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
How else do they test these rifles for strength -- how else do they show proof to a judge/jury when they are about to be sued for something?
We are not talking about some DNR practice range (or) sitting on a ridge while hunting here.
Boy... the thread-starter here has suddenly disappeared. How convenient! Wouldn't surprise me if he had a vendetta against Mr. Wakeman.
No I'm not suddenly "sucking-up" to Randy. But until/if he arrives here to defend himself -- Toby included, then I will defend the folks who are paid to make sure that safety/testing measures should not be confused with your range/hunting experiences.
