That is good to hear. When you see Frank tell him I said hi. I haven't seen him since I attended VSP academy with him in 1970. He graduated first in the class, me second. I've often thought about him. Mike Gibbs.

Thanks!Typically round balls shoot best. 3F black powder and percussion(#11) caps(try to purchase locally); adjustable powder measure; some sort of flask to carry powder; 'possibles' bag to carry all the 'stuff'; patches or patch material. Thicknesses vary and finding the right combination is the 'challenge'. Track of The Wolf (dot com) is probably the best source. Check U-Tube for informative, how to videos.

I live in NoVa, Fairfax County. (I know, it’s not REAL Virginia. I consider it Occupied Territory and I’m behind enemy lines). I’m familiar with Clark Bros in Warrenton and Green Top. Can’t wait to get back to both to see what they got! I’ll take any advice you can spare.

Thank you. I hunt down in Page County and pass through Winchester now and again. Looks like I’ll be coming out to look for powder & supplies!
Welcome aboard, Andy. I’m down between Richmond and Williamsburg. The Olde Virginia Primitive Riflemen are having our 40th anniversary fall rendezvous in October- be a good time to meet some fellow shooters and maybe put that rifle through her paces.

Welcome from East Anglia, UK. Sadly, it appears that there is no muzzleloader that legally complies with the utter mess that is deer shooting here in UK. But I enjoy reading about the exploits of those who CAN do it.
