    Buckshot loads

    Looking for some information on buckshot loads from those who have actually used it to take deer. I have tons of books and internet sources telling my what I should be using and what might work. I'm looking for practicals; not just theory. Looking for loads, shot sizes etc. The gun is a 10...

    Birds hunting

    Did a hunt a couple of years ago with my 10 gauge Pedersoli double on a pheasant preserve; the guide couldn't believe some of the shots I made........to say he was impressed was an understatement! My load was 85 grains of FFg pushing 1 1/4 oz of #5 bismuth shot (preserve rules were no lead...

    Michigan muzzleloader hunting..

    Too many deer and too few hunters? Brother, not where I hunt! State land anywhere in S.E. Michigan is a cluster, esp. on a weekend. Michigan politicians and special interests HAVE perverted the muzzleloading deer season, but I refuse to let that ruin my experience........I will still be out...

    Finding wasp nests?

    would like to try using some wasp nest material for wadding. Seeing as it is now in the single digits here in MI, I could probably collect some without getting violently stung! Problem is, with all the available state land, finding a nest is most likely hit or miss (probably miss!) Are there...

    NC transport regulations?

    Seeing as how I can no longer find ANY black powder, I would like to keep from having to fire the weapon just to unload it if moving from spot to spot. Every grain of BP is valuable now...............................................

    Goex vs Pyrodex.......POA?

    Thanks for the replies..............I'd love to try Swiss or some other powder, but everywhere I've checked has been out of stock; hopefully with the demise of the GOEX plant and supply chain difficulties, the pyrodex can get me through until I can get some real BP. I don't like pyrodex...

    NC transport regulations?

    Planning a turkey hunting trip for NC next spring. I know that I can hunt turkeys with my muzzleloading shotguns; my question has more to do with transport of firearms. He in MI, a gun is considered "unloaded" and legal to transport if the caps have been removed on a caplock (but a load still...

    Goex vs Pyrodex.......POA?

    Has anyone done any testing with regards to switching from black powder to pyrodex and it changing their point of aim for their load? I picked up a pound of pyrodex RS today ($30......ugh! :rolleyes:) to help stretch my current black powder supply; figured I could use it in my shotguns to break...

    Novelty shooting match suggestions please.

    Necco wafers and animal crackers.........both are small, and both are reactive, and both are biodegradable.

    The GOEX Plant is shutting down

    what is has to do with muzzleloading is this: they (Hodgdon) really don't give a damn about muzzleloading/blackpowder shooters who shoot traditional ( specifically flintlock) firearms; they are basically saying "screw you" to large section of shooters/sportsmen who have bought their products for...

    Which story is most movie worthy?

    wouldn't mind seeing a film on the life of Jim Beckworth.

    The GOEX Plant is shutting down

    Just my 2 cents........... I am extremely P.O.d with Hodgdon right now.........they control about 90% of the smokeless powder market; they bought Dupont, and control the company that makes Ramshot and Accurate powders. They have decided to quit manufacturing SR 4756 and SR 7625 several years...

    I'm back.............

    Hello all; I just "refound" the site................been gone for a while (not sure exactly why; lots of things have happened over the past several years). My previous handle was similar to the one I am using now, but I couldn't figure out what my old password was, and have a new email...
