    .72 Caliber Jeager with vids.

    andy52, If you are able to kneel at your shooting bench, it will keep you back straight and let you rock with the recoil. Also, a bag of shot, kitty litter, or a pc of foam board is your friend at the shooting bench. Great Rifle!

    .72 caliber rifle.

    Also try finding a patch and ball combo for shooting harder scrap lead. And try tapered paper cartridges with hardened balls, cheap shooting. [fast reloads]

    I can lend you the tools to do it if you would like?

    .72 caliber rifle.

    Last time, a radius is better than a sharp edge on any style rifling.

    .72 caliber rifle.

    Love these big bore guns! First thing needed is to round the sharp edge of the taper to bore on the muzzle. and get the right ball and patch combination. A .72 can be from .715 to .730 in bore size. In my .73, I shoot a mild load of 125FF and a .725RB.

    .54 PRB elk load

    If you are going to hunt elk, you need to know about Tapered paper Cartridges! 8 second reloads are easy, not so much on the run, but you don't loose any powder! http://rjrenner.blogspot.com/p/tapered-paper-cartridges.html Lots of 'tapered wood' on ebay for mandrels. And they work in a 54!

    .54 PRB elk load

    1", 28" 1-72 ish, what ever they have always made. 1980s era. Pure lead is .537" hard were slightly smaller. Oops!

    .54 PRB elk load

    I double lunged an elk with 90 grains of 3F and a slightly hardened round ball. [could still scratch it with a thumb nail] 40 yards, clean thru with the 54. My green mtn barrel shoots best with 90-95 grains of 3F with a .537 ball and tight pillow ticking.

    OK. Stupid Question Time

    Most valve stems are 1/8 NPT, then get the 1/8 to 1/16 NPT adapter. 1/16 NPT is 1/4-28
