[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 923564, member: 33046"] The thing about smokeless is that most are .45 and there are very limited bullet selections. Guys are getting 3,000fps with their smokeless rifles but, that's using smokeless propellants, sometimes wool wads or knurling bullets. You'll also find that many guys are duplexing propellants for cold weather ignition. The guys shooting BH from them are not getting that velocity, if I remember correctly. There appears to be something about BH, that anything over 140grs V is wasting powder and bullets. Most of the guys are building them with the Savage ML action, which may not take the pressure you may be seeking. You could check out and/or call [url=http://www.hankinscustomrifles.com/rifles.html]Jeff Hankins Custom Rifles - Rifles and Pricing[/url] and Jeff may be able to help you. I believe Jeff uses the Rem 700 action in his muzzleloaders. [/QUOTE]
