Any Illinois muzzleloading hunters read the fine print in the 2007 deer hunting firearm regulations? Say's and I quote "Modern smokeless powders (nitrocellulose-based) are a approved blackpowder substitute only in muzzloading firearms that are specifically designed for their use". So, I've read that a couple of different times and the way I'm understanding it, you are now allowed to use smokeless powder muzzleloaders in Illinois?? If thats the case I may be in the market for a Savage 10ML. I'm retiring the end of April, just might needto buy myself a present with some of my vacation payout

I think I'll call DNR and get the scoop on that.........
