If you're interested in shooting Civil War era weapons in a competitive setting you should definitely make it out there! It's hard to have more fun than shooting muskets in a team competition

Yeah I did a little testing with the new powder recently and found that it's pretty much the same as old Goex with one major caveat: it's less dense than old Goex. If you load with the same charge by weight as old Goex it looks like it burns more or less exactly the same. It gave me the same...

I think Mr. Kibler made some good points here. Some people probably just don't like that a machine is doing it instead of a skilled craftsman and that's fine, to each their own. People get too worked up on this forum too easily. Carving isn't for everyone, I prefer a plain stock myself...

Before you go trying to cone the barrel I have a couple of suggestions. Coning should not be necessary to get this gun to shoot well. We shoot 69 cal military style muzzleloaders over at the NSSA and some of those guys are putting shots in the same holes at 25 yards offhand. Try using the .675...

I've been using this kit from forth armory to roll cartridges and really like it. This masking paper from Home Depot is also good for making cartridges. https://www.forth-armoury.com/cartridge-template-kits.html#/...

If I remember correctly, the historically accurate RB size for military style paper cartridges is .650 so they can load down a fouled barrel. You might find this a bit loose and less accurate unless you plan on firing 40 shots in quick succession. I'd recommend trying the .675 ones you have, but...

I may have missed it, but what is the barrel length? I don't remember seeing it in the listing

I'm planning on being there for the day

Has anyone tried using the NOE Smith Carbine Bullet in an original Smith? I picked up a 4 cavity mold that really cranks them out recently and am curious what powder charge people have been successful with? https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop...vity-pb-smith/

When trying to checkout the only payment options are Zelle and cryptocurrencies. 99.99% certain this is a scam based on this alone. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE

I'll take the 575494, please send me a PM with details.

Hey everyone thanks for the warm welcome. We've been here a couple of months now and love it, Huntsville is waaaay better than Dallas (where we just moved from). I've been to Swan Creek a couple of times and really like it. The staff were friendly and there weren't any crazy restrictive rules...

I'm one of the young ones on here at 25. Been shooting BP for 3 years now

I probably shoot my 58 cal military muskets the most, but if I had to choose one caliber it would be my 36 Kibler SMR since it's so light on powder and lead (and caps). Either that or my 50 cal Smith Carbine, it's a tough choice.

There's one available on Lodgewood Mfg's website right now. It looks like it might need some work, but could be worth looking into

Muzzle-loadershop.com has everything I'm looking for in stock even though it's unavailable everywhere else just like magic! Seriously, don't buy from here, it has a ton of red flags. Anywhere that doesn't allow you to use a credit card, or that has PayPal cryptocurrency or zelle as an option is...

I'm a fan of the skychief load in my cylinder bore. Powder, nitro card, shot, thin over shot card then a sopping wet oily fiber cushion wad on top. With this load you never have to swab during a shooting session and it even makes easy to clean the bore when you get home. Added bonus if you use...

I sure wish I was sitting on a stash like that. Let me know if you need someone to take it off your hands.

I'll take this one too, payment sent. Please ship to the same address from our previous conversation.

I'll take this if it's still available. I'll send you a PM with my new address in the morning
