Lol, so none of you guys ever shot or had a savage ml10 smokeless bp???
The benefits of using smokeless in a BP is obvious.... when you are going to deer camp for weeks at a time and using pyrodex your bore gets nasty and rusty, fouled rifling. Using smokeless eliminated all of that and keeps the boreclean. I know lots of guys sshooting smokeless in Thompson center encores and never had a issue. I have a savage 10ml and can't distinguish a good difference between it and the new ultimate 700ml.
