    Another new old guy question about powder

    I've only shot 3f in my fifty. Didn't seem to be a problem. When I do get a .54, I may try to find some 2f to try sometime but will probably start with 3f. Thanks again.

    Another new old guy question about powder

    I have 3 rifles and 3 pistols. 2 .45 cal and one 50 cal rifle. I always in the past used 3f powder in everything. I have been thinking of getting a .54 cal rifle. Can I still use 3f or should I go to 2f and what would be the advantages and disadvantages? Sorry if this has been discussed...

    Safety Question

    I think the guy in the video is just lucky he only lost a finger. And he's an *****. Dumbest way to carry a gun period. And making a video about it and not saying how dumb he was to carry a capped rifle in thick brush that way. I don't like the idea of a hammer resting on a capped nipple. There...

    Range cleaning

    This is great info. I have a brass jag for the .45 call rifles so I guess I need to find one for the .50. It's been so long since I shot these thing, that my split leather bag is disintegrating at the seams. I did find the small plastic bottle I used with a twist open nozzle for lube but it's a...

    That sounds like what I was doing when I shot years ago. It was a combination of cleaner and lube that I bought in a bottle. So you use Murphy's oil and Windex? What is the proportions? 50/50?

    Thanks, does the alcohol dissolve the fouling or just wipe it out?

    Range cleaning

    So, I hadn't shot a black powder gun in like 30 or 35 years. I had a Hawken style .50 cal I made from a kit but had never fired until today. When I last shot, I used a liquid lube that was also a "cleaner" that I can't remember the name of. I was using some pre lubed patches. The gun shot great...

    New guy to the forum

    I lived in SoCal then. The cops would tell ne to take it home and if they caught me again they would take it and my Dad would have to come retrieve it. I was more afraid of him than them. It was in the city limits, technically.

    New guy to the forum

    Hi guys. I just joined as I have been thinking I don't have enough hobbies to spend my money on. I am not exactly new to black powder but haven't shot in years. I got my first black powder gun in 1968. A 28 ga shotgun from the back of a Field and Stream magazine. $19.95 plus shipping. I remember...
