RE: I can see it coming already....
Whether it be in-line or flint, sabot or round ball, pellets or loose powder, you still need to keep your powder dry and you only have one shot. I see nothing wrong with making smokepoles more accurate and reliable. After all, what's the end result . . . a quicker and cleaner kill. In my book, that's what we all should strive for.
