Custom in-line smokeless ML's

[richard]

Just a thought.....Since there is an ever increasing number of members getting .40 and .45 custom barrels for their Savages, might it not serve the forum to have a separate forum just for them? The problem I see is this...New shooters visiting the forum or who have just bought a Savage might not be aware that guys are talking about loads for 40 or 45 barrels. Also, they are now no longer "Savage .50 ML's" and that is the present title of this forum. New shooters to the forum only know that Savage make .50 ML's. What has been created is another class of smokeless ML'ers.
Right under or above where you "click" to get on the Savage forum, there could be a spot for "custom smokeless ML's" This way shooters would know there is a difference.

Richard I think you have a great idea!

Doesn't seem like the moderators think so since they have not given and "feed back!" ?

Nearly all the Savage MLs have been modified to some extent. Call it custom rifles or modified Savages. I personally think the suggested change would seperate the forum members into special interest groups and likely one group would not be reading the regular forum questions and helping the new members. There are many going to the smaller caliber barrel and going sabotless but this may just be a temporary trend. I see it simular to duplex loads that is not for everyone. Had I been able to continue shooting the ML I would have stuck with the original cal. and used the sabot. I suspect that some, if not many, states will begin to regulate what is approved as a muzzle loader legal for hunting. I think the moderators will respond to this after they have discussed the pros and cons thoroughly. Ben
