I amNOT a traditionalist andshoot a Knight Disc rifle and an Ultimate Firearms BP Xpresswhich Ifeelare pushing the envelope in a primitive season, but a 45/70 and Savage smokeless is WAY over the edge in my opinion. That kind of takes the "primitive" out of it. It may be time toback up and regroup when it comes to a "primitive" season.
How is the shooting the "Ultimate" more primive than the Savage w/smokeless?

With velocities approaching 2400 feet per second (fps) with a 300 grain bullet (with 200 grains of Pyrodex Pellets), the ability to burn up to 5, 50 grain pyrodex pellets (250 grains!), and an easy, 2 minute cleanup, this is truly a scientifically engineered, long range muzzleloader.
