The Simmons will not hold up to smokeless charges
Take a close look at this new Savage... it is not or does not appear to be a
smokeless.
It is billed as a
Savage 10ML BP Muzzleloader ....
It has this description attached...
Plus, it boasts the accuracy to shoot less than 1.5" groups at 100 yds. with Blackhorn 209, Triple 7, Shockey Gold, or White Hots.
Plus a different feature in that it has a 26" barrel vs the normal 24" barrel..
I am a bolt fan and a non Nitro-Cell fan so it looks really appealing to me - Just gotta figure out where to get the bucks....
The Savage home page for MLers:

does NOT list the 10ML BP as a model. It is Cabelas Marketing NOT Savage marketing. The 10ML2 will certainly shoot all the substitute stuff. Maybe they did make a special run for Cabelas with the 26" barrel. Seems crazy to me to make a weaker gun, it is certainly more expensive than I have seen.
