leave the "old school" behind and buy the Savage 10ML II. These things are superbad[8D] 300yds easy, with cloverleaf accuracy at 100yds. AND,..drum roll please,....they use smokeless powder[8] You don't have to clean them when you get home, since smokeless powder is non-corrosive.
I use 44gr or N110 for speed greater than 150gr pyrodex in other smoke poles.0 -

[/quote i've been thinking about getting one of these fancy pants smokepoles myself, love the fact of not having to clean immediately.. is the accuracy and range the much improved?? go ahead and twist my arm and i'll tell the wife it's your fault when i bring it home[:D]0 -
these things are awesome. The recoil is stout, but the results are phenominal. You can shoot 50rnds without having to clean the barrel[8D] 0 -
Ok this is the deal Boys
I Have a chance to pick it up Reasonable
But The Barrel is Tough inside The Rest is Great shape
Does anyone Know a Website for a Replacement Barrel 50 Cal It is Fluted & Blued Or How Much? I Can't seem to Find Anyplace0 -
personally i wouldn't give 2 cents for all the "modern" muzzle loaders on the market today, i once made traditional Hawkens and Kentucky "Squirrel" rifles that cost over $1,000.00 each they had beautiful wood, inlaid sterling silver and would produce 100 yard groups that would put modern rifles to shame, it is blasphemy to the highest degree to meanieize the muzzle loader sport that loads a rifle from the breech or "factory" made "cartridges".
fact is.., todays "modern muzzle loader" shooters are too damn lazy to learn the traditional way of loading, shooting and cleaning.0 -

The barrel inside is what makes it a shooter...the barrels on those are not replacable...no...do not buy it for even $25.00...you just have a paperweight then!0 -

Just to fill you in a little...seems like I have to keep doing this...
It takes more to clean a modern muzzle loader than it ever did, or does to clean my T/C Hawken. I also love the nastalgic odor of sulfer in the air, with crisp leaves in the fall. There is no difference in the way a muzzle loader loads...the charge goes down the barrel, then the bullet or patched ball on top, then the primer or 209 primer. The only way differences is in the materials, and performance...other than the sabot shooter's have to scrub their butts to get that plastic out of the barrel.

They wil go under 1" quite often at 100yds. I am 2" high at 100yds, and 2" low at 200yds. The savage is a bad animal.0 -
