    First Flinter

    I really like all types of muzzleloader s. I have tried. I have been shooting percussion since 1996. I liked the idea of shooting flinter for awhile I wanted to build one but not enough funds. My goal is to hunt with mine when I'm proficient.

    First Flinter

    Yes it was from Deer Creek. It shot well but it needed some clean up when I got it. The brass had some severe tarnish. It was new in box but the box had been handled. Mine was 2000 date of mfg. All that said the price was worth it. It also had a broken screw head on the patch box but they...

    First Flinter

    I shoot my first Flinter yesterday. :grin: I bought a LH cva St. Louis rifle and finally got out and shot it. It is a little different than percussion. I found that I need a few things too priming horn/flask. I also experimented with 777 in the flash pan even though everybody here said it...

    Melting lead

    I like my lee bottom pour i got. I've poured a few hundred rounds of different calibers no problems. My biggest problem is a lead source. :hmm:

    Powder choice

    The only other source i have around here is the internet and by the time you tack on the hazmat and handling fee it is close to that unless i buy more than 3 pounds. i just dont get that much shooting time. :surrender:

    Powder choice

    I just bought some at bass pro yesterday 29.98 a pound. They keep it behind the counter. I find it ironic that they don't sell traditional rifles anymore.

    some beginner's lessons

    I have found its good to make a kit to bring to the range that has basic stuff range rod, jag, patches, cleaning supplies, and a bullet puller. If your like me my range is a little bit of a drive from my house. Its no fun to turn around and drive home. :hatsoff:
