    Wallflower guns

    9 days is the longest I have ever gone without shooting a new gun of any kind. The average is about 2 days and that seems like an eternity. Why by them if you're not going to shoot them....

    Corn meal - At our last muzzle loading trap shoot one said he was using corn meal instead of cushion wads. It seemed to work.

    Yup... I use corn meal right over the top of the powder and the shot right on top of the corn meal. Used it at our states trap and skeet shoot. When I first tried it at the range on the pattern board, it worked Way better than the traditional wads. No holes in the pattern whatsoever! I was...

    Is it uncool to use Pyrodex?

    A person can shoot any powder he or she likes but I really cannot believe there are people here in the U.S that say they cannot get real black powder. Even during the pandemic I could get real black powder. Just had to be patient. 2 days ago I received a shipment of real black powder from Graf &...

    The did you ever thread......

    Went deer hunting with my 54 cal flintlock. Drove all the way to my jumping off point, still in the dark. Went to load and discovered I had brought the wrong hunting pouch! It was for my 50 cal. To salvage my day I just double patched the . 490 RB and took off hunting. Didn't get a shot but...

    Same for me. My dad voted democrat no matter who was running. Finally figured it out when Carter was president. Kept telling him that the democrats were anti God and only for keeping in office no matter who they stepped on.

    Percussion caps #11

    Been using many brands over the years. No problem with my older CCI #11s and recently bought some from Cabela's that work fine. No problems here.

    No digging today!

    Not rabbit hunting story but a good one though... Hunting Polar bear with my Pedersoli fowler with a .600 round ball and 150 grains of Swiss FFg. As we got 2 miles out on the ice we stopped so I could load up. Low and behold I had forgotten to bring any powder!! Not wanting to squander the...

    TVM style muzzleloaders

    A few months back I was going to order a rifle from them. Informed it would be 18 month before they could start building the gun. Told them to forget it.... with cancer I might not be around to shoot it. Still think they are an outstanding company. I already have one of their great rifles.

    LONG ENOUGH FLINT ?

    When ordering flints from TOW.... flints are measured in "Width" not length.

    Decent Flintlock Rifle.

    Years ago I bought a Pedersoli Blue Ridge rifle in percussion. Shot it for a year and then converted it to flint. It is in 54 caliber. It has become my elk hunting rifle of choice. Contrary to what some people may say,,, it is of great quality. The wood to metal finish is exceptional on my rifle...

    Is there a safe way to dry fire a percussion revolver?

    One of my friends tried that. After just one afternoon of dry firing, he had go replace every nipple!
