RE: new to muzzleloaders
Theres no actual proof what the spanish barrels are proofed at. Theres also no proof of what american barrels are tested at.
Todays spanish barrel is no longer an issue. Especially since cva now has a high quality Bergara barrel which is also used on centerfire.
The savage was built for smokeless powder, so naturally, it will be running very very high psi #'s.
Lets not get into this barrel proofing psi BS. You and i, or anyone else on here is no expert with any companies barrel proofing.
