    Moose hunting with the .54

    Don't get me wrong, unless I absolutely have to I don't do guided hunts, I'm a diy hunter through and through. But the cost of building points in the states even in a random draw state, you're better off just saving for a guided hunt anyway for moose and sheep. I did consider trying Montana...

    I know they don't make them anymore buy the good and bad of Australia is that we're behind the times. You can still buy hornady FPB which have been discontinued for a while. Might be able to get the 54 GP

    That's good to know, might try and track down some conicals to use in it. Could be good medicine for big game. I certainly love mine and will not part with it.

    I already have two hawken rifles, the mortimer is heavier again (at least the Pedersoli versions).

    Moose hunting with the .54

    I will get to tick off some animals hopefully. Been building up points in WY for a few years now. Mule deer, elk and antelope are in line there. Can't explain it but I'm far more interested in a nice black bear over a griz, and that's very doable. Sheep and moose I've pretty well crossed off...

    Moose hunting with the .54

    It is a dream of mine to experience that before I die but sadly I ain't going to happen with the price of moose hunts these days.

    Investarms Gemmer Hawken

    I'm still here and there on what my rifled flintlock will be. I've tossed up the idea of a Pedersoli Frontier in .54 or a chambers Edward Marshall .58 but I today also saw a YouTube video of a guy with a gemmer hawken and didn't know much about them. Before I go any further, I know some people...

    The rocky mountain is nice, but my Missouri River is nicer!

    No I haven't, covid has really made things hard. I wanted to (and still want to) cast my own for the Missouri but we can't get moulds or anything like that from the states with the restricted postage going on. I've been shooting sabots through it for now, don't get me wrong they do a great job...

    You're thinking of the Missouri River (which I also own), the Rocky Mountain is a 1:66 twist gun for round balls. I initially ordered a hawken hunter so I could use conicals and sabots for shooting further out. I changed it to the Missouri river and am glad I did its a beautiful gun. While I...

    I very nearly got a brittany myself as a gun dog, but ended up with a GSP. Brits here don't come in black and white, very beautiful dog. I'm still getting my head around different climates in USA. I don't think I looked into AZ too much as draw opportunity didn't seem all that good for non...

    They're sock protectors, prime grass seed season at the moment! But being in Australia whenever you leave the house in warm months snakes are front of mind. I just have him walk behind me so I can clear the path. Sounds like we have very similar climates, our summers are about the same. Don't...

    I try getting him out as much as I can, I'm from generational hunters so my dad took me out from the time I could as did his dad for him and on and on. Probably the first to be using black powder guns since the 1800s though!

    Yeah it was about 35 Deg C at the time, day temps had nudged 40C.

    Pedersoli ignition -- humidity problem or human problem?

    Before you go out for a shot, run isopropyl alcohol down the bore to clean out any oil etc. This will help. I wouldn't put priming up against the flash hold, it will go off but it'll fuse and take a while which won't help your flinch. Keep at it, pedersoli are good guns and you'll find the...

    Took my eldest boy out for a walk this afternoon. Managed to take a hare at 30 yards with my .54 Pedersoli RM Hawken.

    They're about the size of a big buck whitetail arent they? 😁

    Long rifle kits?

    If it's that light and crisp I would like it, I find I need a light trigger to shoot well. As long as DOC aren't bombing up the reds and tahr maybe there is something positive about the lockdowns!
