Default RE: Why blackpowder doesn't shoot as fast as a rifle?

Black powder and black powder subs burn quickly and inefficiently. As for muzzleloaders unable to cope with "smokeless" pressure, well, they better be able to. A max charge of triple 7 can hit 30,000 psi +. There are many centerfire and recommended Savage smokeless loads that produce less than that.
