Since your ordered it, I hope you are... There are excellent shooters and will shoot the black powders just as well as the smokeless powders. With any muzzleloader, use caution and be careful when loading and shooting, smokeless or non smokeless.

They sure do shoot some impressive groups with them. And those that have them seem to like them. I will go on record that I am happy with the other ones even though they do not shoot smokeless. If I wanted to shoot smokeless I would get one of the centerfires off the rack. I would miss the smoke, stink, bark, and yes... even the cleaning.

Good luck with your new rifle.
