    20G fowler - loads and tips?

    What combination generally tightens your pattern? The first thing I'll hunt for over summer is foxes and hares.

    20G fowler - loads and tips?

    That is all helpful because I just bought one and now need to figure out how to use it!

    20G fowler - loads and tips?

    Apologies I'm sure it's been covered but I find the search function hard to find things at times so I thought I'd start a thread that was very black and white in the hopes that others searching will find it easier. What are some loads and processes for best accuracy/grouping with a fowler...

    First shot

    Just get your storage oil out of the bore/flash channel and it'll be fine. Run a couple of dry patches through it then pop a couple of caps and it should be good to go. You can run some alcohol down but I don't usually bother anymore. I went for a little hunt tonight, couple of dry patches then...

    Pedersoli Indian Trade Gun First Shots

    Is there a volumetric way to weigh out 1 1/8 Oz of shot? I'm looking at getting a fowler and I have no idea how to choose the right amount of shot.

    Value for money powder horn and shooting pouch

    I'd love to have a go myself, my problem is that I'm 30 and in a very busy period of my life between full time work, full time study (for my new job), trying to do up the house and yard of our run down place and manage a couple of toddlers. I don't have the time to do the things I love to do let...

    Value for money powder horn and shooting pouch

    Any suggestions for these? As I look to transition into flintlocks I see the need for more space. The value part comes from the fact that with currency exchange and shipping you can add 50% on to the cost. Something practical I.e. waterproof and that isn't going to readily spill things when I...

    Adding a rear sight to smoothbore

    The only use it would be then would be roaring in red stags, I have my two hawken caplocks that can stretch out. I mostly hunt areas where long shots are common, I hard to close the gap in open paddocks. It would be pretty fun using shot for foxes and hares too. I could use it hunting hog deer...

    Adding a rear sight to smoothbore

    I received some photos of the gun. I'm not sure about whether the rust is likely to be an issue, they don't have a bore scope and its half way around the country so I can't get my hands on it. There very well could be pitting. I realise the flint is crooked but is there any other issues here...

    Adding a rear sight to smoothbore

    Another question for folks, there is no 4F in the country at the moment. If I were to mortar and pestle some 2F up fine and discard the dust would this make a usable priming powder? I may be able to get some 3F but it is likely to cost $200-300 for a 2.2lb container with shipping as there is...

    Adding a rear sight to smoothbore

    I have never, nor have any intention in the near future to do any competition shooting so rules and such don't phase me. I'm just a hunter who likes to challenge myself by using old methods. I was right into archery until I got a gun dog and found it too hard to gave both in the field so moved...

    Slowest Twist

    I've seen @Idaholewis do some impressive things with a 1:48 twist rifle and conicals.

    Warm water and dish soap?

    Boiling water in my experience equals flash rust, warm water with or without dish soap seems to do the trick at cleaning.

    Adding a rear sight to smoothbore

    I'm embarrassed to admit despite having peeps on other guns that never occurred to me. With a peep or rear sight, do you find accuracy and range ability improves? My goal is a 100 yard deer rifle

    Adding a rear sight to smoothbore

    I'm still on the search for a flinter, I have possibly got a shot at a second hand pedersoli Indian trade musket. To be deer legal in my state I need to have a front and and rear sight, and single projectile only. Just wondering if anyone has and if so how to go about putting a rear sight on...
