I wonder if some of these people realize that with out the cartridge case you don't have the warning signs that we reloaders use to know when to back off. That is the reason I will not use smokeless in a muzzle loader it has nothing to do with weather it is smokeless or not it is the pressure regulate type of burning which reduces your safty factor.

Lee,
It occurs to me that the Toby fella may have been getting signs he was pushing his Savage too hard. Seems he was complaining about erosion of the breech plug long before he blew up his Savage.
There seems to be a myth that the 10 ML is safest, most tested smokeless rifle out there. I figure that it probably is the most tested. But "more" testing doesn't make the 10ML "more"safer
. It merely reassures us that its safe enough to do safelywhat Savage says it will do safely.
Happy Hunting, Phil
