My muzzle loading deer rifle is this Divide Petersoli 12 boreexpress double.

While I have heard that the regulation of these double is sp otty, my throws both barrels together at 100 yards when loaded with 125 grs of Pyro...
Best group is for 6 shots into 5 to 6 inches at 100...this is as good as I can shoot this thing...

I do not consider myself to be recoil sensitive but this is about all I care for...it is about shooting a light 12 gauge shotgun loaded with heavy 3" mag loads off a bench....once I shot it "casually" off hand and almost bit my tongue off and broke my nose with my thumb....

One real issue that I have is that it is impossible to spot your shot on game and simply have to wait for a REALLY big cloud of white smoke...

Anyway it is double cool to play will and will kill deer for sure...
