    Is the Pedersoli Trade Gun a "Tack Driver?"

    With a sharp flint and properly primed mine is quick as you could ask of any gun. But as you say they're just bloody good fun! Have you tried/found a decent round ball load? I can't get any round balls for it here with covid shortages but I'm keen to get her into a 50 yard deer gun.

    Holland and Holland Identification

    You couldn't possibly be suggesting that the forum experts who derided the poor guy that came on for simple advice were wrong? The same guys that trash and tear apart anything not a custom PC HC gun of a select few acceptable brands or built by certain gunsmiths are unable to distinguish...

    Trouble…

    No I haven't, I don't have the grease nipple required and as I work 40 mins out of town and leave before shops open and arrive home after they close I can't do anything until the weekend. I've spoken to the pedersoli distributor and he has referred me on to a smith that will remove it if I...

    Trouble…

    Perhaps you should read the thread, I did reply to you are 11:25pm to say it had powder behind it. Then at 11:48pm edited my post to include it. If you read the entire thread as you've suggested you'll also see that I have stated in no uncertain terms that enough is bloody well enough. If...

    Trouble…

    If anyone ever wonders why muzzleloading isn't more popular you need only look at threads on this forum. Too many pretentious a-holes that would rather tear down, humiliate and belittle someone trying to learn rather than just helping or shutting up. Yes there are other stuck ball threads but...

    Trouble…

    I wondered how I'd get the pressure. What's cleanup like with a bore full of grease? Apologies if you've already said I must have missed in the last 6 pages of people complaining.

    Trouble…

    Welcome to the forum. I've been on lots of forums over the years and this is the absolute worst for sarcastic whining people. It's a shame because there are also some really good and informative guys too, which is why I come back. Thankfully we have an ignore button so I don't have to see the...

    Trouble…

    I appreciate all the smart arse replies, if your sick of these threads feel free to scroll on rather than going out of your way to be a Jack arse. I've dealt with stuck balls before by myself fine but never like this. As I've said my range rod end is broken off in the barrel so there is no...

    Trouble…

    I just use olive oil and have never had a problem before, though these were a little on the dry side but I still got some oil on my fingers when loading them. It was only my third shot without swabbing and I just couldn't get it down with my ramrod (didn't have my range rod with me as it was a...

    Trouble…

    Caplock. My range rod is snapped off in there which is what you can see in the pic. I could try the air compressor but I don't know how I'd get a good enough seal to push it out.

    Trouble…

    My concern is that the patch worm got bent and I'm worried it's sitting against the rifling so I'm not sure how it'll go e.g. blow up or stuff my rifling if I send it off with 120gr powder.

    Trouble…

    Ball is 6" from the muzzle with a full 120gr 2F charge in the bore.

    Trouble…

    Went out for a shot tonight and got a ball stuck. When I got back I screwed in a ball puller gave it a yank and broke the damned thing. I then realised that I’d used my patch puller instead of the ball puller while i was distracted talking to my wife. I screwed in my ball puller after that and...

    Can't speak for the kit but the Pedersoli trade gun is a great shooter, I really like mine.

    Moose hunting with the .54

    If I did bear it would be a western spot and stalk diy with centrefires or in an eastern state I'd use the blackpowder. We have our own challenging hunts here, I do a fair bit of mountain hunting which is hard enough! What part of the country are you?
