    cold start in PA

    Jealous also of the amount of public land other states offer. I have to drive at least six hours to hunt public land with my bow or ml. Heading out Thursday with string stick, but will use ML in national forests here in January.

    GPR social

    I've got older GPR in .54 and a new old stock Cabela Investarms in .54. Older GPR shoots much tighter groups as I've only put down about 50 round balls through the Investarms.

    Dry ball help

    Ty. I'm home now and can't try to shoot it out. I did find my ball puller and am trying to screw it into the roundball. It's stuck real good, but I am getting slivers of lead out, a little at a time. I'll keep at it. Need to clean it as I was at the end of my shooting session when this...

    Dry ball help

    I did a search, but didn't have any luck. I loaded spit patch and roundball in my .54 GPR percussion without powder I think. I shot five times and caps all went off. Got distracted. I don't have a ball puller. How can I get it out? I tried a few grains down nipple but did not work. I know some...

    Thinking of new M/L

    All I can I say, is in the short time I have owned a ML it has been a blessing. Nothing like trying to figure out what load, patch, lube, etc like someone else posted. Also, at the range I see the gleam in people's eyes watching me load and shoot. It's uplifting. I am still breaking in my new...

    Lyman great plains

    I just measured with a caliper the inside of the barrel. My new purchase was .556. My Cabela .54 measured .550. Thank you guys for catching that and the missing clean out screw. This forum is full of great, knowledgable fine fellows. I really wanted a .50 cal to go with my .54, but with all...

    Lyman great plains

    I just took a piece of paper and marked outside to outside on my .54 Cabela Investarm. I also marked inside to inside. It looks like an exact match to the rifle in question. I have a harbor freight close by for a caliper, but it looks like I now own two .54s.

    Land to land at the muzzle I'm assuming is outside edge to outside edge?

    Lyman great plains

    Interesting. Now I'm more confused. One of the Lyman molds that the seller threw in is just marked .54 caliber. Another Lyman bullet mold has the numbers 509133 with 945 underneath. Another Lyman mold is marked 62 cal. The lee mold is .490 roundball, but looks unused. The seller said the gun...
