Smokeless is not for everybody, but if you have some basic understanding and the commitment to using a smokeless MZ there are no production run MZ's that can compare in performance, cost per shot, and ease of cleaning (or lack there of).
You however may not have any need whatsoever for the extra performance you can get from smokeless. Most production run MZ's today are all legitimate 150 yd guns with the right loads. You can go and purchase any mid to top line gun, shoot 90-100 gr of Blackhorn 209 and a good 240-280 gr .45 bullet (NOT Powerbelts) and have an easy to use, simple deer killer.
If you think you need more performance, want to clean less often, want to maximize your loads through some tweaking for optimum performance, have the lowest cost per shot, smokeless may be for you. The initial cost for gun and supplies would be a little higher, you must have a powder scale, but after the initial investment the costs are less than MZ's shooting T7, Pyrodex, Blackhorn, etc.
One last point, contrary to popular opinion smokeless is safer if used in a gun DESIGNED for smokeless powder. Smokeless powder require some compression to ignite. If my bullet moves off of my powder or if I were to ever fail to fully seat my bullet my powder would not ignite. Have that same scenario with T7 or Pyrodex you will most likely have a very bad day.
I certainly don't always need to extra giddyup that I get with my smokless MZ's but it is always there if I need it.
