    Does anyone make a smokeless powder capable muzzleloader nowadays like the now discontinued Savage 10ML II? I know there are a few makers that are pretty proud of their rifles by the price tag hanging on them but I really don't feel like refinancing my house to buy one. Looking on Gunbroker for the Savages is a little pricey as well, but I figure that supply/demand has the prices at the point ther are at.

    Wow gun-brokers wacked, If I new you were looking I could have pointed you to one for 400.00
    It was a MLII blued. My buddy bought it and didn't like the tedious load measurement. I see them around my way for sale occasionally.
    When I bought mine the store owner told me they were popular for guys who travel across the border to Canada for hunting. Maybe that's why they're so high, wow.
    I think I may have paid about 450 ish plus for mine with an extra breech plug and a handful of vent liners about 10 years ago.
    I only bought it to get away from post shot maintenance when I traveled back to deer hunt for a few years.
    It made all my other BP hunting rifles dust collectors unless I want to get all eclectic.
    Heavy as a club though and unwieldy but the bee's knees for deer hunting in a field.

    So I'm guessing your buddy already shed himself of it?

    Yep, I will stick with pouring warm water down the barrel of a break open inline at those prices.

    easiest solution to black powder.

    I hunt in a shotgun only county so this is my deer gun. The cva conversions can be done for pretty cheap.

    Your donor muzzleloader could equally be your Deer Gun" in SG only County for $0.00 addiitional expense.

    Hartford County is shotgun only also, I don't own a rifled barrel shotgun so I use my Savage muzzle loader for all gun seasons. Hence the Nom de Plume

    It worked well this morning.

    Doesn't the new suppressed muzzleloader use smokeless?

    Silencerco Maxim 50?
    Absolutely not.
    uses BP substitutes. BH209 recommended.
    I have used BH209 in my inline and sidelocks (duplexing with 15g 2F BP)
    it definitely burns cleaner and less smoke.

    I have a ML-II also. Was looking at that sight looking for a spare breech plug and ventliners when I came across that page.

    Every once in a while Ill see some of the accessory kits come up for sale. I guess some retailers put them up from excess stock that didn't sell with the rifles.
    Keefer's in Pine grove Pa had a ton of that stuff in his shop at one time. Maybe he still does if you need some spares.
