    Elephant

    What was the date or lot number when they started using the different wood for charcoal? The reason I ask is because I have a few pounds of some newer (2004) Elephant I got from a guy I shoot with (it is in a foil bag)...which is junk. I also have about 15 pounds some older Elephant I bought...

    Elephant

    Well back when I didn't know anything I bought one of those Pedersoli rolling block 'unmentionable' muzzleloaders. I sold it to a guy about two years ago and he is now looking for some black powder to shoot in it. Back in the day I shot the Elephant out of it and it never plugged up like my...

    1 1/2F Swiss

    Yes I have tried 3F swiss in my 50 caliber and I was having problems achiving any type of acceptable accuracy at 100 yards. :hmm: Maybe I should try it again this weekend...good idea! Maybe reduce my load by 10% for starters...thank you

    1 1/2F Swiss

    Yes that is a good idea! I think I will bump the charge from 15 grains to 20 grains and maybe more while looking for accuracy at 50 yards. Thank you!

    1 1/2F Swiss

    I also noticed the fouling in the barrel was considerably reduced between shots, but I did notice that my velocity was reduced...by how much I don't know(I don't own a chrony) Interesting little test I am doing...I am learning quite a bit. Any suggestions?

    Anybody waterfowl with ML's?

    I have and I like it more than duck hunting(the other hunter in the blind don't tease me about making a smoke screen so they can't shoot any birds :rotf: )! Black powder works great on phesants I use 1 1/8oz #5 lead shot over 85 grains of 2F for them. Like I said before I think black powder...

    1 1/2F Swiss

    Hello everyone, I am trying to make things simpler with the different powders I use. When I was at the range last weekend I tried comparing shooting 1 1/2F and 3f Swiss black powder in my 32 caliber muzzleloader. I have a load worked up for it in 3f (15 grains used) but want to try 1 1/2F...

    Anybody waterfowl with ML's?

    I noticed this too when hunting ducks over decoys...and I found out why. It is because black powder doesn't 'shock' the shot in the shot cup when the powder charge fires therefore you get fewer flyers and more consistant shot groups. I guess the black powder more or less 'pushes' the shot cup...

    Anybody waterfowl with ML's?

    Good point...I use steel shot cups too...I just put an over the powder card under the shot cup to keep the powder from melting the plastic shot cup. Works great!
