steel and they still are loaded from the muzzle....so you can see how I'm confused.
