    Best caliber for target shooting

    How would a .40 or .45 cal do for shooting deer say at 100-150 yards, or is that pushing the limit for that caliber? sam

    Traditions Kentucky Flintlock Rifle

    So here's a new one. Anyone here hear of a Hopkins and Allen "Minuteman" rifle? One was offered to me. 15 years old working well with a stiff trigger. 50 cal. Good starting gun? What do you think? Or stick to the Traditions 50 cal Tenessee rifle? sam

    Robert Just a million thanks for taking the time to do this detail. So basically you just pour a measure of blackpowder down the barrel, put a patch and a ball and ram it down. Of course, how do you know it's all the way down. Then put some powder in the flash pan and fire away. Sounds easy...
