Anyone here use smokeless muzzleloaders? My off-season project is going to be getting my savage rolling again.
Savage also.
What load you using? Accuracy?
I have hunted with a Savage ML-II for about 8 years and love it. My pet load is 43 grains of N-110, 250 grain Hornady SST and a short black sabot ( I can get maker and model number if you would like). I have shot a lot of different loads through my gun and three other rifles belonging to friends. All have liked this load +- a few grains of powder. Have shot a lot of deer with this bullet and it performs great.
That's very close to what I was using years ago. 42gr of 110 and a 260 dead center.

post some pictures of the gun i would like to see it...that has to be a real challenge ...
It's actually not hard to get set up and don't have to worry about the issues that come along with black powder.
Ok...why is the picture upside down?
