[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1205609, member: 75779"] Physics....... the Laws of Physics....... with each force, there's an equal and opposite force. Therefore, 2,300fps at the muzzle with a 300gr projectile, both rifles would have equal and opposite forces. Law of Physics Ok, so I literally prove that changing the variables (compound vs crossbow) changes the physics and you disagree. Riddle me this: my gun shots 43 gr of smokeless powder and you might and I mean might get close to that velocity with 120 of BH. What changed and how is it possible? Also, if you took a lit cigarette and touched a pound of black powder with it, you'd be missing a hand. Do the same thing to smokeless powder(most of them/few oddballs out there) and it would fizzle. Please explain why. Your physics say that it should have an equal reaction and the reality is that it doesn't. Not really sure why you're being contrary and misinformed. With regards to a double charge, no gun is safe and both will either bulge or split. I will agree smokeless is more dangerous if you're using something unique like bullseye powder, but none of the recommeded savage powders are ANYTHING like it. It is apparent to me that you don't own/like/ or use a sml. If I didn't reload for center for rifles, I'd be a bit scared too. For the OP, 300 yards is really a bit much for most bp muzzleloaders. Even assuming you can get the accuracy, the drops are steep. The KE is really falling fast as well. Most guys at the gun club are thrilled to shoot 3-4" groups at 100. They always say it's shooting minute-of-deer. Hope you do far better. [/QUOTE]
