[QUOTE="vandiver, post: 284965, member: 3686"] I can and have built several long range "smokeless" muzzle-loaders built on a Remington 700 short actions in .45 caliber. I hate to give out too much info., but I'll give you guys some. I'm getting consistent velocities of just over 3000 fps with a 275 grain bare (no sabot) bullet. Over 5000 fpe at the muzzle. They will group 3 shots under .5" all day long in 30 degree to 90+ temps. (one day to the next here). At 300 yards we normally see 3 shot groups under 2.5". My best 3 shot groups have been under .250" at 100 yards, under 2" at 300 yards, and under 5" at 600 yards. I'll go against any muzzle-loader out there with one of these. The pressure levels are below safe levels. I would not pull the trigger if I didn't know that. Oh yeah, I've been a member here for a while (lurking), and I think this is my first post. I just couldn't stay quiet anymore. Take it easy on me! [/QUOTE]
