That is true last time at the range my flint was getting bad and kept misfiring. So I changed the flint and the first couple weren’t so good but now it’s fine. I need to make a pressure flaker

I glad i found this old thread it answered a lot of questions for me. Lots of information. I have shot percussion a lot but this flint shooting can be trying at times especially when there is nobody at my range that knows anything about muzzleloading. Thanks for the wisdom.

I got a pedersoli Blue Ridge from cabelas for $425.00 out of the bargin cave on a close out its a good gun for low entry price.

And in my opinion that is the closed minded thought that is killing traditional muzzleloading. Because somebody doesn’t have a custom built gun they should not be included in something that interests them. I’m not saying that a inline should be included in PC stuff or anything like that. This...

I agree with you on the NRA mine just expired and I'm questioning rejoining or go with another group. I like Muzzleloader magazine it's pretty good more like what you said muzzle blasts was.

So is this a pedersoli thing ? Because I have a similar problem with my .54 Cal Frontier Rifle. I have no problems with my other .54 investarms rifle but that Frontier rifle drives me to pull my hair out.

I just joined with a digital membership. Which is a good deal if your comfortable reading on a tablet or such. This is the first time I have been a member. I have been shooting traditional style muzzleloaders since the mid nineties. I’m concerned with how it’s getting harder to find MZ items in...

I put lube over the ball when it gets a little sticky but usually that’s after I’ve shot a bunch. As somebody said above don’t use petroleum based lube the fouling likes to stick to it.

I have both steel and brass. The brass are pretty but loading up a steel frame is fun. I let the brass turn. I have in the past cleaned my brass with brasso but now i dont worry about it.

I cast my own balls if your shooting a lot it's worth it. I shoot about once a week. I think mixing the wheel weights with pure lead you would be ok. 20GR or less of powder. I cast all my bullets for all my BP guns now. The initial buy in is pricey but after that if you find a lead source its...

So I shot it yesterday and it fires. It shots a little high(11") and to the left (8") this was at 30'. I think the spring maybe a little weak or my nipple i put in is not correct I used one of my rifle nipples. I had a couple non fires on first strike. I found pushing the cap down with a dowel...

Yes there is a stirrup

I will have to pull the lock out which I probably should have done and inspect it. I believe it says Spain and that’s it on the barrel I made the jukar assumption.

Well got it home soaked the nipple with Kroil and got the nipple out. There was nothing in it. Ran some hot water through it then soaked it in some WD40. Then cleaned it up. I think it will be good. Has some specks of character but other wise ok.

I bought this used and the rod is sticking out about a half inch when in the barrel. When I pull it out marked it shows up about at the rear sight when I lay it next to the barrel. I was hesitant to buy it but I did it any way for 20.00.

when you put the loading rod down the barrel does it go all the way in if it is empty?

My apologies. I thought you were the seller. I guess I was tired that night. lol

Just curious did you not like these for a reason I have been thinking about getting ones like this for my cap and balls.

Welcome from NOCO.

I have both and like them equally. I think it boils down to the feel in your hand. I really like my 1858 Remington to. I would suggest watching some of the duelist 1954's Youtube videos.
