    2019 Alberta Elk Hunt

    Great story and Im glad you were successful. The Muzzleloading Magazine could run it in two parts if they were really interested. I have seen this in our Primitive Archer magazine a few times. I used to do hunts like yours in the Gila of New Mexico with muzzleloader rifle and cap/ball revolvers...

    250-yard Flintlock Shooting

    Some of us went to Raton, at the NRA Whittington Center in the Early 80's for a Levi Garrett Territorial Match. After shooting on the line all day on paper targets they had some steel targets for fun and money shoots that the BPC shooters used. We were banging and knocking over some bears and...

    revolver bullets----v

    Tom, what are you wanting to do with this bullet? Are you wanting to hunt or just shoot targets. You never said. On hunting the bullet is great. On targets and plinking, roundball is the way to go for less recoil and ease of loading and bullets per pound. I have been shooting the Ruger Old Army...

    Billy Watson knife

    They are very nice knives. Nit Wit, You did good on your trade. Trade Knife J, I really like the shape of the handle and angled bolster. I would have traded two of the Patriot pistols for that knife. The deep sheath is a real plus with a nice knife protecting the grip. Mike

    I can try. Not to good at that. It is spotless. Smooth and zero rust. I keep Breakfree oil on the barrel and in the barrel. I have been using Breakfree for at least 35 years on all of my muzzleloaders, when hunting and shooting competition. The only reason for selling is I'm getting all of the...

    What is the oddest lead item you've made ammunition from?

    Got some lead sheets from old power plants that we were salvaging they had 36"x 10' sheets rolled up stacked everywhere. And they had a lot of Babbit ingots. They made all of their own bearings on the giant submarine engines that ran the power plant generators. These plants were put in around...

    Cleaning mix?

    I have been shooting my muzzleloaders, flintlock rifles, flintlock pistols, shotgun, Zouave, and BP Cartridge for about 44 years. The gentleman I started shooting with and learned a lot from gave me some cleaner in a plastic bottle with the ingredients written on the bottle. I have been using it...

    Extending flint life

    When shooting competition I will keep an eye on my flints and when I feel I'm not getting a good shower of sparks, I just tap the top front of the flint, with a downward motion with my small brass hammer I keep on a string tied to my shooting bag strap. It chips away a few fine pieces of the...
