Default Muzzle loader with smokeless powder

I'm looking for any good informations on the Savage 10 MLII or Remington Genesis. I would like to get into a muzzle loader, but not overly excited about cleaning it every 3 to 5 rounds.

so use a powder that dont need cleaning every 5 or 6 rounds
american pioneer is one
black gold is another
tripple seven is another
american pioneer is actually grain for grain wth goex black powder
EG 100grn ffg goex black powder
or 100 grns ffg american pioneer gold = the same balistics and its cleaner burning just clean yer gun good before puting it away

Here are a couple of good articles on the topic;

http://www.chuckhawks.com/smokeless_...zleloading.htm

http://www.powderandbow.com/savage2.htm

The Savage 10ML-II is specificly stated to be for use with smokeless powders;

http://www.savagearms.com/muzzleloader_home.htm

The Remington Genesis is described as a magnum action for use with very heavy powder loads (150 grains bp) but doesn't say for 'black powder use only',
