It is very good . I have been burning a lot the last few years and can't complain.

I have been shooting Graff's fffg by Wano ( Scheutzen ) for the last few years and it has performed well in both my Lyman GPR 54 and my "Cap and Ball" pistols. I was able to find a pound of GOEX a while back but haven't tried it yet. I don't have any experience with any other black powder but...

I had very good luck over the years with my Thompson Renegade 54 using 110grs of Pyrodex RS and a standard Thompson Maxi ball which as I recall is 430 grains. Today I use FFFG black powder ( usually Graff) . The maxiball kills with authority and is ideal for a thompson rifle. I have shot some...

I didn't mention l have 5 cap and ball pistols. They gobble most of the powder annually.

Well when I got back in to muzzle loading in 2017 I started with Graff fffg cause I wasn't sure what I really needed. Earlier in my hunting career I used a TC renegade ,maxi balls ,and Pyrodex RS .This time around I was looking for a more traditional experience. So I bought a Lyman GPR 54 ...

They walk through the camp regularly. I'll be with the boy's that is all that matters.

Thanks all !!!!!

Well I had all next week scheduled for deer hunting with my son and fell down the attic stairs Monday night and fractured my Tibia. I'm am now in a full leg splint which immobilizes my entire left leg and unable to walk. If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any at all. My son wants to...

I've never hunted elk , however wild pigs are everywhere. Most I encounter are 300+ pounds . I find 110grs to be very accurate in my gun. Regarding a trail of black residue in the snow I wouldn't know cause we rarely have any.

I have a Lyman GPR 54 (1 in 60" twist). I can just barely load two shots without swabing . So I swab between each shot. I swab with 70% Isopropyl alcohol. This gun only has about 75 rounds through it. I am hoping that this will improve. Currently I am loading a Hornaday .530 ball, .015" patch ...

For me when I'm walking around in the hills with my traditional gear it is a Lyman GPR 54 percussion and a Pietta 1858 Remington . I have a brand new Uberti 1860 Colt Army but I have never shot it. Seems like I always grab the Remington.

I have a 54 percussion and decided to get a flint . I got on thier website and nothing is shown. What happened? Looks like Investarms is keeping the GPR alive with the Gimmer Rifle but you can't find one.

I have a Lyman GPR in 54 with a 1 in 60" twist I get 2" groups at 50 yards when I do my part. That's about what I expect. Hornaday Swaged .530 ball 110 grs Graff fffg .015 cotton patch Lubed with TOW Mink Oil Rem or Cci cap I bought this gun to hunt at close range in the thick woods of West...

I am considering buying one of these kits in a Flintlock in 54 Caliber . I currently have the Lyman GPR percussion Version. I have 2 questions: 1. I hate the fishbelly stock and I would like to get rid of that if I do the build . Is there enough wood here to do this . This would probably...

Sturmkatze I don't care what people say . However in this case I ask if people were having problems with Bore Butter and Wonder Lube and got some very interesting answers that seemed reasonable. Since I am always trying to make my experience better I took their advice . Besides I am always...

I live near Memphis TN and none of my buddies shoot or hunt with traditional Muzzleloaders . Me and my LYMAN GPR are always alone . I am a member of the Midsouth Sports Shooting Association ( a gun club near Memphis) and I shoot there regularly. They have a monthly shoot but I have never made...

I bought some TOW mink oil about a year ago and just shot it for the first time about a month ago. It shot about the same as TC Bore Butter and Wonder Lube do in my Lyman 54 GPR ball shooter. I am getting away from TC bore butter and wonder lube because of the negative posts on this forum...

Great job on that build

I bought the GPR 54 about 6 years ago new . Good solid choice. If you've found a used one in good shape you should get good service out of it

Yes that is Mink Oil . I have always used Bore Butter but decided to give Mink Oil a try. The crud in the bore seems to be a little easier to remove than with Bore Butter. I am going to try Crisco and Olive oil as well. I read on this site somewhere that Bore Butter is actually Petroleum based...
