60 grains of 2F, equal measure of cornmeal, 1 1/4 oz of shot, and an overshot car works pretty well in my 20 gauge kibler.

3F seems to have a sharper kick, for the same velocity, or maybe just my imagination.

Managed to snag a sweet little 20 guage Kibler quick ship fowler in maple. Could not help myself. I'm 5'10'' and the length of pull is just about perfect, very comfortable check weld, and nice and light. Inletting is almost perfect, just cleaned up a little fuzz and everything fit. The...

Love to shoot offhand and reload ammo but hate to pickup and deal with the brass, flintlocks solve the problem.

Well worth any wait. Thanks

I'm a plinker, not a swabber, wet patch, ballistal and water, ratio unknown/oily. Bore stays consistent and easy to load for a long, long time. This is supposed to be fun, not work. Keep your barrel hot and enjoy the smoke and the clanging of the steel.

First day with my Rob Miller trade gun, she is sweet.

Nice rifle. I could not help myself and bought the last one Wayne had for sale. Fit and finish, top notch, even better than the .54 that I cobbled together, imagine that.

I ordered a 16 Guage on the first day they came out in cherry, love their products, I have a couple of colonials, two woodsrunners, and a couple of smr's. The best thing about them is you know they will just work. The touch hole will be in the right position, the breechface will be flat not...

Ran a box and half of .54s thru the woodsrunner today, 250ish rounds total so far. Finished and sighted it in a couple of days ago, managed to line up two pigs that afternoon. Stock fits me good, its an easy to put together kit, everything just works. Nice to have a flinter with a flat...

65Grs of 2F seems to be a sweet spot in my .62 smoothbores and rifles. Started out the 120 gr route of the conventional wisdom of the day, then bought a .62 tradegun from Rob Miller, all of 5 pounds and change, he turned me on the less is more. That lighter charge is a lot more pleasant to shoot...

Oldwood is correct

Untold years of 1,000 hrs plus of overtime and here I am, an old man with enough time and funds to do what I want to do and that is collect and shoot muzzleloaders. Wish I was a little younger.

Sold

It's pretty easy to run through more than a pound of powder and a hundred or so roundballs in an afternoon of plinking. I can only justify that much shooting a couple of times a week if I mold my own balls. Besides, I kind of like casting them anyway. Part of the fun.

Lee pots work good and are a good value. Need a thermometer with it and you should be good to go. Much prefer the bottom pour.

Cast a few round balls this afternoon, had big plans for a few more calibers but, my ambition subsided. Oh well.

Wow, outstanding. Art at it's finest.

Warmed up enough this afternoon to play with my .62 smoothrifle. Still have a couple of doe tags left, may take it hunting in the morning. It's steel plate worthy out to sixty long paces. That ought to do it.

.662 with a .15 wet patch, easy to load and keeps the bore swabbed with every shot, 65 grns of 2F for plinking, up to 110 for a little extra punch.
