[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 266659, member: 10654"] Charlieduece65, If legal where you hunt, [B]absolutely go smokeless[/B]. Get yourself a Savage ML and load it up with 300gr Barnes Originals, 58 gr Vihtovouri N120. The key to accuracy with muzzleloaders is the barrel fit with the sabot. You want a snug fit. I use Harvester Black Crushed Rib sabots. This load in my rifle is going 2,200 fps and is [B]MOA or less to 300 yards[/B]. AA5744 is also a good powder. The great thing about the smokeless muzzleloader is that you can put 100 rounds down the tube before cleaning. My Savage has a 26" varmint stock barrel. I did bed the receiver. [/QUOTE]
