    Brass Black

    What about bluing on brass tacks? I have one of the bluing pens and thought about using it to black the brass tacks I just put in. Want the shine off them for deer season.

    New Englander Shotgun

    I envy you! Wish I could find a shotgun barrel for my New Englander. They seem rare as hens teeth.

    Who Hunts Reg Seasons With Their Muzzleloader?

    Can’t wait to walk my New Englander in the nw Wisconsin woods this Nov. It’s a large area with really no pressure. I usually see no one. Last year I got a buck on day 2, which was great but sorta sucked too since I basically just hung out for the next 7 days while the other 2 guys hunted. This...

    Flashcups - worthwhile?

    I’m asking this from the perspective of a hunter. I know a flashcup will protect the barrel and wood over time from burned powder. But as a hunter, even though I’m extremely careful to protect the lock area from wet weather, it seems to me a flashcup is like a funnel and moisture could get into...

    Who Hunts Reg Seasons With Their Muzzleloader?

    Have really enjoyed reading all the replies! I too have hunted many years with a traditional bow, really loving that sweet lightness in my hand. And I love too the alchemy of that witches brew of basic black and lead. I realized many years ago I don’t eat all that much meat so I’m making g it as...

    Who Hunts Reg Seasons With Their Muzzleloader?

    Just curious who hunts traditional during the “regular”season and thoughts? I have for many years and can’t say I’ve felt handi-capped. I do tend to hunt quite remote areas where I rarely see anyone. Not sure how I’d feel about it with heavy hunting pressure? I’ll say I could care less if I...

    Fadala Article on T-C .56 Cal Smoothbore?

    I grew up in western Ma and the .56 TC was my first bp gun. It was quite accurate and I knocked a few deer over with it with no trouble. Like other things I owned in that era I wish I had kept it.

    Two descent size Bucks at my place

    Nice! If I see a buck of that size when I’m hunting I shoot in self defense lest they turn that big, pointy rack at me and charge😁

    Keeping Minie in Barrel

    Excellent advice all! Thank you. I’m going to have to get to the range and test the 2 different size minie’s I have. I obviously don’t want to be spooked I’ll blow my jaw off with an unseated projectile. That Zouave is heavy as a fence post to tote around the way I hunt but would be awesome to...

    Keeping Minie in Barrel

    I have a .58 Zouave I don’t shoot much. I may bring it along as a back-up gun to my .54 rb rifle this fall. It shoots dead on at 50 yards. The Minie’s I shoot are, of course undersized and at least once I noted the ball moved forward, probably when carried muzzle down a bit (and I am conscious...
