    Thank you guys

    The real stuff is hard to find around here. I can find Pyrodex at any Wal-Mart. Just trying to strech out the supply. I don't shoot BP guns all that much, so it wouldn't make sense to buy 10 pounds by mail.

    Thank you guys

    I posted here awhile back, almost 6 months ago, about my flintlock not firing. I was using Pyrodex. I finally found some Goex and boy did it make a difference. I've been putting 10 grains of BP under about 50 to 70 grains of Pyrodex and it has been 100% reliable since. In fact, I feel like I...

    Need help with getting more than 4 shots of my rifle

    I have most of the things that I need. I think I need a good solid cleaning rod, but I can't find one long enough. I believe my barrel is 33", but all the ones I find are 30". I found one once, but it was $60. I'll get a jag and take it to my grandpa, hes got a machine shop and can work...

    Need help with getting more than 4 shots of my rifle

    Well nothing I did really. It was my grandpa's retirement present that I got when he died. I took it out one day loaded it up and shot it. Shot it again. Loaded it up again and handed it my wife and she shot it. The gun went thud and the barrel shot off from the receiver about 3 feet. She...

    Need help with getting more than 4 shots of my rifle

    Thanks for the replies. I'll try a new jag and get some black powder one way or another. I don't shoot it a lot because I can't get that many shots out of it and my other BP gun blew up, so I don't know what I'd do with 5 lbs of black powder. How long does it last? One more thing, how many...

    No Gander Mountain here, but I think there is one up in Cedar Rapids about two hours away. What kind of cleaning jag do you guys recommend? Thank you all for your replies!

    Need help with getting more than 4 shots of my rifle

    Thanks for the replies. I've heard not to use Pyro, but the only reason I've got is because "its not authentic." Thank you for telling me the real reason.

    Need help with getting more than 4 shots of my rifle

    What kind of jag would you recommend and where would I get one? I have a Scheels and a Sportman's Warehouse close; could I get one there?

    Need help with getting more than 4 shots of my rifle

    I bought a Traditions Kentucky rifle a year ago because I wanted a flintlock and enjoy small explosions close to my eye. Anyways, I can't seem to get more than 4 to 5 shots out of it when I go to the range. The first two are 100% reliable, but the next few are touch and go before I have to...
