    Priming with 3F

    Sorry I didn't make myself clear. Yes I was planning on using 3f for both the main charge and the pan but what I wanted to know is what are people using to prime the pan? From what I read the "pan primers" work with 4f but I don't see any where that they will work with 3f. Or are people just not...

    Priming with 3F

    I'm just curious I'm getting my first flintlock soon and only have 3f powder. So just in case I can't find 4f I need to use 3f what are people who are using 3f using for pan primers? Thanks I'm sure I'll have more questions. Thanks

    Newbie-long time shooter, have almost no muzzleloader experience

    Howdy, and welcome. That was my first build also. It's a nice kit. Mine is very accurate. I was a little put off by the plastic sights but have found them to work quite nicely and see no reason to replace them at this time. Enjoy building it and shooting it.

    Idaho

    My wife and I, when we were travelling would stay in Island Park at Hidden Valley Campground. We would spend our summers there. Loved it up there and can't wait to go back.

    Do Slixshot nipples lessen cap jams in Colt style C&B?

    I've got a Pietta 1851 Navy and I installed SlixShots and I don't have any issues cap jams like I did before installing them. I also polished the hammer face and de-burred the slot.

    Jerry Fisher Inletting Scraper

    I'm looking to purchase an inletting scraper for when my Kibler SMR gets here. But I'm not sure which one would be best or do I need all three? The Octagon 1" x 1 1/16" or the round large 1" x 3/4" or the 1/2" x 5/8"? Or do I need all three? Thanks

    New Lyman sight

    Okay so you did use the enclosed shim block? and did you use the target or hunting ring? The target is very small.

    New Lyman sight

    Hello everyone I just got a new Lyman 57GPR sight and need to sight it in. So I was wondering at what range most people sight one of these in at. I normally sight in at 25yards for both BP and unmentionables and then re-sight in at 50yards but wasn't sure that is what I should be doing with this...

    TVM vs Kibler

    If your goal is to build a rifle from a kit there are plenty out there, some good some just okay. Some look like authentic muzzleloaders, some not so much. But if you want an authentic looking good shooting, well thought out and nicely put together rifle then you should look no further than Mr...

    Ballistol

    Funny my can of Ballistol says to use a mix of 25% Ballistol to 75% water for black powder cleaning. That's what I use and it seems to work just fine, but I real new to BP so I could be wrong.

    half **** after firing?

    Please don't take this thread as typical of this forum. There is occasionally some back and forth and sometimes people get their feathers ruffled for no apparent reason that I can see. And there are a few people on the forum who seem to enjoy causing discord but for the most part you can not...
