Thanks again Grimord and Rifleman1776. It's getting closer to maybe getting some smoke from this second barrel. I like the gun and the .54 barrel shoots very good. The gun isn't marked as such, but it was built by Bauska in northern MT.

I see 12ga and 16ga. I assume 16ga is too small, so use 12ga and it fits and seals tighter?

Thanks for the supplies direction. Many are talking bare ball. Do you have a over powder card or wad? or just the bit of tow. and do you use a card or wad over ball to keep it from rolling out. Sorry if this is too simplistic, but I am still at the simple stage on the smooth bore usage. Seem...

No patch? That sounds very loose. Did I read this big right?

I have long had a switch barrel side slapper in.54 and I thought 12ga. Measurements indicate 15ga instead. .678 bore no choke. Can someone please direct me where I can get proper size balls or mold; and cards and other items and suggestions. I am new to smooth bore and shot gun in muzzle loaders.

I will take these. Please pm me where to contact you. Thanks. Don

Yes, I expect it will be a good time. I also envested in a camper this last year so I can spend more time on the mountain. Good timing for good company.

great thread. I also got to go to range with my son today. He expressed interest in going muzzle loader hunting with me last year, so I gave him a .50 traditions with associated shooting supplies for his birthday this year. All his shots were on the 8 inch black at 100 yds with round ball. I...

I would like this little gem. please PM me particulars where to send a cashiers check. Thanks. Don.

I'm no expert. Recently I lubed these same bullets with bees wax and peanut oil mix. The rounded grooves only held the lube if I smeared it on with finger.

I will go for $200 all in.

A little heat sounds like a great idea.

Great helpful feedback. I think my 50 block using half inch drill bit. Came out about.504 inch. Built 54 by using dremel tool sander after half inch drill. So not as consistent sized holes. My lube is 50/50 bees wax and peanut oil. I suppose the block would eventually stop drying it out to...

Thanks for your thoughts. I am hoping someone who has actually attempted this might weigh in.

I'm trying my hand at drilling some holes in 1X2 and 1X3 boards for 50 and 54 cal. bullet blocks. I see prb fitting nicely, but wonder if my conical bullets will/ should stay put in these?

Dang, just a few minutes too late. Second in case deal falls through. good find BigSkyRambler

If that is $300 shipped to my door I will take it. PM to follow.

What is max ball size this will accommodate?
