Well. He won't be using that hand for awhile.

So smokeless powder is more powerful?

Much more.

 

[Hombre]

I hope he doesn't fondle himself left handed. He'll have to learn to switch hands.:teehee:

 

[JeepInABox]

Give that man a hand.

Owwie...

Alot, say it takes ~100 Grains of BP for a muzzle loader will get you ~1500 FPS.
A modern rifle has ~40-50 Grains of Smokeless and gets up to ~2200-2500 FPS.

Upon reading further info provided in the thread, this appears to be a bad case of user error. The rifle in question is in fact designed to be use with smokeless powder, but a much smaller load is needed.

I think I will watch after I am done eating.

Thats my guess.


He used a prescribed BP loading with SP instead.


This was a bad idea from savage to begin with. They had to of known this would happen sooner or later. Hopefully they dont get sued out of existence. I love my savage.

 

[Rockstar]

it will buff out..

As soon as I read the first post of that thread, thats exactly what I thought. I love shooting BP, but you HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL. More than once I have pulled the ball back out, to make sure I didnt put the powder in twice. A lot of people just want to shoot guns without getting to know them well enough to be safe.

I'm sure somewhere in the manual for that gun it clearly states something regarding this. It's the guy's fault and no one else's.

 

[6boltfreak]

Yes either he didnt read the fact of sp is more explosive than bp and went ahead and put it in or he didnt know the diffrence or didnt read it and just seen POWDER and said fuck it. I am sure there is more than enought people on this site that would be willing to help out a newbie in being safe, and with that said the same falls for others he knew i am sure.

I didn't think muzzleloaders had bolt handles? <Maybe I just am really unfamiliar with the type of rifle.

Why would a muzzleloader have a bolt?

Its an inline. The bolt holds the cap onto the nipple.

Not a bolt for a round, but lots of them have one to insert the primer.

That's why you make a mark on the ram rod.
