[QUOTE="smokepoler, post: 446740, member: 19618"] Brute, Forgive the long post but I have a lot of time with one of these "guns". RANT MODE ON. A friend picked up a 700ML in .54 cal out of the bargain barrel at a local gunshop. After hundreds of dollars of powder (including BH209), sabots & primers, countless trips to and hours at the range, it's been relegated to flagpole duty. To say it had inconsistent ignition is an understatement. Additionally, one needed a faceshield to keep from getting blasted by the blowby. Unless you are in to massive amounts of self abuse & wish to waste money, I'd put that thing (it's not a gun) on a rack over a fireplace mantle somewhere and spend the time on a good book.:) For a good photo of ignition taken by a reviewer, go here: [URL="http://randywakeman.com/DefiningtheSealedActionMuzzleloader.htm"]Defining the Sealed Action Muzzleloader[/URL] His words? The remington 700ml was "mercifully discontinued". I'm with him 100 percent. RANT MODE OFF. Good Luck. You're gonna need a lot of it. [/QUOTE]
