[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4985340, member: 15365"] That is still a confined space which smokeless powder needs. I cant see how any small amount of even 5744 will create enough pressure with NO BULLET on top of it to burst a barrel. Let alone a Savage book load. Cram enough powder in there...maybe. Some of the really fast pistol powders in book load amounts....maybe but even that is a hell of a "maybe". I would be far more concerned about the 100s of thousands of smokers out there and vendors allowing 3 pellet loads that make 30kpsi with ease. I would be far more concerned about all the novice users not using witness marks. Ive seen tons of burst barrels using subs where the bullet was short started. Far more than i have ever seen from smokeless muzzleloaders. Even the Rem Ultimate is not immune to total failure when someone double loads it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/trUHZFr.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
