The problem with plastic in a muzzle loader is black powder will melt the plastic in the barrel.

I have opened the chokes on two Parkers and have nightmare's over it. At one point I thought IC was the best of all worlds and opened up the left barrel to match the right on a GH I used for everything. Now I prefer about .015 constriction, light modified, and .025 an improved modified. I have a VH with 26" barrels choked like that. The other set of barrels are 30" with .030 and .042.
The other Parker opened up was a 32" VH choked full and fuller. 3" chambers and IC both barrels to shoot steel through. I want to throw up every time I think about that.
