    I did like Brett Sr. and installed the gm .40 andvery happy I did. I started with a misused t/c kit gun and ended up with a fine rifle for about $210.00. I still used the JB bore paste on my barrel as sharp edges were cutting tight patches. Good luck with your rifle!

    long range muzzle loader

    :grin: Two good points there. Thanks I will try to varify the nipple location. And since my right sholder is getting more touchy about recoil, maybe I could cut a hook and add a thin pad.

And its just one of thoes things I need to do. After all it is a muzzle loader! no differnt then my round ball gun. It...

    long range muzzle loader

    I have wanted to make a long range muzzle loader out of my .54 renagade, for the last 3 years. Well I have a birethday coming up and this seems to be the time. My thoughts right now call for a 34" Green Mountain .45 1 : 18 twist barrel and a TOTW breach plug. Also I found on the TOTW site...

    Red or Blue ticking

    I have both red & blue, washed & air dried. The blue mic's .014 / .016 while the red checked in @ .016 / .018. My .40 cal likes the blue and a .395 ball.

    Whats so great about real black powder?

    :grin: Simply put, with a real round ball barrel & patched round ball you can't beat real black powder. I have tried them all and I am still shooting Goex 3f. However: of all I tried Triple 7 was the best. 25 gr. of that stuff will do 1" @ 25 yards and in my book that is good enough for Mr...

    Oh so many choises

    :grin: I have not shot anything yet with a 54, but judging from what it does to steel plates @ 100 yards I would feel safe any where.

    new IBS 40 cal

    :grin: Well lets mix this up a bit! This afternoon the weather cleared up and I tried my new Hornady .395's with .015 lubed patch. I started @ 50 gr. of Goex 3f. I shot 3 plinking shots to establish a normal state of fouling, semi cleaning between shots as is my normal routine. FPS don't know or...

    Thanks John L., I just picked up my .395's today but the wind is blowing like 60 mph gust and rain for tomorrow. But I will give them a try asap. I'll try to get some .400,s to try.

    Its working!

    1:48 like java man said. I still think I would use a larger cal. for deer and the like. 50 & up we owe it to them. I tried the postal shoot last night. Shoot the X from sticks @ 100 yards. All I can say is I will try again tomorrow. I don't think a 4 inch group will cut it. I hope the rest of...

    new IBS 40 cal

    Thanks Kenny Cooper! I called the # in my GMinstruction booklet and asked what max load was for the 40 and a nice lady replied 120 max. :grin: You know I think that 120 would fill half my barrel. Your load sounds sweet and I will try it tonight!

    new IBS 40 cal

    Well I got a good one. I will not bore you with stories till I have photos. You will have to trust me when I say this is a whole new level of black powder shooting. Goex 3f burns much cleaner in the 40 then it ever did in my 50 or 54 cals. I started with 40 gr. of Goex 3f, .389 ball & .015...
