    smooth bore how accurate

    Hey Firemaker- great to see your interest in other types of guns! I've got one guy on our SWAT team that is getting into modern muzzleloading- I took my 20ga fowler and my Charleville in one night and let him shoot it up. I'm trying to convince him to ditch the in-line and go traditional. The...

    MilitaryHeritage.com gun quality

    I'm looking for a couple of Brown Bess' at an inexpensive price and came across MilitaryHeritage.com (Descriminating General)- they are going to be carried by teenagers in a fife and drum corps and will not be fired (they are for looks only). Has anyone had any experience with guns from this...

    Clenzoil

    I have been using it in my guns for about 7 or 8 years now and it works great. After a full day of reeanacting my Charleville has quite the build up. I run some hot water through it, then use the Clenzoil to clean and oil it. I leave it on all the metal and it really helps to keep out the...

    Swan Shot

    Thanks for all the posts- now let me pose another question: the "Swan Shot" that I have always seen looks like small tear drops. There is some on ebay for auction, and I have also seen it on the Mark Baker video series in reference to hunting. I've not seen it anywhere else, and ran across...

    Blank cartidges

    You can use triangle, or even just a square. If you use a cartridge box you want a section of wood dowel just a bit small than the holes in the box. If you are not using a box, then get a dowel about 5/8" thick, around 6-8 inches in length is good, and start at one side of the triangle or...

    FFFG Powder

    UPS routinely delivers haz-materials. They are one of the largest deliverers of haz-mat's in the country. If they carry under a certain amount they are not required to have a placard on their vehicles.

    Powder horn dye

    I used a powder dye used for maple wood. It mixes with water and is thin- on maple wood it looks great, and for a horn I simply wiped a soaked rag over the horn and it turned the aged yellow. Since its a dye it doesn't wash off. Just a coat or two and I have horns that match a 200 yr old...

    Swan Shot

    I've seen pictures of Swan Shot and understand what it is, but what type of game should it used for and why was it used? Does anyone know of any modern sources of it? :thumbsup:

    First time using Fowler for Pheasant Hunt

    I've thumbed through many pages on this site, and I'm still a bit confused and hopefully someone can help. I'm going on a pheasant hunt and decided to take my Fowler out and use it for its real purpose. I've never used shot in a muzzleloader and need some advice on how to load. I've read...
