    Bullet Stuck in TC Hawken. HALP

    Tried the CO2 method on my first stuck ball and it did nothing after 3 cannisters worth! But I'm a newbie so that may be part of the problem.

    After two years finally got to shoot my Baker Rifle

    Fortunately I was the only one at my range, so I could spend a hour debating amount of powder and whether it would blow up if I did it wrong. The two big holes are mine. Only problem is that the .600 balls with the .018 patch proved nearly impossible. Need to get a micrometer. Also ordered...

    TRS Complete Baker Rifles or just kits?

    I ordered my Baker Rifle from The Rifle Shoppe in January of 2019. They no longer assemble, but recommended a gunsmith in Nebraska. Monday I'll get to see the results of his work when it is delivered.

    Learning to swim from the deep end

    I am brand new to muzzle loading. I admit my interest was always stirred by CS Forester, and once I watched the Sharpe's Rifle's series I was hooked. So on Monday I expect delivery of my new Baker Rifle (from the Rifle Shoppe, and assembled by Larry Cruise in Nebraska). I waited two years for...
