I own 3 .45-70s, a vintage 1895 Marlin, a 1874 Sharps, and a Ruger #3. I hate the 7mm-08 having owned several.

SC primataive states that a rifle must be .36 cal or larger, have a 1/8" apature sight (no scope), use black powder (any non nitrocellulouse) and may use any ignition system.
Folks around here have gotten to calling it muzzleloader season but the truth in the way the law is written is that a Marln lever action in 375, 444 or 45-70 with a williams peep is legal if you load it with 777 or pyrodex.
The DNR book reads only this
Quote
3.2 For Special Primitive Weapons Seasons, primitive weapons include bow and arrow, crossbow and muzzle-loading shotguns and rifles (.36 caliber or larger) with open or peep sights or scopes, which use black powder or a black powder substitute that does not contain nitro-cellulose or nitro-glycerin components as the propellant charge; there are no restrictions on ignition systems (e.g. Flintstone, percussion cap, shotgun primer, disk, electronic, etc.).

but the state law reads this way
Quote
South Carolina Code > Title 50 > Chapter 11 > � 50-11-45 - Certain rifle defined as primitive weapon


In addition to weapons defined as primitive weapons by statute or regulation, a rifle, .36 caliber or larger, which uses black powder only as its propellant charge and which has a one-eighth inch nonmagnified peep site on the rear of the barrel, is a primitive weapon.


The way that DNR phrases it is that its muzzleloaders only, but the statye statute which would hold authority over the DNR regulation makes no mention of muzzleloader.
