I know it sure cuts down on cleaning time, and I only use 100gr of it in all mine. I like Knight muzzleloader's and they all shoot it rather well.

Mazter I think this guy is talking about real "Smokeless Powder"
not 777 there is a Savage MuzzleLoader that allows you to use the Same powder you put in a cartridge when you reload.
The only disadvantage to the Savage that uses Smokeless that I can think of is it falls under the same regulations that a modern rifle falls under as far as FFL regulations. It is not like a true Black Powder gun that can be mail ordered and purchased without a BG check
The biggest advantage is that it can be loaded to velocities beyond that of a traditional or inline BlackPowder rifle. You can get better accuracy and longer range that you can with the typical inline
