If so are they as good as advertised Do not know of the prefits, but I do know of the ones being built in Ashland, Va as complete guns... they are flat out amazing shooters. Like if you can see it out to 1k... take the shot. Something like 120 grain of 4198 (or similar, but don't quote me on that). Big secret in Shotgun, Bow and "Primitive Weapons" counties here in the Commonwealth. Guns I know of are #25+/-... and the shooters are glad of it.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Sorry I can't help. All of my muzzle loaders are smokers.
I am..........disturbed.

A catalytic converter on the end of your barrel will fix you right up! 😁

@ $750-1075 they'd better be. Just about everybody makes good barrels these days.

Do those "transgender" rifles come with a rainbow paint job on the stock? Gay as a drag queen!

I have an Arrowhead smokeless muzzle loader and I bought some parts for it from Jeff Hankins. Luke and Jeff both do nice work and strive for precision. I wouldn't be afraid to deal with either of them.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

Arrow head converted a MGM 45/70 Encore barrel to smokeless for me. Getting 2900 out of a 40 cal 250 grain Hornady in a sabot. You can kill African game with this set up no problem.Not for puzzies.
Its all right to be white!!

I used an early borrowed Arrowhead built on a Savage action on this mule deer. Dialed at 325 yards. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/to68N0X.jpg)

I'd have to look for notes to confirm the speed. I hear ya... When Chris told me I was like "FUGG... I only use 112 grs in my .375 RUM". All I remember is I about flipped out on the load he told me... AND we were drinking.

Just go ahead and shoot your ‘06! Only reason a so-called ML season was started was to generate sporting good sales and having to buy a ML license!
