Make sure to read the fine print to figure out if the special permit requires bulk powder, open sights, nonsaboted bullets, or if it has any other unusual regulations. Those special permit hunts can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

For a 1 time hunt I would look for an old CVA Kentucky rifle in 45 or 50 cal. For around a 100 bucks. Im guessing your setup in today's market would push 700.00 or more. & the prices for 20 or 30 sabots needed for inline muzzle loaders is ridiculous. I can buy 250 round balls for the price of 30 sabots.
you can shoot round balls out of inline but the twist rate is wrong & accuracy is pretty bad.
