[QUOTE="Tulie, post: 456163, member: 29064"] Actually it's been illegal for longer than that if you will check. As for the Savage, both of mine are super accurate for muzzleloaders in my opinion. 1-1.5 inch 3 shot groups at 100 is the norm and the main one accounted for my one muzzleloader bull elk. One shot with a Hornady 300 XTP at 176 yards and he went maybe 3 yards and was down for good. Completely pleased with mine. I've had a Knight and a Traditions previously. The Knight shot good patterns until they replaced the barrel then it was acceptable groups but not even in the area of the Savage and the Traditions for what it was, was okay. It actually shot better then the Knight sometimes. The key to the Savage groups was the sabot and bullet combo and the seating pressure. BH209 may shoot as well, I'm going to check it out but please, cost wise it's insane how much that stuff costs. I use Reloader 7 in my Savage and it's much, much cheaper than the BH. The one jug I just got was 28 bucks plus tax for 10 oz. That's crazy plus I doubt I will get the velocity I do with smokeless. Won't deny there are some challenged folks here but that is the same anywhere and here it seems a lot of them are in public office! [/QUOTE]
