Smokless Muzzleloading barrel for NEF Handi
« on: January 11, 2011, 06:21:52 AM »
I was on the web and came across a site that was selling smokeless powder barrels for the Handi. The barrel didn't look any different than a standard barrel with the modified breach plug that some of you have. They also had a price of $350 to install one,  Ouch!!!! Has anyone got one? and how do you like it. I know that some have converted a 45-70 to a muzzle loader. Just wonder why a 50cal muzzle loader could be made smokless?  Zeak

Barrel steel is the big difference, blackpowder pressures are low in comparison to smokeless load pressures, using smokeless powder in a blackpowder barrel would be foolish, that's how ignorant people get killed.  Use the search for SMI, select just this forum, lots of discussions on their barrels.
