Now from the get-go lets understand I would never use a modern propellant ( ie: For modern cartridge ammunition) in a muzzleloader, I`m a Black Powder Muzzleloader Shooter Period. My understanding is black Powder has about 1/3rd the power of modern propellants.
When we hear to never use modern propellant in a muzzleloader is it due to the load factor, say putting 100 grains of W760 in a Hawken. You would have to be mad if you think that's going to turn out well.
Or does it also include loads that would be considered normal for a modern firearm, say 35-45 grains of W760 in the same Hawken with a patch and ball.
I have no interest in doing it but would just like some insight as to what testing has been done on the subject and is it generally accepted that rule is for cases where an equivalent load of modern propellant has been used instead of Black Powder.
