[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1212120, member: 33046"] Ya know, there's always some idiot that will push the limits of just about anything and everything. In this case, some "gun smith" pushed the limit well beyond what the rifle manufacturer [U]explicitly states [/U]you [B]SHOULD NEVER DO[/B]. Because some "gun smith" states he tested it, DOES NOT mean using any amount of smokeless propellant in a firearm specifically designed for BP or BPS is safe. There's no published data for smokeless in a RU and I'm quite certain the "gun smith" isn't publishing his data either. [I]"He has pressure tested the barrel to its bursting point..." [/I] At what pressure did the barrel burst????? Will each barrel Remington installs on a RU withstand that same pressure? Where's his published data? Its only a matter of time before someone will read things like this and believe that using smokeless propellant in a rifle explicitly designed for BP or BPS and end up injuring themselves, someone else, or worse. 'Well I read it on the internet'..... yeah, we know how many of those results end. My advice......... follow the rifle manufacturer's directions and read all the warnings. Personally, I've seen enough and certainly read enough about injuries shooters have sustained because they didn't follow directions, procedures and warnings. [/QUOTE]
