Default RE: watch out for winchester muzzleloaders

driftrider, Very good post and very true. We don't know all the facts.

I mean, would you buy a 44mag off me, that I regularly loaded 240gr cast bullets with 26gr of H110 instead of the recommended max of 24gr. And never had a issue of it. besides the primers cratering? I bet you wouldn't.

I knew a guy that loaded regularly, a 30-06 with 3 extra grains of 4350 I believe with 165gr bullets. He said he could easily get 3050fps with this combo and he has shot it 500 times or so. Well one day the action cracked. Fortunately the gun wouldn't fire cause the unnoticed cracked action wouldn't let the fireing pin make contact. That was only 3gr.
