    First post, maybe some advice?

    That's what I think also. I have a .451 1:20 barrel on order from Rice, but I'll only see that around Christmas. In the meantime it's a .50 with a 1:48 twist. Not fast enough to stabe anything longer than pistol bullets, I'm guessin'. I plan on going to test the difference on Sunday. If all...

    So..... why a muzzleloading?

    I got into muzzleloaders primarily because of ascetics. I got a thing for long, sleek rifles. My first rifle was an 1891 Argentine Mauser. My dad bought it at a surplus store back in the '50's for less'n a gallon of gas today. I killed my first antelope with it aged 14, an' nagged my dad into an...

    New from MO.

    Heard that. Got a passel o' revolvers argufyin' over the last twenty-three caps in a CCI can. I just restored a Frontier and went flintlock there. It's a different league, but at least I still make smoke.

    First post, maybe some advice?

    I been messin' with black powder since childhood. Built a dam across the creek so I could blow it up. It was not a stealthy operation, so my father found out when he heard it explode 150 yds from the house an' saw an enormous cloud of smoke. That was 1982, an' I still feel the thin end of the...
