    How do you load your muzzleloader?

    When I read just the title, the 16 year old smart alec that still lives inside my head wanted to say "from the muzzle, duh!" :) but I won't say that. :) Like the others above, butt on the ground, rifle between my legs and both hands free.

    shooting tune-up after a lot of years ...

    Yes, I was swabbing, which is new to my shooting. I used to load and shoot until it was difficult to load, then swab. I haven't had time to shoot the Investarms again (the one that did the vertical stringing) as I just got back home from a hunting trip (didn't see any elk) that was too hot the...

    shooting tune-up after a lot of years ...

    Thanks for the tip, @Maven It didn't do the vertical stringing on the first outing, but I pulled the barrel and scrubbed it out between that and the range trip pictured above. Maybe I got sloppy on the reassembly. I'll check the barrel and wedge for fit and wiggle, and shim it up with the...

    G'day, mate! I spent a lot of time on the phone with co-workers in Melbourne before I retired. None were interested in shooting sports tho. Back in the '80s, I got to spend a weekend at a station outside Perth when our Navy ship docked at Fremantle. Absolutely the best place I visited - ever...

    New member checking in

    Hi all, New member checking in from Colorado. I bought a TC Hawkins .50 percussion kit out of high school (1976). Many years later (1990), a co-worker suggested we put in for CO muzzleloader tags for elk and deer, and when we drew tags, I panicked but managed to find all the parts and...
