[QUOTE="Locksley, post: 385641, member: 1107"] OLD TIMER Smokeless powder is even worse for the sport of ML hunting than the crossbow is for the sport bowhunting. Savage should do the right thing and stop produceing this weapon. Tennessee should do the right thing and go back to the regs. outlawing the use of smokeless powder during ML hunts. Folks who want to use smokeless powder should stick to the regular gun hunts. -------------------- Gettin old ain't fer sissies! Tiny Oh hech here we go again. D.Pilk- I will be getting me one as soon as I can afford it.Wished they had it in .45 Cal though. Several topics on here over the past few months on it do a site serach. From the the In-lines that I have looked at the Savage is the best one I have seen,Haven't heard anyone complain about it untill now. -------------------- Have a Great Day and God Bless. Hill Country Hunter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D. Pilk, same here--I'll be getting one as soon as I can afford it. Biggest advantage is that you don't have to CLEAN it every single time you put powder in it. Lower recoil, no smoke cloud, higher velocities, and tighter production tolerances than most muzzleloaders are just a few of the other great things about it.

Just my two cents... -------------------- If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. ... May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. -Sam Adams OLD TIMER Quote ML hunting is about limiting weapons. Blackpowder,and replica powders that adhere to the same general pressure levels and curves is what keeps ML's more or less equal and limits their range. Smokeless powder turns a ML into a slow fireing modern rifle.If they come into general use there will no longer be any real diference between ML and reg. rifle season so there will be no good reason to continue to have "ML" season. I happen to enjoy ML season.I would like for my children and grandchildren to have an opportunity to enjoy ML season.In my opinion people who endanger the sport by useing smokless powder during ML season display a complete and total lack of consideration for the sport and their fellow hunters just so they can get a bit of an edge. -------------------- Gettin old ain't fer sissies! locksley Quote I still like my old flint-lock and side caplock rifles. I have tried some of those pellets though. -------------------- To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;"The greatest pain a man can suffer is to have knowledge of much, and power over nothing" - Herodotus OLD TIMER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rifles that use smokeless powder are-by any reasonable definition-modern rifles. It has always been the intent of ML season to exclude modern rifles. If one brand of modern rifle is allowed,it makes no sence to exclude the rest of them. If modern rifles are allowed it would no longer be ML season would it? I've got several modern rifles in the gun rack.Any of them could be loaded from the muzzle.Unless I screwed up and damaged the bullet during the loading process there is no reason to believe that any of them would lose a bit of their range or accuracy.Does this make them ML's? Does a .300 Wby. mag. ML sound right to you? DEER ASSASSIN- As far as loading ML's goes,I care and you and anyone else who's interested in seeing ML season continue should also.I'm not altogether sure why you would want to,but if you really want to use smokeless powder in your treestand and binocs. I don't see where anyone would have a problem with it. TiminTn- Tech.(high or low)does not determine weather or not a deer will die when you pull the trigger.What really makes a deference is how well the shooter knows his abilities and equipment,and how willing he is to pass up shots that he is not sure he can make.I would surely hate for you to be disappointed so please be advised that I have been hunting with ML's since about '71,cannot recall right offhand ever having missed a season(although I guess such is posible due to illness or some such),and-to the very best of my knowledge-have never shot a deer that I failed to recover.Thus far I've never used anything other than patched roundball and loose powder(black or pyrodex).Sure am glad that nobody told the deer that they couldn't posibly be killed by such a pitiful load!I'm sure you haven't ever lost a deer you'd shot. -------------------- Gettin old ain't fer sissies!
