    Muzzleloader wont fire.

    I jumped right on the pattering board. I shot 4 times and had one snap. But it fired the 2nd cap. I agree I need better powder no question. But at this time I have what I have. No hope of having any delivered because of heavy ice on my driveway. So I’ll order some before Turkey time. If at all...

    Muzzleloader wont fire.

    We got him treed now boys LOL. I had all but gave up then i thought i'm going to give it a good soaking. So i set the barrel on a tilt breach lower. And sprayed a good bit of PB Blaster in it. After it soaked for about a hour. I cut a piece of weed eater string and started to digging around...

    Muzzleloader wont fire.

    Ok first it failed to fire with 60 grs 3 times. Thats pulling the shot and dumping the powder cleaning the gun and repeating. Then it failed with 60 grs of RS. Fast forward to shooting 20 grs with a patch. I tried the RS in my GM i had a dud. Loaded it with 20gs of 777 and a wonderwad and it...

    Muzzleloader wont fire.

    I have been using Muzzleloaders for years. But i'm up against it lol. I have cleaned and dried the barrel several times. I used a pic to clear the flash hole even ran a .243 brass brush and could fill the brush and pic rubbing. I can see and blow through the nipple. I can blow through the...

    Wood Butt Plate

    I never meant to come across as it can't happen. Its just i think that big toe without protection is begging to get broke. I get that and agree. But my stock don't have that and i know to be careful, that i am 100% of the time with any gun. And it's not as common as crap i loaded a ball without...

    Caplock squirrels

    Very nice, i have squirrel hunted my hole life with just about everything but a Muzzleloader. I have shot a few while deer hunting, but never walked out the door with a Muzzleloader going Squirrel hunting with one. I need to do that :).

    DUDE, SMOKED HIM!!!???

    I feel that excitement inside but that's where i keep it. And it's not so much i killed as i outsmarted a deer i was hunting. Over the years i try and hunt the biggest Buck on the property i can hunt. And it's for meat not just horns. And i'm always thankful for the experience of the hunt.

    Wood Butt Plate

    I got into making traditional bows. Not sure that's technically correct as they was of my own design. And i changed it with each bow i made (total of 3 LOL). Once i had one i really liked. I decided to build a nicer one so i chose Wenge and blood wood as a lam to strengthen the riser. My hurt...

    Wood Butt Plate

    Will thank you Kevin. I think i will do just that. I reworker the wood but plate and some of the stock yesterday. And i ordered some brass to cover the Wenge i plan on aging to take the shine off (maybe). I'm still debating on reinforcing the butt plate internally. If not once i'm satisfied...

    Wood Butt Plate

    Don't have a horse :). Here’s a stock I made all 20 ish years ago for a encore muzzleloader. I sold the barrel but loaded that barrel and time or two :). It’s just a pice of blood wood glued on with a grind to fit recoil pad. I have been hunting with rifles and shotguns for at least 50 years...

    Wood Butt Plate

    I had this rifle in 54 cal for a short time. Then bought a GM roundball barrel some 25 years ago. And i don't ever remember loading it without the stock resting on my boot. My thinking was and still is i'm going to hunt when it's muddy and the range has gravel around the benches. So i just...

    Yes i saw a pic of rawhide used with nails. I also recall T/C made a ML stock with a rubber recoil pad. Maybe these were reinforced with some type of metal. Might be a dumb question but just how would the stock get damaged.
