New England Firearms Muzzleloaders

I am in the process of looking for a muzzleloader and saw a New England Firearms Huntmaster (.50 caliber) at a local gun store for $139. Does anyone know if they are a very good gun - accuracy, ignition system, durability? My experience with NEF centerfire rifles is that they are resonably accurate - is this true for their muzzleloaders also? Does anyone know if the .50 caliber is better or worse than the .45 caliber, or is it more a matter of preference? My goal is to hunt deer with it, with a maximum range of approximately 150 yards. Any suggestions, recomendations, or knowledge will be appreciated. Thanks.
