Ive always cringed at companies giving the "ok" for 3 pellet loads in off the shelf muzzleloaders. The potential is very high for a dangerous user error in sub 50kpsi rated barrels. 6 pellets and just one bullet can easily exceed 50kpsi.
Just look at the other blow up that was posted recently. It was just 4 pellets and 1 bullet. It blew the barrel AND the alloy receiver of that Traditions to pieces. It appears to be a Traditions anyway. Hard to tell because there is not much left of it. This is one of the reasons i dont like aluminum alloy receivers on break actions.
