The canyon floor was only 300ish yards to the bottom. I'm just glad I wasn't hunting in Arizona..now those are some deep canyons.LOL

Thank you jrmflintlock for your assistance in posting for the fellow members to have a look see.

I took my custom 12ga under hammer to the foothills of Central Washington in search of Merriams Turkey. The hunt began at day break on the 23rd. I had put a bird to bed on Sunday night and returned to the same canyon at dawn. After a very steep decent into the forested canyon I settled in and...

Great turkey! Well done on an exciting hunt.

Skychief, Much like you I have not the skills to post pictures. I do have some and would love for members to have a look see but like I said no skills :haha:

I'll be taking my under hammer 12ga to the mountains in search of a meriams brand turkey bird. Hunt begins this coming Monday at zero dark thirty. Skychief special loading of course, 1-1/4 oz #6's. Good Luck in the spring woods everyone.

Stand down. I just got off the phone with them. Measurements 7/16ths from top of barrel to center of aperture. Just in case anyone else wants to know.

I'm wondering if anyone has the Johnson peep sight from muzzleloader builders supply? I'm curious about the center of peep measurement height from the top of the barrel to center of the aperture. The add does not say. Thanks.

Well I soaked some wads in veggie oil for a few hours and they seemed to be nice and saturated. Took my newly built under hammer 12ga to try and pattern. This will be my turkey gun so I went with 80 grns of 2F Goex and 1-1/4 oz #6 shot. 25 yards. Results were a nice even spread over a 12x18...

I have not weighed them but I will. Didn't think of that.

Thanks for the info. What brand of wad? I have a bag from Muzzleloading Originals? Picked them up at a local sports store. They seem really dense and although they have changed color in the oil, I wouldn't say that they are getting soaked. I may have to order a different brand wad. I will try...

In regards to the Skychief load, how long and what sort of oil is everyone using to soak the cushion wad?

I bought a 12 ga new englander barrel and it fit perfectly to a wood stock that I had. Mine had the full choke screw in so I bought a cylinder choke tube for it. There used to be a long going thread about cloth strips used for better patterns. I worked a load for mine and killed a double on...

Congrats to you and your son. Great memories made together. I just got back from a week of muzzy elk hunting with my son here in Washington. Close on a nice bull but alas no shot. We needed him to "Zig" and he decided to "Zag". Great time with no shots fired...except for the grouse :grin:

Cynthialee, I live on the "Wet" side of the state and really only carry a concealed weapon for two legged predators. If I were you (I also practice this) carry a big can of bear spray. much lighter in weight and the range of use will be that same as the pistols you describe. The spray will...

Thank you for all the info provided.

Yes indeed the right barrel is loaded. First thing I checked. We will pull that for sure. I agree the gun is probably a wall hanger. Its a shame, the locks are very strong as well as trigger function. Wood is is very good condition, no cracking /splitting. I will have to measure the bores. the...

I had a friend show me an old percussion SxS damascus barreled shotgun today. It is badly rusted. I was able to make some of the proof marks on the barrels. The marks are an F over a LG with a small star below and all inside a small circle. I could barley make out 10.6 with a small looks like a...

My 54 cal trade rifle likes just a little bit thicker patch,.018 with the .530 ball. Just my opinion but why bother starting at 60grns and burning up so much powder to get to 80-100 grns? Of course there is the pure fact that you get to shoot a lot,,always a good thing. If a good stout hunting...

Check out canvascamps.us, look under stoves and accessories. There are several types of bolt on stove pipe vents. Most are for their stove which takes a much smaller pipe. Maybe worth a call to them and inquire.There is a you tube video showing a guy laying out and cutting/mounting to a...
