Ok, I'm sure many of you have issues with smokeless muzzleloader but they are legal here and I hate cleaning so I have a savage and my boys have an SMI barrel on a handirifle frame. Hopefully some of you have one and can help.
After buying the SMI barrel it is apparent they really like 4198. More importantly for me they have some reduced loads for my boys. We had a missfire late last year and I didn't think much of it until a couple of other guys told me they had trouble with that powder as well. Some research lead me to duplex loads or magnum primers. I am hoping magnum primers works but wanted to hear any experiences you guys have.
