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

ORIGINAL: frontier gander

I wonder how a Savage smokeless muzzleloader would handle an accidental double load?
Well, a double powder charge would probably knock you on your can. Each Savage is proof tested individually to 129,000 psi. If there's a gun to make that kind of mistake with, it's this one.
A double charge involving two bullets? Well, that's an obstruction and all bets are off involving any gun.
