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

ORIGINAL: frontier gander

I was just curious to if it could handle the mistake. We've all seen people double load thier muzzleloaders and after they picked themselves up off the ground, told us about what happened. Double loaded, 2 powder charges and 2 bullets. Be interesting to see what it would do.

Haha Im sure toby bridges could answer that. But i think he said his was due to poor breech plug design at the time.
You are correct...Toby claims poor breech plug design.
Savage claims an intentionally rigged double load.
