[QUOTE="Carsyn.22, post: 2156677, member: 104613"] There are definitely some things to watch out for in muzzleloading, checking and double checking and a good system to develop good habits can mitigate those things. The ramifications of a mistake like that have potential to be much worse with smokeless for sure. I know a guy that has a savage smokeless, lent it to his brother, gave him powder, load info and instructions how to load it. His brother said that thing kicks like nothing else and didn't want to hunt with it because of that, turned out he had loaded by volume not weight....!!!!! When I heard that I said he was fortunate that thing didn't blow in his face. I have no idea on powder or load used but that is just a bad bad mistake no matter what. [/QUOTE]
