i been using a triumph pursuit LT for the past 5 years and been very happy with it. BH209 powder and some all lead conical bullets from Precision rifle have been deadly on deer, hogs, elk and 1 cow buffalo.
I've been shooting a Thompson Center .50 for years. Love it. Simple. Reliable. Shoots straight. Go for it.
I agree, Thompson is very good.Quote:

I've used a Thompson Center Omega with driftwood grey wood (I like wood so much better than synthetic) w/ a Nikon scope for the last five years. My daughters and I have taken ten deer with that gun. TACK DRIVER!!!!
I hunt with a scoped T/C Omega and it is very accurate to 200 yards. I've taken two antelope and one elk at 155-175 yards. I use it were its allowed to use a inline scoped muzzleloader. I hunt with a T/C Triumph open sights and it is very accurate out to 150 yards with my aged eyes. I really like the break action and speed breech features. I am considering putting a scope on for use in those states that allow a scope on a muzzleloader. (Means the scope comes off the Omega) I also use a T/C Hawkins (percussion cap)/open sights. Fun but I limit myself to 100 yards.
T/C Omega or Pro Hunter
T/C Triumph With Nikon BDC scope. Tack driver
