Also, don't forget that if you go with Blackhorn, you will have to switch out your breech plug.

I've used and taken animals with pellets and it is definitely easier to get started using them. The big advantage though to Blackhorn though, is how much cleaner and less corrosive it is than the pelletized white hots or 777. Of course, nothing wrong with them, just might require more cleaning between shots at the range which can get annoying.

I shoot a CVA Optima and I highly recommend blackhorn 209 if you can find/afford it. If you do you the blackhorn you will need to change out the breech plug and find magnum 209 primers. I use the all copper Thor bullets and am very happy with their accuracy and terminal performance. Try muzzle-loaders.com for most of your needs. You can call them and their customer service is very good and will help walk you through what you need.
