There doesn't seem to be a 'black powder' topic for me to post this in, but I figured hunters would know better than anyone.
I'm borrowing my grandpa's Hawken Investarms black powder muzzle loader to see if I can 'Davie Crockett' a deer this year. It's one of the build kit type rifles with wood furniture that are made to look like something from the 1800's, so I'm wondering if it's still safe to use White Hots in it. I know White Hots are SUPPOSED to be safe in black powder rifles, but I wonder if this gun would be different or not.
There's nothing wrong with it, it still looks brand new. No rust or anything.
