I know you ain’t supposed to attempt loading a ML with smokeless. However I want to understand why.
So my thought process is,
If you can take a black powder era 45/70 trapdoor, and reload it safely with smokeless, why can’t you load a similar load in a muzzleloader. Course you would have to not seat the bullet against the powder. So if you could figure a way to have consistent seating depth then could you load at 13,000 psi for example and be safe?
Im interested as to why not, and if there is any articles about it anyone could direct me to.
