Muzzle Loaders. (Thompson Center)?

I need a new muzzle loader and i want to know from experience which one you like better between the Thompson center encore endeavor, or the Thompson Center Triumph? From experience and moneys not a problem

Answer:

No. you will get rifle nipples and musket nipples. in case you replace the rifle nipple with a musket nipple, you improve the reliability of ignition and decrease the possibility of a misfire. The caps used on the musket nipple are bigger than those for the rifle nipple and are not interchangeable for a given nipple. the unique nipple on your .50 sidelock muzzleloader substitute right into a rifle nipple.
I will say right up front, I don't like the modern styled in-line muzzle-loaders. I greatly prefer the side-hammer traditionally styled rifles. With that said, I will heartily recommend the Encore. My reasoning is that the Encore is much more versatile. With a modest outlay of additional money, you can add a huge number of different barrels for your rifle. You can use the same rifle for muzzle-loader hunting, small game hunting with a .22 LR, and big game hunting with a wide range of cartridges. Yep, the Encore is just to versatile to ignore. Doc
