I have handled the TC Triumph and was impressed by the lightweight and the break open action. I won't buy one as being from Massachusetts we can't use a break open muzzleloader during the muzzleloader season. I am not sure if the action would be up to smokeless pressures. The action is made of aluminum. I would question whether or not the pressures of smokeless would be too much .
I may not understand how smokeless muzzleloader barrels are built. However, I don't think the host action strength has much to do with it. The breech plug is locked to the barrel. The only pressure the action sees is a small amount of thrust from the primer. But, I could be wrong
Take care, have fun....
