Yes!! Savage built muzzleloaders specifically for modern rifle powder. There are some conversion barrels to convert certain CVA rifles to smokeless - everything has to be changed. Barrel and breech plug. You cannot use smokeless powder for centerfire rifles in black powder guns - you run the risk of blowing them up.

What I really like about shooting the Savage is not only the extended range that I get, but not having to clean it from the beginning of the season until the season is closed. Heck, I've even left it loaded for about 10 months just to see if there would be any different POI. Not really, POI changed 1" at 100 yds for the first shot, went back to the same POI with the next shot.
