Savage has a muzzleloader that can use smokless powder (which has been out for at least a year or so.)
It appears that some muzzleloading hunters are vehemently opposed to the concept of using smokless powders in muzzleloaders for hunting. Why?
The concept of muzzleloading hunting is still the same: you have to load from the muzzle, and you get one shot. Who cares what kind of powder you use? Plus, from what I understand, blackpowder is corrosive while smokeless is not (and I hear that blackpowder has more of foul smell to it.)
What is all of the controversy about? What's wrong with using smokless powders in muzzleloaders for hunting?
