BriBri,
If you'e looking to decide between a shotgun and a muzzleloader, it all depends on how far you expect to shoot. My Omega is sighted in at 200 yards, and anything in between will be toast if I hold on the heart. At 400 yards, it still has enough energy to completely flatten a Hornady XTP bullet against a steel gong. Plenty of energy to kill a deer. It's all in how far you are comfortable shooting. But they do have the ability to reach out there a long way. Most shotguns I have experience with lose their ability to group well after about 150 yards. I like my muzzleloader for stand hunting, but I still use the shotgun when participating in deer drives or close cover hunting. JMPE gd

Some of the new shotguns with rifled barreld barrels will really reach out there, The thigh is that if you are willing to spend the monet for the latest muzzle loaders they will out shoot the shotguns by a long way. My old .45 flint lock would still shoot with the best of the shotguns, but the new modern powder muzzle loaders will do even better.
