    Choosing a caliber/barrel for a flintlock

    My only flintlock thus far was a Tennessee in .54 made by Jack Garner. I’m leaning towards Southern style rifles but I am learning to appreciate Pennsylvania and Virginia styles more.

    Choosing a caliber/barrel for a flintlock

    Beautiful deer and rifle both! I'd love to hear a few details about the rifle.

    Muzzleloader phrases out of context

    mill admit I do the same when speaking to my friends who don’t shoot firearms at all. If I say, “muzzleloader,” they’re puzzled. If I say I like “shooting old muskets,” they usually respond with “Cool!”

    Choosing a caliber/barrel for a flintlock

    Thanks! I have a .36 as well, a TC Seneca that I still haven’t fired. Also a little .40 cal that has a Dixie lock and Tennessee styling, but a carbine-length 30-inch barrel. Both cap locks.

    That sounds good; I'm leaning towards a Southern Rifle from Tennessee Valley Muzzleloaders and they use Colerain barrels. I'm thinking with a PRB, it would be best to keep shots under about 75 yards? That shouldn't be an issue; in 45 years afield I've only ever shot two deer at beyond a hundred...

    Choosing a caliber/barrel for a flintlock

    Thanks, Mooman. As far as I know the .45 PRB is legal in all Canadian provinces and territories, and definitely in the ones I would hunt. I do have a .45 that shoots conicals well, a Spanish "Hawken-style" I built from a CVA kit about 1988. However I misss the aesthetic of a longrifle and I...

    Lovely buck and a beautiful rifle! Did you build the gun?
  10. Kilo Charlie

    Choosing a caliber/barrel for a flintlock

    I'm considering having a flint Longrifle built; likely a Tennessee style, 42" barrel. Ideally, I'd like to divest myself of my current rifles and have just the one rifle for plinking, small game, and the possibility of a deer hunt. I'm thinking a .45 cal will fit the bill; I can hunt rabbits and...
