Static electricity does not generate heat.

Not my words.

I believe Rice makes a chrome-moly smoothhbore barrel. Special order..

Modern guns are designed to take high pressures.

Cartridge guns use different steel than muzzleloaders. Also the breeches are reinforced and they use slower burning powders.

What you said was that it seems to be a myth. It is far from a myth. I believe we've all read hunting stories about hunters inadvertently plugging their barrels with snow or mud with catastrophic results. You are right, it is not a given that it happens 100% of the time but when it does happen...

W Where is it hitting at 25 yds?

You only need to see a short started barrel blow up once to make you a believer. I've seen barrels bulged and I've seen barrels blow up. To say it doesn't happen is wrong and irresponsible. If you did it with no Ill effects.... Lucky you!

I'm not trying to be a snob but I believe the author of this thread said "TRADITIONAL" That being said everyone starts somewhere.

I think it's dying a slow death. Traditional muzzleloading has become.very expensive for the entry level person who. wants to do traditional stuff. Custom rifles.run 2 to 10k. Custom powder horn 250 bag 250. Then talk about clothes mocs,, tent etc,etc,etc. Hard for young people to get into it.

Maybe a Marble's Game Getter.

Never enough.

If one can't carry a 10 pound rifle in the woods, he probably is not in good enough shape to be in the woods. IMHO. No offense intended to anyone.

It depends on the barrel weight and profile. It's a personal preference.

Yes

The only reason not to do it is if you remove to many threads on the liner. That would make it unsafe.
