Recently the Board has seen a movement to calibers other than the traditional 50 caliber Savage. With the easy switchover from 50 to 45 and even 40 and 375 we need to make sure that loads listed are CLEARLY designated for a specific caliber!
From now on any load not designated will be assumed to be for the 50 caliber.
Any load not for the 50 MUST state the caliber with the load data.
If it is not listed and it is obvious, then a Moderator will add it if they see it.
If it is not obvious then it may be edited or deleted.
We just don't need someone thinking that a load is safe for their rifle when in fact it is dangerous.

This board is dedicated for helping shooters and is opening new doors with muzzle loading of different calibers. Safety is the number one motto often reflected here and now endorsed by consciences moderators/administrators with this policy of listed loads for a given caliber.
Thanks for trying to ensure we read success stories and not tragic ones on this board.
Ed

Also one should keep on mind that ALL load data other then the Savage recommended loads are used at ones own risk.

Hi to all
Any one have an idea on how fast would 55 gr of Imr 4198
give a 195 barnes with a light blue sabot and wonder wad.
My Rifle is a SMI 45 with a 25 in. barrel , this load is great
in my rifle.
Have shot it with out sabots but I like the lighter recoil
of the 195's.
