Hello Folks,
Are any of you shooting modern muzzle-loading rifles? I use traditional caplock and flintlock rifles during the special muzzleloading season, but switch to a modern, custom-made smokeless powder rifle for the "regular gun" season. My reason is simple pragmatism; one of my best hunting areas is in a county that does not allow centerfire rifles. My rifle runs 45 cal, 300 gr jacketed bullets at 2700 fps, muzzle velocity. It gives me centerfire performance, and is legal in the restrictive county. I also use various centerfire rifles in other counties.
Anyway, if there is enough interest, I would like to propose a discussion of these interesting rifles. What say?

Take care, Tom
