Personally, I don't have an issue with smokeless muzzleloading or anyone that does. I guess I should have clarified for Michigan's shotgun/muzzleloader only zone. In the rifle zone's the sky is the limit which is cool beans with me.

But what is going on is legislation here in Michigan is starting to look at the extended ranges of muzzleloaders in the shotgun/ML only zone.

I see smokeless powder ML development potentially pushing the effective range substantially farther than with traditional black or substitutes. If the range of ML's get excessive (and I don't know what that magic number is), then we may face legislation that restricts not only smokeless ML use but more. Which I do care about.

I would not be surprised if Michigan does not come up with an iron sights or limited optics rule for ML hunting in Michigan's lower peninsula shotgun/muzzleloader zone. When the zone was created, the basis for the shotgun/Muzzleloader restriction was that at that time shotguns and ML's effective range was about 100 yards.
