Nite Ryder I never will..

Just to clarify if you read my post I said I never will do this.

I only seek the knowledge of why it "can't" be done in a safe way. I did kind of find my answer by calling a few powder companies. Seem as if Smokeless powder when it is "detonated" (their wording not mine) produces a massive pressure spike before it levels out and lower grade BP intended steal barrel can't take it. It will first blow out nipples and breech plugs and then if you’re stupid enough to keep strengthening the weak points as you proceed it will burst the barrels and probably kill ya. They did however tell me if you build a muzzleloader (in-line so no nipple to blow out) out of gun barrel steel and a strong enough CLOSED action you can do it with no problem just like savage did. I am not setup to do such a thing so again I would never do it nor would I want to. Well maybe I would LOVE to be able to because I could cash in on the $$$ millions Savage is pulling down but….. Besides I love the smell and simplicity of BP and that is why I won’t even buy the savage.
