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
