[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1274957, member: 5412"] Why change what works? Its a little heavy in the barrel, but using some of the BP substitutes may not give a full burn with the shorter length? I will say using modern smokless powder in different burn rates may work with a shorter barrel, but faster powders somtimes equate to higher pressures, so it would be a trade off. Granted the Savage smokeless offers anything any MZ hunter wants, with the ability to use regular Black Powder, or any of the black powder substitutes. Ok here is my disclaimer, just for general info and I'm noway saying anything bad about your valid post, but for those that are not real familiar with powders, current centerfire powder is a "substitute for blackpowder" back in the day, and still is in some regs. I'm going to put this in bold caps to make sure that anybody reading this thread realizes that [COLOR="Red"][B]SHOOTING SMOKLESS POWDER IN ANY MUZZLELOADER NOT DESIGNED TO SHOOT THAT TYPE OF POWDER WILL CAUSE FAILURE OF THE GUN AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF YOUR LIFE.[/B][/COLOR] Powders like Buckhorn, pryodex and others advertise they are BP substitues. In my thinking it should be worded differently than that, but I'm sure their legal departments have all of that in order. [/QUOTE]
