    Most Underrated Muzzleloading Accessories.

    I've used a pair of large scissors for many years for patches. I just fold over the fabric until I get about 6 layers, and then I use a round object...like an old percussion cap can...and draw as many circles on the fabric as I can with a pen. I sit down in front of the tv and start cutting...

    Wasp Nest

    I pull down a nest from red wasps occasionally, and sometimes put them in a small sealed sandwich sized bag and put it in my freezer. When I get ready to hunt, I just pull them out for a while to warm up and they are ready to go. I like to put a chuck of nest over the powder to keep the patch...

    TC Hawkin peep sight and ram rod?

    I put a GM barrel on a TC Hawken a while back and installed a Lyman peep on the tang. I've sure been happy with that setup thus far and I've shot quite a few possibles in matches with it.

    WANTED Investarms Stock

    I looked through my shop, and couldn't find it.....I must have given it to a friend or something, but just don't remember. This old age stuff sure gets frustrating !! Good luck ...I hope you can find one....

    WANTED Investarms Stock

    I think I have one in my shop....I'll just have to get out and dig around and see if I can find it.

    Clip on Wheel weights

    I've used a lot of the old style of clip on weights for round balls, but I get it really hot first and stir it quite often. The tin being lighter will rise to the top and I just skim it off. After I'm not getting much to rise to the top, I use some wax and stir it through the lead too, and skim...

    FOR SALE ZELLE

    I was scammed once on here by a guy wanting to do the zelle thing. I finally sent Paypal to his cousin, because he said he doesn't use it....and that was the last I ever heard from him. My stupidity even trusting in the deal...but hopefully I learned something. The guy I dealt with was somewhere...

    .62 rifle range results

    I do a little hunting now and then, but none of the real big stuff like elk, etc..... I do shoot whitetails on a regular basis. I never meant my comment to be figured as an aberration, just a comment. I just don't really consider huge loads of black powder necessary for a lot of things. If I...

    .62 rifle range results

    The last match I shot in, I managed 4 possibles out of 4 targets....using 40 grains of 3f out of a 45 barrel. I'm sorry, but hitting things is more important to me than just using large loads of powder. To each his own I guess.....best of luck...

    .62 rifle range results

    Hard for me to imagine that large of a load in a .62. I have owned one for years, and never shot over 70 grains in it with a prb. It drops deer with no problem using that load. If I were loading for accuracy, I'd probably be using lighter loads yet.....

    buying muzzleloaders, if you had to do it all over what would you have bought and not bought

    I hunt with my muzzleloaders a lot, just like Howie does....just in a little different part of Texas. I have owned a lot of custom rifles over the years and still have a few of them. Most of my shooting though is at club matches and it may be a little strange, but the last rifle I have been...

    Geeze....I just gave away a couple nice complete antlers and a box of chunks of them !

    Pedesoli Bounty?

    I bought one, and the trigger was terrible....might have been 15 lbs or so. I contacted Pedersoli and they told me about a guy that did work on them for Pedersoli. He did me no good, so I took it to a semi local guy that tried to make it better, but he told me it was all out of whack and there...

    Any Lyman Plains Pistol fans here?

    I've seen some beautiful loading stands, but they scare me and I don't think I'd ever use one. I've shot pistols for years, and always just hold the butt up against my belt line as I do the ball starting and seating. I have seen quite a few cases over the years of stocks cracked from putting...

    Hello from central Calif. Modesto

    I think you have some rendezvous around your area, so you can really impress folks there with your new gun, once you get it done. Welcome !

    I just looked back through some old pics and found a second pic of the same guy. Might give you some idea of his age.....

    I'm not good at figuring ages of deer, but the look of his neck with missing hair and things like that just gave me the impression he was old. You're probably right though.

    I kinda got the impression he was an old timer. I am seeing quite a few younger bucks and does lately, but no really bigger ones for a while.

    Changing Sights

    I bought a Green Mountain barrel and added a Lyman rear peep sight and the same front sight you are using. I'm 76 yrs. old and it sure did help my old eyes work ! I often shoot matches with a score of 50 and 5x's......I've never had any muzzleloaders that shot like this. If you want to slightly...
