Do you really think any ML rifle tech like Randy or Tobytest their rifle barrels & actionsbeyond the recommended grainswithout any body protection (or) a contraption that allows them to remain a safe distance away? Many use a face shield and a chestvest while testing. Was Toby hurt? Did Randy test those Savages with full body exposure?.... heck no!
Honestly, I don't see, and i think you would agree, any useful purpose in Randy orToby, deliberately loading any of their muzzleloaders, Savage or otherwise, with loads which are prohibited by the manufacturer. It is a terrible example and a complete abandonment of the responsibility both bear as respected, knowledgeable, individuals in the sport of muzzleloading.
Happy Hunting, Phil
