This started in another thread, so I decided to start a new one.
Basically, I have a good friend that has developed load data for smokeless powder. Over the last 5 years, and 1000's of rounds, he has come up with safe loads, specifically for 209 primer type muzzle loaders. He also builds The Ultimate Muzzleloader, which is a beast.
He also holds a patent on a type of pre-packaged load which is kind of like the old recoiless rifle cartridges, but for 50 caliber ML.
Below is a link to some references. Let me know if there are any questions. The data is not free, but if you are wanting more out of your ML, and want a rust free barrel this is a great way.

I have shot it several times, I call it "the destroyer". It shot through Ar500 sheet at 50 yards. I included a video in which he quotes 3000 fps, but that was really the low average in testing. I have been there at 3500 FPS, countless times. He does build them and sell them to customers. A close friend of mine. We shoot these all the time. I have a Tradition buckstalker I use smokeless, just so I dont have to clean it.
Not really, it is a pressure game, that is all. Shooting a gun is dangerous, not different than double charging a reload. Below, I am going to list a few references. If you are interested.
Low Pressure 50 Caliber Smokeless Loads in a 209 Factory Muzzleloader, 2 DVD set | eBay
Savage Arms proved over 20 years ago that a factory muzzleloader can use smokeless powder. A retired Science Teacher/Gunsmith/Inventor used a strain gauge glued to a rifle barrel and the Pressure Trace II computer interface to compare the pressures produced by Blackhorn209 propellant to...www.ebay.com

If you are into muzzleloading, this info a data is excellent, and no more corrosive powder, or rusted barrels.
