[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1217064, member: 33046"] Nope, no experience with smokeless propellant, with absolutely ZERO plans of it, short of centerfire. And those who do shoot smokeless from muzzleloaders, should remain on Doug's or Hankins. I guess one or the other, because those guys couldn't get along and split. They were handed a "Golden Horseshoe", with the opportunity to shoot at Friendship, but couldn't agree and argued over the rules, so that fizzled out. So, [I]"Nothing I post, or that most lost on a LONGRANGHUNTING site should be done by "most" hunters........"[/I] Well my question would be, why are you posting that information where "most" hunters are reading it? Where a misinformed hunter may believe smokeless propellant is safe, [I]'Because I read it on the internet'[/I], then end up thinking they can shooting it in his/her Knight, CVA or T/C? That is why those who shoot smokeless propellant should remain on Doug's or Hankins. Or, the web site should designate a separate forum to post for smokeless shooters. I guess I have very little experience shooting a muzzleloader (to you)....... even though I shoot 2,000 rounds or more through them each year, and have been shooting them since 1973. I guess a 400yd 5-shot group of 1.5" doesn't meet your standards and a 1.783" 3-shot 500yd group definitely wouldn't meet your standards, even with a witnessed and signed target? What would probably eat at the sabotless crowd is, both those targets were shot with T7 and a saboted bullet, but with a full rest like the smokeless guys use all the time. I'd like to think that over 300 whitetail in the U.S.A. and Canada with a muzzleloader qualifies for something...... A much better route for "most" hunters is a top quality rifle, even a custom built to shoot BH209. They are just as accurate, will shoot just as far accurately and are more safe for "most" hunters. When shooters tell you they've never had an issue, that's when something is most likely to happen. Its like dry-balling. Its not if, its when.... if you shoot enough. [/QUOTE]
