    Lesson learned

    I use a felt over powder wad in my 54 GPR when I shoot my hunting load of 120gr 2F with a patched RB. I found that anything much over 90gr tended to burn thru the patch and caused poor accuracy.The wad eliminated that. For everyday plinking and small game I use a load of 65 gr of 2F and just a...

    First time shooting my flintlock-- Is it too Slow?

    Hi Happy to see your trying flintlock!! Try a paper clip for cleaning your flash hole. Also I've been told that it isn't the flame that ignites the main charge but the heat from the powder in the pan igniting. If the hole is filled or covered with powder it will actually slow down ignition. I...

    misfires/poor ignition

    First the subs are going to be harder to ignite as they are flammables while real BP is an explosive. Second not only myself but many many other people have found the subs to be very corrosive even after really good cleaning. The stuff gets into the pores of the barrel and pits the hell out of...

    What should I upgrade on my LH Lyman GPR?

    I have had several dealings with Tim at R.E.Davis and can vouch for both his honesty and the quality of the products he sells.On the other hand I don't have one of their triggers on my GPR as I have had no problems with the stock Lyman trigger. If I did have problems I would have no hesitation...

    NOS Great plain rifle

    Its steel. Its metric. Take the barrel into the store, your not doing anything illegal by carrying a gun part into a hardware store. I really doubt that anyone will even know what it is.

    accuracy question

    Please DO NOT use Pyrodex!!!!!I had to replace a barrel because of that stuff. I was told about it and didn't believe it till it happened to me. It seems to be preety common knowledge among the more knowledgeable shooters that P dex sucks!!!Powder inc is a really good company to get real black...

    Finally shot my GPR, some questions.

    After lots of testing I found that 20/10 WSW fluid works just great for the target and plinking loads that I shoot most of the time. There is no need to clean after every shot, actually I can shoot all day and never clean the bore. For my hunting load I use 115gr of Goex 2f and I put a felt...

    using triple seven

    It only took me the cost of replacing one barrel to figure out that the substitute powders just don't work as well as real bp!!! How anything can clean easier than bp I cant understand. just cold water and a couple patches and its done and good to go next time I get the urge to smell real...

    58 Cal. load development

    Since I've been hunting with a longbow for over 20 years it always amazes me when people cant get closer than 100 yards. I'll be hunting elk with my 54 cal GPR this fall since the bow season is during the fall salmon run. I'll still try and get inside 20yards so as not to take the "hunt" out of...

    New GPR

    Whatever you do DO NOT get V/G compound anywhere near your new rifle!!!!!!!!!! Just shooting it and cleaning it properly will give you a barrel that will last longer than you will. ALSO don't even think about pyrodex!!!!!!! It leaves a chemical in the pores of the barrel that cant be got out...
