    Northwoods Muzzleloader Camp

    I love hunting big woods too, and cutting a track and stalking all day if the weather is favorable. That said I'm getting older too and can't put in the mileage that I used too and/or drag out the prize like when I was a youth. Grills are great but a big cast iron skillet and dutch oven...

    Idaho Muzzleloader

    Welcome to the forum. PRB or conical will do it with the 54. With either it's more important to be accurate. One conical I didn't see mentioned was the Hornady GP. Those were actually designed for the Thompson barrels. If you consider getting a drop in fast twist barrel for conicals, read...

    bullets for lgp 1-32 twist

    I think he wants to shoot lead conicals which are fine to discuss. I'll mention two that have worked well for me the Hornady Great Plains and the Buffalo Bullet conicals, not sure if the latter are still made. Lyman makes molds for their plains bullets. Two members here Idaho Ron and Idaho...

    WITHDRAWN 50cal. Thompson Center barrel for Renegade

    I believe the tc hawken was available with the 58 barrels also. Might have been a special order item, or from TC custom shop in NH. The TC 1-inch barrels are a 30 second swap from a renegade/hawken

    All-day hunt: What & how do you carry your gear?

    I'll have think about this one. If I am around my house sometimes just 3 speed loaders, a knife and rope. If weather is bad or I'm in big woods a lot more things. The stuff is not all period correct Gun stuff in a pouch, gear and extra clothing in a small backpack. Clothes will depend on...

    I'm a fan of slings. Proper military hold will be more accurate using a sling. And it's a lot easier to drag a deer out of the woods without having to carry your rifle.
