[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 501906, member: 22262"] Back before deer season i traded a guy a Remington 710 for a Savage 243. Not really needing another 6mm caliber (have a 6br and 243 Super Rockchucker) i started looking for things i could do with it. I came across some guys on the net talking about being able to make a smokeless muzzleloader out of them. My interest was peaked with the thoughts of being able to shoot smokless powder and getting a lot more FPS than what i have right now. So i took the dive and bought me a barrel. After a couple months of waiting i got all the parts together and put it all together.
