    Unloading a muzzleloader question

    I pick a stump or log or tree knot or such and shoot it out. If no viable targets I shoot the ground. I always like to hunt with a fresh load. It only takes a few minutes to clean anywho.

    Green Horn Question

    Take an egg sinker and put a bolt through it (don't forget the nut) Pound it in the muzzle and pull it out. Measure and subtract for the patch and give that size a go :thumbsup:

    advantages for using an over powder card

    The only reason I use it is I had a coned 40 that was pure joy to load. Rice bbls shoot very good coned. I let that one go - old story shoud've kept it. I now shoot a 40 and 54 getz bbl'd rifles that are not coned. They will shoot as good with thin patches and wadding as a tight patch. I really...

    advantages for using an over powder card

    Try it and see if it works. I use a felt in my 54 for an easier loading combo and it works as intended. Lets me use a little thinner patch.

    Next rifle--.32,36,40???

    There are a lot of 40 cal questions on various sites over the years. Almost without exception all the negatives come from people who have never owned one or fired one.

    Next rifle--.32,36,40???

    Budget is everything. Small budget = factory 32 or 36 Italian or TC and such Larger = Pick a school and go A wgt 40 Even a swamped 44" is nice and light if made right. Bucks Co. rifles are very trim if made right. I'm partial to 40's and 54's they'll cover everthing I want to do.

    Mowery??

    I picked up a finished 12ga and an unfinished rifle kit. Going to be my next step closer to doing a kit in full. Have refinished a few guns and now will go a little deeper into the pool this time - If I can do even an OK job I may have the nads to make a go at one from scratch. I guess it's...
