    Chemo is very nasty but cancer treatment has come I a long way. I should be dead but could still around a couple more years. I have a good good Doc!

    Good luck to you. I'm living ( for now) with lung cancer. It's NO picnic. Hang tough and fight the good fight!

    Powder grain size effects on velocity

    I don't believe 4f is going to blow your gun up though. Black powder only generates so much pressure.

    Bullet for TC 1:38

    Speaking of conicals, if you don't cast your own No Excuses can fix you up with some pretty good ones. They've been around quite awhile. Dave is a big-time smokepole hunter.

    Percussion Cap brands

    RWS 1075 were sometimes too small for my TC #11 nipples. One hammer strike to seat them and the next to set them off. My Italian nipples seem smaller so they fit better.

    Removing the barrel on a hooked breech rifle for cleaning, yes or no??

    I have noticed after reinstalling my barrel it has to be "settled in" with several shots to get back where it was so I only pull them about once or twice a year. I'm saving powder and lead!😂

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Bend the hammer or set back the barrel ?

    When I put a musket nipple on my Dixie Hawken the slight forward misalignment meant the hammer wouldn't hit the cap. Oxy/acetylene torch fixed it fast!👍

    Very frustrated..need advice

    I had similar problems with my new Dixie Hawken. Talked to their Smith and he had me send the stock and lock back. Came back under 2 weeks working fine. They stand behind their products.👍

    FFFg in 50 Cal Hawkin?

    I've burned a lot of 3f in my 54's with patched round balls. 90 grains was deadly accurate and certainly not over pressure.

    Pointing Vs Aiming

    Let's talk about dumb luck shots. I had a trigger job done on my unmentionable 44 mag and was driving up in the hills with my brother when a gopher ran across the dirt 2 track and stopped at it's hole. I jumped out drew and cocked my single action pointed it at said gopher and boom , it went off...
