I have their .45 Paramount--it is amazing in performance and accuracy for a muzzleloader IMO. Looks like they are building on that success with a new 40 cal version that pushes the same concept even further.
I have heard of a few custom smokeless muzzleloaders having been made, I strongly suspect your load/charge weights are very limited--in other words I'd be the kind of person to accidentally not stick to exact tolerances and inadvertently blow myself up. But I don't know, the smokeless muzzleloader has been a grail for a long time, but with my limited understanding of smokeless chracteristics my guess is you have to be VERY careful with what you are doing when using in a muzzleloader.I believe that he said he had the gunsmith - Hankin had the screw in primer unit replaced with a different one. I forgot what type of IMR smokeless powder he was using.
The shooter said it is a 300 yard capable muzzleloader rifle.
I have traditional breech plug ML as well as the new paramount in 45 cal--that is still a phenomenal shooter and well worth getting if .40 isn't legal. I find there really isn't all that much time-saving advantage to the bolt/primer cup thing compared to a "regular" breech plug arrangement, but the difference in performance is striking. Why not ensure better results?I'm just really saying these are no longer primitive firearms.

In Colorado. 40 muzzle loader is legal for deer, pronghorn and bear. Have to use a conical bullet.
