ALTHOUGH, I understand that where Med hunts you can't use centerfire rifles on deer, so I am NOT dissing his use of this fancy weapon.
In PA and MD you can't use Semi-automatic riffles unless you are confined to a wheelchair, and then it has to be plugged to take no more than 3 rounds.....many places have restrictions that vary.

All muzzle loader rifles only get one shot.....adn reloads do take far more than 5 seconds.....accuracy?..................the old sharps rifle of the 1800's was legendary for its accuracy...........I think that was a muzzle loader, or was that a falling block breach loader rifle. Anyway, some of the old muzzle loaders were damed good.......as good as these new ones, which work on same principles only look modern.

Of course there is a big difference between a flint lock and a percussion cap rifle........
