This is my last post on this one as I have already said too much and hurt my reputation in the process, so it goes. I would say it the same way in person.
I just find it odd that someone who promotes exceeding manufacturer's guidelines in powder volumes is all of a sudden concerned about people shooting a firearm in a manner in which they are following what the manufacturer recommends. Every gun we shoot and any thing we do in this world has limitations. The limitations on plunger style inlines are very real and should be followed just as they should be followed for bolt style inlines. Saying it is ok to break the rules with one type but not another is just not right. I work with dangerous equipment every day. The dangers in muzzleloading pale in comparison but that does not prevent me from being safe with them to the best of my ability.
In this thread, it is my sincere belief that the safety factor was only brought up because plunger type inlines are not the rifle of choice for this poster and he feels the need to convince others to feel the same way. This is illustrated in the original post where he says a plunger types inline used with #11 cap is great for those that "need" it. Well, I don't "need" it but I like them anyway.
To each their own, but I feel we would all get along better without the arrogant attitude that "my way is best", which implies the rest of us are just a little bit beneath the original poster.
Respectfully, Art
