[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2484490, member: 711"] My SML was put togethere by these folks: [url]http://www.smokelessmuzzleloading.com/[/url] They custom fit their barrel to a NEF or H&R receiver. Mine is a really good shooter. Extremely simple, less complex than the Savage breech plug, not as pretty as the converted barrel in this thread. Worth a look if you want to go smokeless. A friend of mine has the savage and loves it. It's more complicated than it needs to be. If your accuracy remains off, it could be the sabots. The ones available from the SML site above are designed for the higher temps and pressures of smokeless, but they may not have your diameter. They can probably refer you to their supplier for your caliber. I recommend you chase down some of your fired sabots and look for burning on the skirts. If there is any, it will kill accuracy. A gunsmith who does lots of black powder told me the front of a bullet can be very deformed without accuracy suffering much, but that he and some friends had tried nicking the trailing edge of bullets with wild inaccuracy as a result. I suspect a burned sabot skirt would have a similar effect. [/QUOTE]
