Under the heading "General Muzzleloading" ZONIE posted a video made by CVA showing the results of using smokeless powder in a muzzle loaded rifle. As you might expect the results blew up each rifle in the demonstration.
One item which caught my ear was the CVA rep saying NEVER TO USE EITHER 3F OR 4F BLACK POWDER in a muzzle loaded rifle. That strikes me as being counter to all that I have ever read about various loads for a muzzle loader.
I have used 3F powder almost exclusively for over 40 years w/o any problems. The maximum loads are about 70 to 80 grains but mot of the time they are 50 grains. Never used 4F in a rifle. Only used 4F in a percussion revolver.
Has anyone on this site ever heard not using 3F in a rifle? I haven't.
