Every one of my hunting muzzleloaders has taken big game. My 45's haven't taken elk because it's illegal. Several of my 50's haven't taken antelope because my 45 is my pronghorn and deer gun. Right now my 45 target rifle is the only ML I own that hasn't made a kill but that wasn't its intended...

I exclusively use a peep on all my muzzleloaders. I also use globe front sights. In very low light in timber. Most of my shots have been very close. In those cases. I don't worry about seeing the front sight. My eye centers the rear sight. The globe is centered in the peep. I focus my eye on...

I don't doubt that at that range and animal size that it blew through. But then the bullet took out a 4" diameter tree? I will tell you what I would be willing to bet that you can not replicate knocking over a tree that size. 😉 I will even let you shoot the tree twice. I'm callin bull 💩

I know you won't understand because you don't shoot the Lee 500S&W bullet, but the difference is outstanding. The bullets make a loud WHOMP when they hit. Deer always are taken off their feet. All of the elk I have shot were on the ground right where they were hit. A bullet transferring all...

This bullet is my own home made 458 gr Lee 500S&W bullet. Slightly hardened, Paper patched, and sized. This bullet broke the shoulder on a bull elk took out the spine, and was found under the skin on the off side. It only lost 4 grains after breaking that much bone. Better bullets are worth...

I used to be a fan of the Hornady geat plains bullets in 50cal 410 gr. They were very accurate. I shot some deer with them and soon I was less impressed. The Hornady bullets are pudding soft and that rapid expansion was reducing penetration. These pictures are Hornady 410 gr. The deer was hit...

The TC White mountain carbine had a real fast twist. The Missouri River 50 is 1-24 I think. I have a couple Green Mountain LRH stainless steel 50 cal with 1-28. There are several 45 cal rifles like the Gibbs, and the Whitworth, and others that are way faster than 1-28. Standard grease groove...

A long distance friend of mine (geographically) basically said the same. He told me once he was going to ship it to me to work up a load. So far I haven't seen it.

I made a hotwheels car bridge once out of popsicle sticks. That's my limit to wood working.

It didn't load the first time.

If you get a platinum lined nipple there are a couple things to keep in mind. The platinum lined nipple is longer. The picture I added left to right. Treso nipple, BACO platinum lined, and TC hot shot. I ran into trouble with that extra length of the platinum lined one. On My green mountain...

It was an 1874 sharps

I'm torn between two rifles. #1- Billy Dixon rifle he used at Adobe Walls. #2- Jack O'Connor 270 winchester https://www.nrafamily.org/content/throwback-thursday-battle-of-adobe-walls-the-old-west-s-longest-shot/#:~:text=On%20the%20third%20day%20following,the%20history%20of%20the%20West

Before I started paper patching about 2006? I used a SPG clone type lube. It was made by a guy named Lars Lube, I think. It was very thick but it didn't turn hard. I pan lubed them and cut them out of the lube with a 50 cal M2 case. At the time the bullets I was shooting just didn't do super...

Actually I built several Hot Rod Rifles about 10 years before Lewis started shooting muzzleloaders. His builds were actually replicas of my Hot rods. He did go on to use Lee Shavers soule sights before I did. My last rifle I put together was with Lee Shavers sights based on Lewis's...

5 pages, how far down the barrel is the ball stuck? 🤣🤣🤣

Did the antler say where it was from or what the company name is? I have a friend here in town that does that as his company. Its called Boneafide Antlers. He cuts them up and sells them by the ton.

In these threads common sense really isn't that common.

And there it is. We have fully reached the worst method of removal. 👏👏👏 I really want to see someone do this then proof the barrel again. And none of this stick it in a hole and pull the trigger with a string. If a guy believes in his method, don't be a coward. 💣💥⚰️🪦
