[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 2388223, member: 33046"] Actually, Western did pressure testing prior to releasing it using their test barrel. Did they error on a conservative side? Maybe, maybe not. When the Remington Ultimate Muzzleloader (RUM) was released, of course guys wanted to shoot BH in them, even though the ignition system was never designed for it. There is now an aftermarket ignition system that is flawless from Arrowheadrifles.com Western was provided a RUM for actual pressure testing. Western pressure tested the rifle and gave it a 160gr VOLUME charge or 112grs by WEIGHT. Here's the kicker........... they stopped at that charge because charges beyond that showed the starting of the lack of burn. I actually have an email/s that may help. [ATTACH type="full"]325893[/ATTACH] Concerning the following snip, either rifle is meant of the RUM and also the original Ultimate Firearms Inc. rifles. [ATTACH type="full"]325894[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
