    Toe Plate on your rifle

    Was this gun made in Greenhill Alabama or in N. Carolina? Thanks for posting 👍 As too the OP like many others have said… I’ve always heard toe plates were installed too protect the buttstock from chipping… I can’t recall them being referred to as kick plates..🤷‍♂️

    Muzzleloaders’s have proven themselves killing for centuries… Ballistics imho, has very little too do with taking a life.. .626 size hole with enough powder too punch through the ribs and into the vitals and it’s game over.. If you get a complete pass through, then your tracking should be...

    What is your choice of shot container for the field?

    I use the turtle bag for my shot, it’ll hold more than enough for a days hunt. I measure the shot load with my powder charger.👍

    Larger Flash Hole

    A # 3 finish nail will go in the flash hole on my rifle & smoothbore.. It’s what I use as a pick when needed.. As far as loss of accuracy caused bye pressure escaping the vent… IMHO, the only possibility this could effect accuracy at the range these weapons were intended too be shot would be...
