    The Largest Caliber Muzzleloader?

    One of my shoting buddys has a .75 cal percussion, and a .80 cal flinter. The .80 cal isn't bad to shoot, but the .75 cal percussion kicks like a mule. Both guns are very accurate though. He brings it to a few shoots but some people complain he has an unfair advantage. Then he lets them shoot...

    I have another screw loose...

    Oh don't get me wrong... I'm sure they work great.. Just would hate to have someone get in a hurry loading a second shot and forget the rod in the muzzle while out chasing the great bambi. Not that it's happend to me.. But I know my mind is a buzzing when the chase is on.. :o I'm sure...

    I have another screw loose...

    I agree with Rebel to replace range rods with brass or steel rods and a bore saver for good measure. I also would recomend putting a good sized wooden ball or door knob on the end. This will help in loading and the ability to spot it easier if still in the muzzle. I have seen a couple of rods...

    Older PA Hunter Accuracy Update.

    Just read your old post and thought I'd add my two cents. Looks as if your group is coming arround. However: I might look at a lighter load or heavier patch possibly, it appears your patches are beggining to fray and i wonder if your loosing something there. :imo: I shoot goex fffg 70 grain...

    Questions about Civil War reproduction rifles

    Hey mk434... Glad to hear others finding muskets interesting. I just purchased my first one 4 months back now and it shoots a house of fire! Mine is a 1863 2 band zouave, manufactured by Euro arms, and love how it shoots! I've found that the trigger pulls do vary from gun to gun. I had...

    Casting Balls Pays

    I agree... bigger the ball the bigggger the savings.. I recently started shooting a 58 cal Zouave, and the balls are fairly spendy at $7 to $8 for a box of 50. Yikes Was glad to find a nice lymann mold to start casting my own! Big savings $$$ Not to mention relaxing & satisfying.

    New traditions trapper pistol.

    Glad to hear you got it fixxed. Just purchased a used one from a buddy of mine. After some fine adjustment of sights it seems to shoot very well for a novice pisol shooter as myself. Placed third in my second shooting match with it. Just hope I never need to consult thier service customer...

    Dedicated shooting bag/box

    I have a box for each percussion / flint / and pistol. Seems as if I have to many specialized pieces for each type to fit in one. Also my boxxes are also great loading stands to lean my rifle up to when loading. Having a speacial possibles bag does sound attractive though. I may look into...
