The savage is the best muzzleloader i have ever shot. The smokless loads have less recoil than pyrodex and are faster, and at least as accurate. I have around 800 rounds on mine, i mic`ed a new breach plug, there was very little difference in either. Still after reading the warning, i`ll replace it at 1000 rounds, just to be safe. Okay, now for those of you who are curious, yes smokless powder can be fired in a modern inline, like the knight disk, and the TC encore, If you don`t care to lose life or limb. Again, no one says this is safe, but the starter load is 20 grains of hodgden lil`gun with a 225-230 grain bullet and the max is around 31 grains. You must also use MMP high pressure sabots. I have shot hundreds of rounds with no mishaps, but that does`nt mean anything, be careful, and replace the breech plug every 300 rounds or so.
