    I came on here a couple years ago looking for supplies for my muzzleloading shotgun. The style that you are interested in is very popular. All the cool guys here have a full stock flintlock.

    Welcome from Cave Creek. To your question about modern muzzleloaders, they are not in the scope of this forum and are even against the rules to discuss. I don’t think most have anything against them, but there are other forums that focus on modern firearms. You will get excellent information...

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Welcome from Cave Creek AZ. My wife and I honeymooned on a Hawaiian cruise. We loved Hilo and Lanai. What a tragedy the fire was. How’s the banyan tree holding up? I heard when it all happened they thought it might make it.

    Pedersoli 1777 Charleville

    When I got my Pedersoli, the owner’s manual was basically a safety manual and it wasn’t specific to my gun. I read the whole thing, but it wasn’t useful for my gun.

    2024 Turkey Hunting

    Since people often wear full camo while turkey hunting, there is a number of accidents that have happened during turkey season. The accidents that have occurred with rifles have been much worse than those with shotguns.

    accuracy

    My pop’s .69 shoots in a paper plate at 50 yards. He is a civil war buff, so he instructed me to throw in the powder, then the ball then the paper. The ball had to be “rammed” gently down the barrel, it wouldn’t roll down by itself.

    2024 Turkey Hunting

    I’m going to use my Pedersoli this year. Might as well carry it around and not kill any birds as carry around my modern shotgun and not get anything 😜.

    Finally Succumbed...,

    I have the Tap-o-caps, because I didn’t think I was going to be able to get my hands on the regular ones. But then I did and so haven’t used or made any functional Tap-o-caps. One thing to keep in mind is to follow the video instructions and don’t go off script. A fellow on here shared what...

    So I made a patch knife!

    My pop was an EMT, so maybe it does translate to good crafting. He made a really nice sheath for a modern knife of his.

    12 Ga Pedersoli shotgun and the Sky Chief Turkey load

    Interesting, I do have some 1F from my pop’s civil war stuff, maybe I’ll give it a try. Thanks. The standard clay/bird load was relatively easy to get shooting well. I think that if I ever try to take a turkey with BP, I might try my pop’s Springfield replica rather than the Pedersoli. It...

    Pedersoli 20 gauge Howdah wad punch size

    I’m mostly being goofy, but if 5/8 is too small and 11/16 is too big, I’m going to go out on a limb and say you need 21/32. Kidding aside the little bit of extra will crush in the barrel to make a tight fit on the 11/16. Make sure you use plenty of lube so on subsequent shots the fouling will...
