For those that may not know it the guys that developed the Savage muzzleloader live about 30 miles from me in Greensboro, NC...This was also posted on the NC Hunting and Fishing Forum...Looks like some folks are trying to use scare tactics to keep people from buying Savage...

Funny thing is I also belong to a Traditional Muzzleloading website where they talk about Toby Bridges trying to get round balls banned as whitetail projectiles...I've killed better than 50 deer with round balls so I know they can be effective...The interesting thing is that I have books and magazine atricles from the 70s and 80s where Toby talks about the effectiveness of round balls...It is my opinion that Toby Bridges promotes what puts money in his pocket...

Now, for your reading pleasure is the link to the NC Hunting website where 1SHOT1KILL, who actually developed the Savage answers questions about the Savage muzzleloader...Read it and develop your own opinion...I am nchawkeye there as well...
