I'm a newbie to all this, but common sense is telling me to spend my hard earned pennies on a rifle BUILT to shoot smokeless, than to try altering a weapon to use smokeless powder safely.
From the mouths of babes? Newbie you may be, but there is alot of wisdom in this.
If you buy a Savage, know its built to safely shoot less than 46 grains of smokeless powder. Don't put more than that in it and if you want all that testing to mean something, follow Savage's recommendation to a tee.
Happy Hunting, Phil
