    Bullet for TC 1:38

    You know. At 50 yards the REAL isn't a bad bullet.

    Bullet for TC 1:38

    A guy has to be really careful with these rifles. This one ended up with a cracked stock due to my friends desire to get a short barrel rifle to shoot a 458 gr bullet at 1350 fps. He was shooting T7. Lots of it.

    Bullet for TC 1:38

    I wish this hunt was a 10th of what it used to be. I haven't seen a really good buck in a long time.

    Bullet for TC 1:38

    Here is a White Mountain carbine that uses my paper patched Lee 500S&W bullet. This deer was shot at 125 yards.

    Removing the barrel on a hooked breech rifle for cleaning, yes or no??

    I take my barrels off every time to clean. All of my guns wear peep sights attached to the tang. Some of These guns have maintained the same sight in since 2006. I have seen zero negative impact of taking the barrels off my TC rifles for cleaning.

    Teach me about overpowder wads/cards

    For many years I have recommended over size wads. For the 45 I use 50 cal. For the 50's I use .620 I lightly lube them.

    Traditional sidelock vs NW legal non-traditional front stuffer

    Idaho laws and seasons were the reason I built the Hot Rods. We used to have some fantastic muledeer hunts. We also had some unbelievable elk hunts. Those hunts have tanked, and twice the number of hunters going for the tags. I have never had anyone shoot one of my rifles ever want an inline.

    buying muzzleloaders, if you had to do it all over what would you have bought and not bought

    I have a couple of inlines. We have a hunt here in my area that is a river hunt. My plan was to use my inflatable pontoons. I.got the inlines to use on that hunt so I didn't risk losing one of my good rifles. I have never purchased a ml that I thought I needed to get rid of. I would like to...

    Bend the hammer or set back the barrel ?

    I have bent all of mine. I use a vise to hold them. I heated them with an Oxyacetylene torch. Map gas or map gas with oxygen might turn it red. After I got them red I slipped a pipe nipple over the part that strikes the cap. I moved it any direction I wanted. I also bent the spur that your...

    What’s Your Favorite Long Gun that You own.

    I have 4 Hot Rod TC's. All of them shoot amazing. I've killed record book animals with all of them except my target gun. If I was pressed hard to only pick one to only hunt with forever it would be my 50 double trigger. If I had to pick which I enjoy shooting the most it would be my Hawken.

    Ramrod UNstucker installed at our range

    Applying that much force is baffling to me. Way too many ml rifles have cracked stocks. I just heard of a guy that drove his car over his ram rod then pulled on the gun to pull a ball. Oh well.
