    not shooting

    Wore out three knee caps and a pair of boots stomping out a fire I started in CA hunting pigs on our ranch in my youth. Needless to say, my BP hunting was a spring time green grass adventure after that.

    Conical Terminal Performance Research

    Didn't use it as I only shot their 54 cal. But given the variance of bore sizes, it would be a cheap investment to make sure you are getting something that fits like you want.

    Percussion cleaning help

    Traditions/cva breeches could stand a little special attention when cleaning. I use a steam cleaner down the nipple threads to blow out any crud that is still resident I lightly oil with a clp, then prior to using I do what Ed C. recommends above, except I pop one cap before loading. Here is...

    Question on tightning breech plug.

    Hmmm, I did all mine with a file, square and wrench following those instructions. No lathe. BTW: Sorry for sharing something that isn't mine to share, but I found it so easy to follow I just didn't think that it should be too hard for most anyone. Here is before the finishing filing on the...

    Question on tightning breech plug.

    Below are pictures and instructions he provided and I followed those to the letter and the plug installed nicely Next two photographs show approximate window I want with both both surfaces (bottom of plug and face) ‘perfectly’ matched and what I call a partial torque or almost tight enough...

    Here are instructions provided me by @SDSmlf that he borrowed from somewhere. I followed them and installed a breechplug in my T/C BREECH PLUG INSTALLATION Your safety, and the safety of the future users of your gun, depend on your correct fitting of the plug. Take time, use care, and follow...

    .54 Lyman Great Plains Rifle Review

    You can increase your odds by using the appropriate equipment and loads for your conditions was my point, but as in combat, your plan only remains rock solid until first contact, then you improvise. Prior planning prevents pee poor performance, but flexibility is the key to success.

    Well said. I have read all those books. There are great bits of information. Dogma comes oft times from EXPERIENCE, sometimes from repeated word of mouth and most times from some experience (that hasn't been or can't be repeated) that is shared and repeated so often via word of mouth that it...

    .54 Lyman Great Plains Rifle Review

    I do not doubt your experience, at all. The comment was more about the accuracy he said he was getting (6" group at 100 yards) That is a little sketchy for me for the size of a whitetail vitals....4" or less would make me more comfortable. As for the killing potential of RB. Extremely...

    Having lived in Europe while serving as an attaché and some associated duties , mostly in Spain and being Basque, I look and sound like a Spaniard when speaking and I made sure my dress and mannerism reflected where I lived. I used to have to brief incoming attachés and my bit of advice was "Be...

    Rapid young female speech is purely chromosomal. They all talk like that. Doctor's offices employ many of that species and when they call and leave messages, I thank God for caller ID so I can 1. find out who called 2. get the information they were trying to leave me.

    Well done. I like purpose driven hunting guns and you have obviously set this gun up for your particular hunts and conditions. I try to do the same. I have a pair of 50 cal 21" fast twist Ardesa carbines I want to shoot the Hornady 385 gr GP out of for deer. Hopefully I will get a chance to...
