I was raised eating scrapple & now many decades later I live down south where they’ve never heard of it & I miss it several times a week

You just confirmed what Rock Home Isle said.

RHI - NAILS IT!

Ummm..... Crow - its whats for supper at towgunners. Good on ya sir! I've had that meal a time or two in my life too. It ain't ever tasty, but it is good for us all.

Thats cool! I love the Tingles & ya don't run across them very often. The .40 Tingle pistol I had to back out on last yr was the first one I'd ever seen or heard of in .40. I had only heard of them & the CVA copy of them in .44 or .45. I think about that .40 from time to time & I have to refrain...

I was raised in Md & Hominy & grits were both served pretty regularly in our house while growin up. My mother is German & she’d make them with milk, butter & sugar ( which we all loved ). My grandma bein from Wva mostly made Hominy for supper fried in bacon grease with salt & pepper. We all...

That’s right, everything IS better with Bacon

Beautiful rifles, thanks for your post

Thanks Rock Home Isle, I'm glad you like the thread. Thanks for your post & pic, sweet lookin flinter.

This is true, but I've read & heard a bunch of times that the .40 fast twists are not recommended for novice muzzleloader shooters. That doesn't apply to anyone " disliking it " bc only ppl that could not make their .40 work for them ever had anything bad to say.

I like the .45 more than I ever did the .50 & have become a huge .40 lover in that last 3yrs. Lasy yr there were 2 Tingles on GB for auction, 1-.45 & 1-.40. I really wanted that .40 but it went out of my price range.

The .50 1:28 is a good twist that serves a pretty wide range of projectiles at varying velocoties. Its not " great " but it covers a braod spectrum of .50 cal usage. But it doesn't belong on the same stage as the 1:24 twist. I think the 1:24 twist is to the .50 what the 1:18 is to a .45. If I...

Thanks for your post, great write up & info. The pics of your beautiful flinters is impressive. Heres a little food for thought on your first rifle you discussed & are considering sending it to Bob Hoyt. If you want to keep it in .40 he can over bore & sleeve that barrel & nothing on the...

Thanks for your post & info Thats awesome, you're welcome.

Thanks for your post & info

Thanks for your post & the links to a cpl of your stories. I enjoyed reading them both.

SWEEEEET!

What weight are your bullets? I'm getting a pretty fast twist on the one I'm building - prob in 1:32, to shoot light - 140gr 150gr & 160gr custom sized jacketed & cast 10mm pistol bullets out of up to 1800fps.

Very cool!

Thanks for your post & the pics of your beautiful custom percussion sidekick. Perhaps some more details about your gun would be really nice - twist, projectiles, powder & charge etc.
