MD for once i agree with you on the scope comment.calling 105 rs puny for a 175 yd shot i don't, especially since buffalo were taken at much longer ranges with 60-70 gr BP and a 400 -500 gr bullet lol.

Again i am not anti Bh and i don't want anyone becoming upset with me.but do a little research on BH.all i will say is this,it doesn't smoke anything like lets say RS or 777.

I was thinking earlier. NM offers BOTH a general muzzle loader season " that'd be modern" and then they offer a more restricted traditional season..

Modern season SHOULD allow smokeless powder and what not.

I always felt Colorado should have 2 seasons, one modern muzzy anything goes season and one traditional patched round ball - lead conical - open sight conical season.

I sent my email off to them earlier. They wont be back in office till the 27th.

True but the smoke is added to make it more traditional... same as T7 is died black from its original color of white.

MD it would be nice if those states did, but honestly i don't think it will happen.bottom line BH contains smokeless powder period. and that's what these states are finding out and why i think more will jump on the band wagon.is it good for the sport?" i don't think so".as i stated earlier i looked at Utahs regs, since i had tags for M/L season this past year. and it clearly states no nitrocellulose powder.even though it is classified as a M/L sub powder.this is how the heated arguments started.is it a approved M/L sub according to the feds? yes it has been. but individual states have the right to ban whatever they want.needless to say i didn't get to use my Utah tags,since i retained custody of my son in august and couldn't take him out of school.

Yet some states lists and allows the 45-70 and 35 Whelens as primitive cartridges even though they are loaded with smokless powder???????????? The problem we run into is we have a bunch of pencil necked non-hunting druids making the laws in regards to hunting issues.
