[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 967781, member: 10178"] Yes you can shoot smokeless. Don't try to shoot those Ruger #1 loads though. I have shot a number of the Trapdoor loads with smokeless in my Sharps with no problem. Accurate 5744 with cast bullets works great. There is no critter in North America that the 400 to 500 gr bullet going between 1100 to 1400 fps at muzzle will not put feet up in the air out to 1000 of so yards. I shoot mainly black powder or Pyrodex in my rifle though. Pyrodex is much easier to come by these days and I have gotten just as good accuracy with it as with BP. [/QUOTE]
