    Mag spark

    I had one many years ago when I got my first muzzleloader. It worked but with all the problems already noted in this and previous threads. Once I learned how to properly load, swab and clean my rifle correctly, including switching to real black powder, there were no more ignition problems with cap

    Favorite Target for Load Development

    Excellent advice. Load development should be methodical changing only one variable at a time; that being the amount of powder. Keep the patch material and lube the same for every shot and do not adjust the sights, that comes later. I'm also a fan of the Shoot n See type targets, especially the...

    Summer Hog

    Let me know if you need a place to hunt hogs. I used to guide on several different ranches here in Texas and still have a few contacts left. Depending of course on where your son lives and how far you're willing to drive.

    How often do you replace the nipple ?

    I think the Treso nipples are described as bronze, AMPCO bronze if that helps. Usually the factory supplied nipples are mild steel and are not very good to start with. Lots of advice to immediately go with stainless or start with Treso nipples.

    Tried Balistol / Water today

    Ballistic is a water soluble oil which mixes with water. The ratio for dry lube is anywhere from 9-1 to 5-1, with most people choosing the 7-1 as being most accurate for them after testing. I also cut at the muzzle and buy 100% cotton mattress ticking at the local fabric store. After washing and...

    I’m in too deep auction buy…..

    Ibid. Ramin wood is not to be trusted! I used those dowels for years and didn't understand runout or the need for ramrods to be split out and then shaped. Until my short starter failed under pressure! Even though I didn't impale my hand the cut was sufficiently painful enough to motivate me the...

    First Muzzleloading Kit Build Thread

    Really sorry to see this happen and I agree that there was a moisture content problem with the stock and not your fault. If this was a built from scratch project then repairing the wood would be the way to go. However, this problem came from the factory and would have eventually manifested...

    A new rifle requires a new bag

    A nice bag, I like the patch too. I especially like how you made the straps, instead of a strip of leather yours widen and spread at the point of attachment. The color and finish of the leather is quite nice, giving it a soft to the touch look. It goes nicely with your horn.

    SOLD PATCH KNIFE

    I've got one of TallPine's knives and it is indeed sharp and keeps that sharpness quite well. To spot a bladesmith "his left arm is hairless" 😆

    Finally giant hogs showing up

    He sure is! There was a time that land owners would let you hunt pigs for free but those days are long gone. I've watched as feral hogs literally mowed down sorghum an acre a day and he wanted us to bring more friends to help shoot them. I used to work part-time as a guide for a friends ranch...

    Turkey surrendered.

    I like the wire inlay very much, it compliments an already good looking smoke pole.
