Centerfire powders have no business inML seasonsanyways. Glad to read that. The same exists here in Michigan. Hopefully someday all 50 states agree.
If that's the case you can get rid of every gunpowder known to man.

Further down is the cartridge data.

Under the muzzleloader loads is the cartridge data.

And of course Blackpowder has been centerfire powder for over a hundred years. Blackpowder cartridge rifles ring a bell?

Basically every gunpowder ever made is suitable for use in centerfires. Maybe not all of the different cartridgesbut then there is no smokeless gunpowder suitable for everything either. I'm glad our legislators haven't drafted laws like that. No muzzleloader anywhere would be able to hunt legally.

This years ML season in MN prohibits the use of "Nitro or Smokelesss" powder ML firearms during the regular ML season.

As it should be...sounds like the citizens and wildlife department in Minn. have their heads screwed on straight...kudos to intelligent people making intelligent decisions.
Nice of them to limit their laws to blackpowder only. Pyrodex, Triple Seven, American pioneer, Black Mag, and every other replacement powderare smokeless powders, just not nitrocellulose based. And if the wording of the lawmentions"smokeless powder" as being illegal then technically they all are illegal also. That's pretty typical of legislators not knowing what they are doing. There's a law somewhere that say's "modern smokeless powder", Delaware I think, yet the BP subs I mentioned above are all "modern smokeless powders". The oldest one is pyrodex and that was invented in the 70's or 80's. Many nitrocellulose powders are older than that.
