    A rifle that needs swabbed after every shot on a woodswalk??

    I live 3 miles from my club so I take my time shooting and usually I’ll shoot s few unmentionables also so 10-15 shots with the flinter is normal

    A rifle that needs swabbed after every shot on a woodswalk??

    This is my first year shooting MLs. I have a .45 Kibler SMR. When I first started shooting I had the same issue. After the first shot I could feel a distinct crud ring when loading the second shot and had to swab after every other shot. I switched from preluded patches to using a lubed I made...

    SMR

    I had zero trouble getting used to my SMR and when deer hunting with my old favorite unmentionable last Saturday had zero problem shooting it the way I always have. Didn’t even think, just shouldered, aimed and killed,

    Kibler's Hunting Pouch

    WOW, so now if we express an opinion we are told to STFU, how very liberal of you. I guess you missed the parts where I said “to each his own”.

    Kibler's Hunting Pouch

    We’ll it’s obvious you think this kit is great and I believe if Kim Kibler is selling it then it will be great. I just think the average guy that needs one hunting bag isn’t going to spend $155 on a kit, even if it does include some tools he might never use again. like I said, to each his own.

    Kibler's Hunting Pouch

    I’m not interested in HC or PC so obviously this option doesn’t interest me at all. I suppose those that are will be interested, seems pretty pricey though considering everything else available out there. JMO, to each his own.

    Seriously, you think people are going to pay $155 for a kit when they can buy awesome completed bags for less than that. Blackposderbags.com has many options available and in my opinion they are way better than any kit could be.

    I asked a guy selling honey at a local market, I bought a few pints of honey and he threw in ten pounds of wax.

    I appreciate anyone passing along this information. I have taken advantage of others giving me a heads up in the past and will do so again in the future.

    50/50 Dawn and Water patch lube?

    FYI if you have spotted lantern flies this 50/50 dish soap water when sprayed on them will kill them right away,

    Rifle Recommendations for a New ML Hunter

    Don’t forget cleaning jag, ball puller, cleaning patches, capper, pouch to carry it all in, spare ramrod. These things add up in a hurry and shipping and hazmat charges are steep if you don’t have powder and caps available locally. A new centerfire rifle already scoped would not require anything...

    What twist would be right for roundball in a 40 caliber ?

    Bore out bigger then insert a sleeve that fits the new bore and is .45 caliber

    What twist would be right for roundball in a 40 caliber ?

    This might be a dumb question but here goes, does caliber have any bearing on what the twist rate should be for round ball? I assumed that round ball needed a very slow rate, like 1 in 60 or so but seeing a recommendation of 1 in 48 has me a bit confused.

    I picked up on that as well. I’m willing to give him the benefit of doubt though.

    Rifle Recommendations for a New ML Hunter

    In my opinion a guy can get by shooting only a couple times to get ready for deer season if using a scoped centerfire rifle but I don’t think someone that is not dedicated to practicing year round is going to develop the skill to ethically hunt with an open sighted muzzleloader. I see it every...

    Rifle Recommendations for a New ML Hunter

    Personally I would not recommend getting into muzzle loaders at all if all you do is shoot a couple of times per year. You would be better off buying a used scoped center fire rifle or a brand new Savage Axis that comes with a scope for less than $500.
