[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5775582, member: 16430"] Savage did manufacture a smokeless ml for several years until a disgruntled one of their own set out to destroy the company. The answer to your question is liability. You are basically reloading right in your barrel with NO case volume to worry about. It is easy to double load one. If it's a really light load, it may just bulge the barrel. Double load a hot load and it becomes a pipe bomb with your head and arms wrapped around it. This is why I preach marking your ramrod on a loaded gun. I make my collapsible ramrod to allow 1" of ramrod showing on a loaded gun. First, you have to realistically decide a few things. 1) distances you intend to shoot. 2) do you intend to carry this gun in the woods or just to a shooting house. 3) do you want it to be an all weather gun. 4) will you be using it in a climber.
