[QUOTE="vonb, post: 5140448, member: 2877"] With smokeless MLs, they are much more sensitive to seating the bullet on the charge due to higher pressures generated. Charges should also be weighed as opposed to measured by volume. Any time I see reports such as the old article above, I wonder what really happened. They do require more attention then traditional BP. If you follow the directions and go with a book charge, I have a hard time seeing them come apart like the article above. I believe it was Toby Bridges that had a falling out with Savage surrounding smokeless MLs. He made it a point to slander Savage on the smokeless ML rifles. Emails and dialog were posted whereby Toby Bridges stated he was out to ruin Savage. I'm not saying to above ML is safe. I would have it checked out. However, look at all sides before forming an opinion. $250 is a steal for that rifle. I've seen them go over $1K. Lastly, check with the folks on Doug's Message Boards: [URL]https://dougsmessageboards.proboards.com/board/23/savage-smokeless-muzzleloading[/URL] They seem to be really knowledgeable on Savage smokeless MLs.
