I found 60 grains to be just right at 50 yards for paper. Next step for me is .018 pillow ticking & .495 balls. And I...

    "used" Hawken

    Good day all....I bought "used" T/C Hawken, .50 cal. I could barely keep it on paper. This is my first muzzle loader, so everything for me is trial & error.

    Pistol loading stands

    Hi all...I was at a pistol match today. First one I have been to. Just about everyone there had a large pistol loading stand. Not revolver stand, but pistol stand. Anyone know where I might find one ? Thanks, Jack
