[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1865784, member: 38048"] The rem 700 muzzle loader doesn't have conventional lugs like the centerfire model does. It uses a screw in the side of the action that rides in a slot cut into the bolt. It's not worth converting to smokeless. You still need to convert the nose of the bolt and that will let you use shotgun primers. Not ideal for smokeless. You are better off buying a donor 700 or do what I do and buy the 700 single shot actions. I use Arrowhead ignition modules and the Brux barrel with the longer Tang to hold the higher pressure of smokeless. These guns shoot 300gn bullets at 2750fps and are very accurate. I personally just wouldn't trust the little screw in the action to hold all that pressure. Shep [/QUOTE]
