    7F Powder

    I have been using 7f powder for a couple of years with no complaints but I got to talking to a couple of the shooters on the international team at Friendship. They use Swiss OA priming powder. They let me try some and it is noticably faster than my 7f which I thought was fast. The hang up is...

    Navy Arms Service

    You had better luck than I had with them. I needed a new sear for the right lock on my double gun. I E mailed them twice with no answer. I finaly took it to a gunsmith he ordered the part and it took two months to get. Cost me $50 more than it should have because I could have done the repair...

    Chinese powder

    I have been using chiese powder for a couple of years. I find that it is a little bit dirtier than Elefant & Goex but not that much. Alot of the shotgunners at Friendship use it. I also use it in my .40 cal rifle. I found out that I can use 2f Chineese in my rifle but I cant using Goex or...

    Shopping for a pistol

    Deer Creeks pistol kits are okay if you are looking for something to play with. If you are looking for a gun to shoot copetively or interested in accracy I would look else where. The lock is the same one that Traditions uses in there guns at least I took the one out of my pistol and it fit in...

    Frizzen Problem

    Rebal I had one of those tower pistols a few years ago. I bought it for $20.00. I had the same problem that you have. I had a neighbor who has a torch heat it to cherry red and quinch it in water and that helped but still not a real good sparker. The frizzen spring was real heavy too. I...

    Dealing with shotgun misfires

    I have only had to pull a load once on my shotgun. I just used my ball puller for my rifle. Pulled the over shot card dumped the shot then drilled my ball puller through the cushion wad into the nitro card and pulled that. I didnt have to worry about the powder since it was in the other...

    My sons bird hunt

    First steps with a smoothbore!

    Great story. I can almost see myself in that pictuer. I had the same problems with squirrel when I started with my Muzzle loading shotgun. You might up your shot size. I shoot a size larger in my muzzleloader than I do with my modern guns. This is because of the lower velocity a sise larger...
