    what to use under the barrel

    Everytime I've acquired another muzzleloader, I take a little different turn towards maintenance and it's always treated me good. I coat under the barrel, and all hidden areas of the wood with tru oil and after cleaning it I always give the wood a light coat of Bore Butter all over. Never had a...

    Flintlocks and Black Powder

    I've always used 4f in the pans as I think it burns faster and is easier to ignite. Considering how much you put in a pan, a pound of 4f will last a long, long time. Some guys use 3f or whatever in the pans and do okay with it, I just think 4f has a better chance of giving a guy the best...

    New guy from Big Sky Country

    Welcome !!......if I lived in Montana, I'd want to live just down the street from C. Sharps company. I stop by there whenever I'm in the area.....beautiful products and friendly people. I'd be there every morning if I were in the area !!

    Too much detail

    I have never weighed black powder.....volume is the only way as far as I'm concerned.

    Too much detail

    I've made my own measures for years...a separate one for each gun. I don't see any need to weigh load, tap loads into the measure, etc..... I start a measure and working with an adjustable measure start working it back and forth until they both hold the same volume. It really doesn't take me...

    Hog Weights- Interesting

    I've had to give up my hog hunting as my health has given up....but I have killed many of them. 300 pounders were pretty scarce, but I have killed some of them before. I killed one that I think would have hit the 400 mark, but I don't have any pictures of it. If I were to figure on totals, I...

    Hog Weights- Interesting

    There are lots of phony photos of hogs floating around. Usually the guy that shot it is behind the hog enough in the picture to make the hog look bigger. I've shot some 300 lb. hogs, but not too often.....normally a 200 pounder is considered a pretty good sized one. Hogs are a pretty active...

    Christmas gift from my lovely wife!

    I put different types on them, but you will have problems refitting the sights to fit the widths of the slots on the barrels. There are lots of different sights available and the only problem comes with making them fit !

    58 cal. smoothbore questions.

    I shot a trade gun for years in .58 caliber. My best load was always a .570 rb using 70 gr. 3f and a 015 patch.

    Christmas gift from my lovely wife!

    I have to agree with the sights ! I've owned about half a dozen Pedersoli pistols, and have yet to find one that I like the sights on ! I've managed to change out sights on most of them, and it sure helped....

    Bullet lube ??

    Lots of guys use similar types of lubes, and I certainly agree with them too. I have used Murphy's oil soap mixed with Windex for many years, and it's done good for me and I use it to clean the gun with as well. To each his own and lots of the mixes probably do a good job.

    Bullet lube ??

    No...I was just comparing it to a liquid. It's more the consistency of crisco or something like that. There are lots of different patch lubes out there and guys use all kinds of different ones.....but a guy just figures out which one works best for him for a certain situation.

    Bullet lube ??

    I like using mink oil to hunt with in the colder weather, but as far as summer shooting goes, I think a guy can do better....with less problems. Using a liquid lube in the summer can work great for you as it cleans out a lot of the barrel crud when you load the next load and saves you from...

    Merry Christmas fellow hunters!!!!!

    I sure appreciate your faith and hope. Unfortunately I have been diagnosed with a condition that will continue downhill until I'm gone. I still love our hobbies and would love to be still active in them. I recently gave a TC Hawken and the stuff to shoot it with to a friend and took him to a...

    Merry Christmas fellow hunters!!!!!

    Well guys....we made it to another Christmas ! I don't think I'll see another one, but I'm glad to be here this year. I have a son here visiting from California and that's a pretty long trek to East Texas. He realizes that this is probably our last Christmas together and we are enjoying our time...

    Hesitant on a .58

    The 58s do make a great hunting rifle, but there are also other reasons to own one. I shot a .40 for years in matches and at rendezvous, until I figured out that the larger ball gave me some advantages. Things like splitting a ball on an axe head and games like that are easier with a larger ball.
