    Bull Barreled Smokeless .45 Opinions

    hey ridgeviewer, well you have gotten some good answers here, the thing you have to remember is that you need a little longer barrel to achieve higher velocities witha given powder and bullet or bullet/sabot. because of bullet -bullet sabot jump in the muzzleloader barrel we have to compensate...

    Chamber in a muzzleloader

    the length of the powder column does not seem to be a factor in effecient burn, all though it might take up too much room in the barrel on really heavy loads. 2 things are occuring in the cartridge gun that dont happen in the modern smokeless muzzleloader or any muzzleloader for that matter. 1)...

    sabotless .40 caliber versus .375

    jims the problem with the .375 cal. is there is no standard barrel for sabotless shooting. the 9.3 mm barrel will work for a .35 cal. you could have a special size barrel made but it would be expensive. but the .375 cal. would be my choice too. sb

    Electrical ignition

    mmm i have to disagree with you rb, blackpowder and any gun powder is anaerobic. patassium nitrate is the oxygen source in blackpowder, not sure what it is in pyrodex or tripple 7. blackpowder cartridges are loaded to 100% powder density for maximum burn efficency especially with fff powder...

    .38 caliber muzzleloader

    never had a muzzleloader checked by odnr but it does say .38 cal. or larger. but they do not specify about sub calibre bullet size. so we can shoot any size bullet in a minimum .38 calibre barrel. so you could have a .375 barrel and if someone would make sabots, you could shoot .35 or .323-(8mm)...
