[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2274775, member: 18710"] If you are wanting to hunt deer with it I would say to get an inline. There are many different reasons to get a BP gun. If you want some fun shooting get a revolver. If it is for nostalgia you might get a flintlock. A .32 or.36 cal side lock percussion would be good for small game. A BP deer rifle with some of the special projectiles can be expensive to shoot. A round ball gun and a mould can be cheap to shoot. You can fine tune a load with a BP gun and spend as much time doing it as you can reloading a brass case. Even the round ball shooters will try many different types and thicknesses of cloth for a patch. You can end up with as many accessories as a bow hunter. You have to narrow it down some to make a good pick. I have two side lock percussion rifles and a double barrel shotgun. If I buy another one it will be a Ruger Old Army stainless revolver. [/QUOTE]
