This is exactly what anti gun people love to see... idiots with rifles. He loaded smokeless powder. I mean come on people, how stupid is this? Did the personthink he was going to get an edge using smokeless powder? Or was he really so uninformed that he did not understand the concept of smokeless powder VS black powder. I would guess that his .54 caliber Renegade would not be covered under T/C's life time warranty for this.

The person responsible is lucky he was not seriously injured, or killed. Also, perhaps injured someone else standing near that bomb when it went off would not have stood a chance... Wabi thanks for the posting.

While many of us find an incident like this just amazing that someone would or could try this, believe me.. there are many out there that have little clue as to how to safetly shoot muzzleloaders. Which is one reason I am so thankful for a forum like this and members like we have, willing to explain things and point out tips and reasons why one thing might be good, while another might not. That is why we often times state.. There is no such thing as a dumb question...
