nordrsetaA .62 or larger rifle using a prodigious charge of black powder ought to suffice. There have been plains rifles made for such work but I can't abide a hooked buttplate. The Zephyr might be interesting

DoublessMy White 97 Ultra Mag, with a 460-grain Power Punch bullet, and the highest charge of either Pyrodex or Triple 7 that gave good accuracy at ~75 yards. Not a problem...

ReloaderIf you'd shoot one w/ a 458 Win Mag, you could just use a Savage

I can imagine a .458 solid or X would be quite effective in a MMP HP sabot ontop of a stout charge of 4198.

UglystickI shoot an inline just to get another week in the woods. So NO I would not feel that using a muzzleloader was anything special.
