    Powder Coated R.E.A.L Bullets

    I do a ton of powdercoating for all my cartridge guns. It's really an amazing, effective form of lubrication. I powdercoat 1 conical for my .40 flintlock, but always lubed them, never tried them dry. Sounds like it's worth looking into.

    TC flintlock hawkin

    Steep for sure, especially if its not unfired in the box. Closer to $500 for flint would be more like it for a nice, clean example.

    Removing the barrel on a hooked breech rifle for cleaning, yes or no??

    The only way I can see removing a hooked breech barrel would be if you were using a reciever sight that stays on the tang seperate from the barrel. Combine that with a sloppy fitting barrel, and POI would probably change a bit. As long as sights and barrel are one unit, it should stay sighted...

    Black Powder Shotguns Are Freaking Sweet!

    Looks great, is it possible you still had oil in the bore/nipples/flash channels? Then not to offend the pyrodex guys, but I would suggest trying some real Black Powder in ffg, or fffg granulation if you can find it. I have never found any substitute powders that were as fast or reliable as the...

    CLOSED .570 lyman roundball mold

    Hi, anybody have a .570 roundball mold by Lyman for sale? I have a lee .575, and .562, and can't get either to work in my Kibler Colonial .58. I'm definantly not interested in the dixie bag molds, pretty much only something with a sprue plate. Thanks

    Buying Used - What Do You Look For?

    Bore condition is #1. A lot of online sellers are either lazy or crooked when it comes to bore descriptions. They say "Can't see the rifling, it's a muzzleloader". I'm a redneck, and even I know about drop in bore lights.

    .32 rifle load

    One other possibility. I had a .32 Traditions deerhunter that shot like manure with every combo I tried. Until I put an overpowder wad in the load, then it shot some outstanding groups. I believe the rifling was sharp, and was cutting patches, the wad offered enough protection to mitigate the...

    .32 rifle load

    I bet it's too much lube on your patches. I saw it myself with a .36 kibler using a thick, heavy patch lube. As soon as I switched to light olive oil, I started getting cloverleafs at 25yd. If it's a rice barrel, there can't be much wrong with it.

    Ordered a Crockett .32

    Pretty darn accurate little rifles. However, you probably saved yourself some trouble by buying it assembled. I did a kit for my son, lets just say mine was apparently boxed up on a friday.

    My son's first muzzleloader deer

    That is a nice story. Great recovery, and good on your boy for being ready when the second opportunity came. That is one nicely expanded bullet.

    Referring to a Smoothbore as a Smoothie

    I don't know about you all, but I've always found being exclusive and generally offensive is the best way to attract new shooters to this sport. At least I found another name for the ignore list.

    Thompson Center Muzzleloaders Pros & Cons

    It's hard to not love TC's. The only criticism's I would say is their current prices, and the number of cracked stocks you find. I have several Hawkens and Renegades, a cherokee,a seneca, new englanders in .50 and 12ga, and a few Green Mountain barrels in .32, .36, .40, .50, .54, and .62...
