Finally.... back to the subject at hand now.....

I recently saw this posted on another Muzzleloading board...

"The regs are about to change in Mississippi, allowing single-shot breechloaders (.38 cal. min) such as a .38-55, .45-70, .45-90 Sharps and high wall rifles loaded with smokeless cartridges to be used right alongside muzzleloaders in their "primitive" season. There has been a run on H & R Handi-Rifles as a result.

Yet, smokeless powder is NOT specifically legal in muzzleloaders.

If you are a smokeless muzzleloading shooter and care to support Mississippi with your tourism and hunting dollars, or care to support smokeless muzzleloading in general-- a FAX to 601-432-2187 would be helpful.

You can also write if you wish; if you click on "Primitive Weapons" at the above url, you can read the specifics and get the proper address."


Regardless, of any personal feelings on the issue it is good to see shooters becoming more active in the polical/legislative processes as a result of membership on hunting boards like this one and many others...JC
