Will Tn. ever allow straight walled cartridges in MZ?

muzzleloader season is for rifles loaded from the muzzle

Not when it was originally enacted and not any more in Tennessee.

Muzzleloading seasons were created when there was just black powder and pyrodex powder

TWRA has allowed those nitrofire guns now.

They do not completely load from the muzzle defeating the purpose of a muzzleloader season.

until the nitrofire guns the only regulation i seen concerning muzzleloaders was the ability to load from the muzzle only. I've never seen a powder requirement

Everyone I know that hunts in MS with a single shot 35 whelen has a scar on their eyebrow. Funniest thing ever.

Had a cva 35w that was accurate but kicked like a mule!
never found scope mounts that worked finally gave up and got rid of it

It should still be that way then (propellant and projectile loaded from the muzzle) if you are going to have a "muzzleloading" season

But the original seasons were not set when smokeless long range scoped muzzleloading rifles were available

I'm confused on why if someone shoots smokeless the thread immediately turns into someone hunting at 10000yds with a muzzleloader? People do the same thing with tss and turkeys. They automatically assume if you're shooting tss you're shooting a turkeys at 200yds.

Lots of guys around here use smokeless and a long shot is 100yds.

I could hunt with my accura mr for all gun and muzzleloader seasons the rest of my days and be just fine as most all my kills are sub 300 yards

I agree with this. My favorite gun to use for whitetail even in gun is my TC Prohunter 50 cal. I love the process of it and let's be honest, you pick your shots better with it knowing you got one chance.

I sincerely hope TWRA does NOT change the muzzleloader season in any way. It's perfect just the way it is.
