Loved it, but want to do just a hunt were I do not have to worry about 25 other guys over three to four weeks. Just trying to find some guys how enjoy hunting and burning...

    Guys, I am not looking for hunting spots, areas, etc. Just looking to plan a Elk, Caribou, or some other hunt with fellow powder burners. Heck maybe even a public land deer hunt. Aim small, miss small...

    IL BP Hunters

    Was wondering how many folks on the site are actual hunters here in Illinois? Do any of you do any other hunting, meaning Elk, etc.? Do any of you get together and try and do a hunt a year or every other year? Would like to get to know some folks, and burn some powder. I am NE IL. Aim small...

    Cleaning a custom rifle?

    Thanks again NCHawkeye. This is what I will do. I hate to think that I might of had to take this thing apart to clean. I shoot a lot, so if I do this after every shooting day, I believe it will be fine. I just like to continue what I do at home or range to the hunting camp also. Toothpicks...

    Cleaning a custom rifle?

    As I figured as much. Is this enough at home to? I am trying to keep this as simple as possible, and really do not want to take apart. I will also have a bottle of rubbing alcohol in camp, for cuts, etc. Thanks for the reply. You are right about the tooth pick, it will not take up to much room!

    Cleaning a custom rifle?

    Thanks again to all whom replied. Can I ask, what do you do in a drop camp lets say? When I am on horse back for 5-6 hours to a base camp, you are somewhat limited on weight, not that a lot of what you gents say weigh a lot, but it takes up valuable room for other important items. But there is...

    Charges for a 42" barrel?

    Rifleman I am not worried about getting dirty. I have been shooting for over 25 years now, just wanted to get close to a charge where the powder will burn completly as possible in a 42" barrel. I have a 32" barrel on a Hawken .54 and at 85 grns, it is burnt and somewhat clean. My shoulder does...

    Charges for a 42" barrel?

    Thanks Geo T. I was thinking with that long of a barrel, that the powder would have more time to burn out. Thanks
