Specifically on an Encore 209x50?

I have seen them but never could figure out at what point it would pay to have one. with all the new more reliable powders and 209 primers and the invent of the inline rifle. i don't think they have as much use as they once did.
Odawgp-Thanks for the input. I'm very new to BP and I'm a little paranoid about having a "click" when I needed a "boom" with the bull of a lifetime in the sights. I am considering using the CO2 Load Discharger to empty the the breech nightly without having to blast a stump in the middle of the night.
LOL never thought about it that way.
I never developed the "click" paranoia, I developed the other one.
ChiT!!!, "your not close enough, you can't hit that from here!!!" Range finder says I can, BS I'll get closer oops bye, bye elk not sneeky enough I guess [:o)]
let me know how that goes, the hunt that is
Not ALL of us shoot Inlines. For the occasional "dry ball" loading, the CO2 dischargers come in mighty handy on traditional M/Ls. Emery
I would certainly hope not!! Unfortunately my exposure to black powder has been limited to inlines...that will change.

elkoholic.....I can't believe you shoot a "Inline"...
Right now BP is just a means to and end... a huge, smelly, testosterone filled, 330+, freezer full of sausage type end.[:p]

And just what is wrong with a inline. [;)]

ODAWGP In my humble opinion........It is a CHEATER's way of doing things... It is like a pitcher throwing a spitball,,or a sass shooter fixing his trigger so it fires on the closing of the lever,,and all the sneaky little ways the cheaters use to gain an edge..after all,,we are supposed to be SPORTSMEN,,not "WIN AT ANY COST" players.. It is up to the user, 'The powers to be' have not set the proper rules as of yet but you can be sure they will soon wise up..I HOPE....Muzzle loader hunting should mean just that,,not anything you can do to add an edge..Every time I see those darn things hanging on the walls I get a bad feeling..But then I'm seventy and was told all my life to be an honest PLAYER..It's up to you to be your own person..If it makes you happy to be '1 up',go for it..good luck modoc

I use the CO2 discharger on my Encore and it works great - well worth the $$$ and much better than killing stumps...they're too hard to field dress - ya know.
and they are hard to BBQ with out excess flame! [:D]
I did buy one and it works great.
