A few years back I and two other gents flew to Texas to hunt pigs with doubles. Had a good time and got some good meat.

Personally I am into flinters, but if you interested in a parkerhale .451 Whitworth I have one with a Lyman mould and a starter. Would pass it on for $1200 plus shipping. [email protected]

fainter. Prefer a .50 or larger for hunting, but have taken deer with a .45.

You can shoot either, I am right handed and still have no trouble shooting a left hand flinter.

Buy Uberti, I ordered a Pietta to do a test project and had to fit the bolt and the hand to make the gun work. Uberti guns are way higher in quality. I'm a gunsmith doing this stuff since 1976.

Reading history, a few folks keep using front loaders as to the fact that's all they had. If it an't broke don't fix it. And if you study Sargeant Yorks history, he and some folks where shooting front loaders for sport (pre-WWI).

Brownnells has a tool that has a level and a center punch. Set the gun up level and get the level centered, and with the punch over where you want the sight, tap with small hammer ect.

With black powder, the longer barrel is better with the burn rate. But shot different guns with different barrel lengths, I just prefer shorter barrels when hunting in thick brush. I find it just a bit easier in the thick brush around where I live. But again, have done well with a gun that has...

Most all of the replies have good advice. But you may have to have the barrel recut. I have had to redo a fair amount of old guns the were said to be beyond repair. Just a matter of what you are willing to accept. Good luck.

Feel the same. I hunt for meat and to be in the woods. Not to sport kill.

I I have been shooting black powder for just over 50 years, and am happy with FF or FFF Goex. Tried other brands, and and don't see that much difference except in price. Some guns may prefer one or the other F sizes, but if I could only get 3F, well I would still be happy. Just get out a have...
