I guess I will take that as a no-comment.

I would still like to know how a breech plug causes a barrel to blow up 6-8" down the bore. Guess I will never know.

BTW I do not own and do not intend to own any smokeless muzzleloaders. I bought one of the first available inlines (Scout Carbine) and bought an Encore the first full season they were available. That is about as far as I will take m/l speed I have plenty of fun centerfire rifle to fill the bill. I do consider this a Savage slam though and your website content seems to prove it.

This dosn't take away from your other experiences and I'm glad you are out there although I do not believe your story on the Savage arms.
