[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 94457, member: 25"] Guys, Smokeless has not gone over the way that some companies hoped, therefore Knight, T/C, Traditions and CVA are not rushing smokeless rifles to the market. Believe me, they all looked at it and decided against it for safety reasons, and so far the market is just not demanding it. Will it stay, probably but not likely to increase much or it would have shown signs of doing so by now. Might be wrong. As I see it smokeless is for guys who do not want to be bothered with extensive cleaning and the rust concerns of the past (recent smokeless substitutes have significantly reduced these concerns) and guys who are looking to push the envelope. I shoot with factory guys who are interested in pushing our confident shooting distances but we are staying with Pyrodex and 777. Have 300 yards accuracy fairly good, now to move to 350. Do we need it? About the same challenge as shooting out at 550 -600 yards with a good .308 rifle or longer with a magnum. Please don't forget where muzzleloading came from - 300 yards is a good challenge but so is getting in to 15 yards with a flinter. My heart beats way faster when I am in close, one blink can blow it. Sometimes it is good to take a step backwards instead of foreward. [/QUOTE]
