    “Grizzly gun”

    I’ve been around grizzers most of my life, even came back to our camp on a remote fly-in trip to find it destroyed as well as been woken to one in the tent. Anyhow the funniest I remember was myself and two buddies fly fishing a coastal river. They were both ahead of my by only about two minutes...

    Expected accuracy with 62 caliber smoothbore?

    My buddy and I both use .575 balls with .025 patching and spit lube in our 20g smoothies (.62 cal). They are quite easy to load. Although I cannot remember the group size at 50 yds, we (mostly he) both do quite well with the trail walk targets (reactive steel plates suspended by chains). In fact...

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    Please excuse my attempt at humor. My post is, of course, referring to a vintage TC Hawken kit gun that someone drilled and tapped for a modern scope. I do not have the experience nor knowledge to assist you in your quest. Walk

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    Sure they were. After all I have a vintage genuine Hawken (says Hawken right on the barrel!!) percussion rifle in .54, which I bought tapped for scope mounts and the hammer spur modified to accommodate. It also has a K serial number. Lol. ;) Walk

    Going Green

    Years ago I shot a few sporting clays with my .54 GM barreled percussion rifle barrel. Never missed a one. Green leaves and 7.5 shot. A couple years ago my girlfriend shot grouse in the foothills of the Rockies using her .50 percussion rifle barrel and .54 wads. Also 7.5 shot. Worked just fine...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Did the trail walk at our local club again today. Just my self and my girlfriend. She outshot me, dropping only four targets in total with her Traditions .50 Hawken Woodsman percussion. I was shooting the halfstock percussion smooth bore 20g I built a few years back. Next time I’m taking my .50...

    Holy Black Cans

    According to some on here, it is holy and to use anything else is pure sacrilege. However to answer your question, I do not know precisely but suspect its modern (since the arrival of subs). Walk

    Bear Oil

    I render and put into sterilized jars exactly like canning. I store them in the basement unless opened. I just rub my patches into the rendered fat for hunting. I also use in place of lard in my pie crusts. Its awesome!! The only oil I ever get comes from kidney fat, etc. the fat on the back is...

    Goex FFFG and FFG Equivalency Ratio(s) in loading 56 Caliber

    As your title was for a specific bpcr caliber, I suspect that is why no answer was given. This site is for traditional muzzleloading. The sister site “Modern Muzzleloader” has an area for bpcr, as do a few others. There are loading and pressure curve differences so the answer is not as...
