Never thought that much about "inlines" till I watched a guy sighting one in at the range. Couldn't hit squat till he changed loads and got a 2" group.
I get the muzzleloader season thing. If you're a hunter,cover your chances over a longer period of time. Do it all and throw in a little bow and arrow. More chances of putting meat on the table.
Seems like I heard somewhere that the Savage inlines can be converted to smokeless centerfire?
