In dim light a fully dilated pupil is 8 mm. Anything less than that size is restricting light coming into your eye. I seem to shoot most of my stuff right at last minute of the day when light is terrible. I love using a peep sight for both hunting and target work. Just like any sight, there...

Are you recoil sensitive? A .50 cal slug at 460 grains is not an overly heavy bullet. I know elk can be a tough animal to kill but think of all the millions of bison killed with a 45-70 and they can be a very tough animal to kill. How many grains of powder are you thinking of? What kind...

I would go with a .40. Anything you use will work. Fleener

I think I am good to go fort the Creedmoor 150! I need to start practicing........ Brent is on his way to CA right now to pick up a new Golden Retriever pup. Fleener

Bill Those look great. Took my mom out to lunch last week and ran into a little bar and grill that had these as their lunch special, and they were great. Fleener

I use a Waage pot. You have to ask for the bullet casters model. Great pot Fleener

If the screw is too long, simply make it shorter. Cut some off. Fleener

take a .22 rifle with you to the range. Every once and a while shoot the .22 after the flintlock. You will see if you have developed a flinch. Fleener

If you can check it as luggage that IMO would be best. Kinda all depends on how much checked luggage you will have. If you are bringing meat home, how do you plan on doing that? Take a look at your airlines checked luggage rules. I recently flew with a bag that was 98 lbs. Cost $240...

Tell us about the gun. Is it new? Did you build it? Who's barrel? Etc. Fleener

The hazardous materials fee is not required by any government agency. That fee is something that shippers of hazardous materials arbitrarily charge the customer for the additional requirements of shipping hazardous materials, and it is not required. IMO at $24 a tin, shipping and HM fees are...

I have bought from them, and never been to an auction in person. I rank them as the best aution house for accuratly describing their guns for sale. They do a great job of describing the bores, which Rock Island never does. Fleener

Why do people find this odd that Amazon would be selling these? Also, with free shipping, why do you think that they are not transporting them correctly? At $24 a tin you are paying for shipping. Fleener

I heard of one guy that talked to his outfitter and the guy assured him that he black powder. Once he got there he had a subsitute. I always figured I would have them take a picture of the can and send it to me. Fleener

Just sent you a PM for your email address. I will send you some pictures. Dont want to get the mods excited by showing them here. Fleener

I shoot a origianal .73 cal RB with 86 grains of 2 F powder. The ball weights 580 grains. I have hunted with it twice. Knocked a deer off its feet, it got up and ran 50 yards and died. Shot a black bear with it in May. The bear ran 20 yards before it piled up. My point is that most...

I did use a modern rifle. I flew into and hunted out of Baker Lake Nunavut Canada. The only way into Baker Lake is by air or water and I dont beleve that there is a single pound of black powder in the villiage. Most of the hunting is done by the locals and they simply don't use ML's. I...

Here is an original Alexander Henry .451 double rifle. I also have a couple .58 cal contemporary ML doubles. Hunting with an original is more enjoyable for me. Kinda like hunting behind my Epagneul Breton. The tough thing with hunting in remote areas is getting powder. I recently went on...

What are you doing for powder in Africa? Fleener

nothing says you have to shoot a heavy load in it. Condition of the bore and depth and number of pits is a big thing. I shoot and own quite a few originals, shotguns and rifles. I dont know that I saw what cal. is it? Conical or round ball? I love hunting and shooting old guns. Whacked...
