I was thinking (dangerous) the other day and was wondering if anyone had worked up some Nitro for black loads for modern day muzzle loaders, I have a .45 thompson and a 058 Dixie made in Japan. These are modern steel guns and as I have worked up a good load for my Stephen Grant 500 express, I got to thinking it might be possible to do this with a muzzle loader. I was thinking patched round ball to start with and look at the case size of say a 450 express, figure out a powder charge add say 2 inches of dacron filler and make up a ramrod with a flat brass stop that would allow you to set the projectile at the right length. Any thoughts would be appreciated, Percu8ssion of course
