So far Thor. We can't use sabots so I've never tried any. I've tried No Excuses which were so innacurate I wouldn't use them, power belts which were better but still not great, and lastly Thor which were impressively accurate out of my gun with T7 but strangely not quite as accurate with BH209. I still chose to use BH 209 last year. I'd like to do a little more testing with BH209 compared to T7. I think both the Thor & No Excuses are a good choice. I've killed both Elk and Mule Deer with Powerbelts but wouldn't use them anymore unless they were all I could get to pattern out of my gun.

Thanks Co, I've heard others have good things to say about the Thor's. I used sabots around here, but someday hope to have to get set up for out west.

I've had great results with the tc encores. Although, only have shot sabots down it. Very accurate gun.

I have had a knight bighorn for about 5 years and really like it extremely accurate it has never not went of while hunting or just shooting, it just a really reliable gun. I think most of the new muzzleloaders they make today are pretty accurate. But some have problems with not going off every time. I have a couple buddy's with traditionals great guns besides they have problems going off every time the way the hammers built if you don't have the cap really tight they don't always go off. Anyways that's what I know

I picked up a muzzy tag for my wife last year in June. I did the research and purchased a CVA Accura. I had no prior experience and it was amazing how easy it was to figure out. It was a blast. Buy one and don't look back,

There is no way I'd call it the "best" muzzleloader, but I love my CVA Wolf. It costs $200. So, you could use the savings to upgrade your other gear. it is a break action which is both easier to clean and shorter overall than bolt or plunger types. I bought the "compact" model which has a stock that is an inch or two shorter than normal. Being both light and short, It is very easy to strap on my pack when climbing steep hills. It is so easy to swing the short little gun up to my eye, it feels like a bb gun. Still has the full 24" barrel though. I also like the factory recoil pad. I switched to a Williams rear peep last year and liked it better than the factory sight. I shoot 110 grains of BH209 and a 300 grain Thor. I drilled out the breach plug to have a wider flash channel. A buddy of mine used BH209 in an old TC rifle last year with the standard breach plug and had hang fire problems.
