Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Smokeless?

I would point out that these rifles do not have to be big heavy barreled pieces . In fact the vast majority were not . It all depends on the type of rifle and match one was shooting in .

While I would agree that the modern rifles do not hold a candle in accuracy , if there is an advantage or not , depends on the rules .
If those rules hold to a common ground then , no , no advantage . But the minute we start accepting . High value telescopic scopes , , smokeless powders , closed ignitions , jacketed bullets , core locks ,���..
Well frankly that�s where we will have to part company .
its simply IMO ,undisputable . If one is looking for accuracy . Be it for hunting or long range , its not going to be found in the modern movement.
But anyway , here are some more photos to add to what dan was saying ..

also if you think that running a patch down the bore of your smokeless gun is cleaning ,, well then ya its faster then Black powder .
but thats not cleaning and you know it .
again BP rifles ARE NOT in the realm of Ronco's set it and forget it . if thats what you want then ha go with a smokeless , muzzle loading rifle or buy a conversion . either way its the same thing . you doing nothing but adapting a breech loading rifle design to muzzle loading .
