^^^^ Nothing better than a cold crisp morning sitting against a big oak tree watching and listening to the world wake up! Probably the best soul food one could wish for, and miss the most when you can't be out there!

goggles4u will tint several colors, give them a look, maybe you'll find something worth trying. I need to get an appointment and new prescription myself to update mine. I prefer yellow now because of the extra daylight you get early and late, I figure at the shortest days of deer season I get...

Ed... stress and caffeine! If I'm going to the range early in the day, I avoid coffee until I get home. I know for a fact that coffee tends to mess with my eyes and even through a scoped rifle, I am not as accurate. Stress is a big one, figure blood pressure etc. and it is very easy to have...

My Seneca (15xxx serial) likes 30g of 3F although I keep trying to convince it that 20g is plenty :) I use .350 balls and started with a .010 patch when I got the rifle but the .015 is the best accuracy at this point. The barrel was not shot much at all from what I can tell and had a couple...

I am by no means an expert. I took a standing shot at a full sized paper deer target at 50 yards last year with my .50 flintlock... I walked up and promptly circled the hole and wrote "NEVER do this!!!!". I was well low and hit the brisket from a behind the shoulder aim point. With that gun...

Page 8 of the 2024/25 Digest: "Camouflage fluorescent orange may satisfy orange regulations when 250 square inches of safety material is required if the orange content is at least 250 square inches. When a hat containing 100 square inches of orange is specified, the cap must be solid...

Never good to generalize. The good dealers far outweigh the idiots, but there are plenty of idiots. I recently bought a .45 Seneca from a Florida dealer. I emailed him to request he remove the barrel from the stock before shipping. He called me... to ask how to remove the barrel as he had...

Wow. Every guy with a different experience by brand. I guess a lot goes into how much powder loaded with what projectile and patch etc. All those variables coming into play from guy to guy and gun to gun. ? ? I have shot Goex since the early-90s and only in the last couple years tried...

ETipp.... what temp do you smoke them at? I have a tall/box smoker, using propane. You doing 150? 175? How long?

There is only one way to fry anything.... bacon grease and a cast iron skillet. At least that's how my grandmother did it and it is non-negotiable that there is a better way. Of course, you must store that bacon grease and any other left-overs in a Cool-Whip container so that the grandkids...

I have used Triple 7 in 3F grade quite successfully. BP was hard to get in late 2020 and 2021 and the local store had a bottle so I bought it. I had used T7 pellets in my Pro Hunter and they were great. You might want to experiment with that if you can get it. I found that a 70 grain Goex...

I have a Scout Flint in .50 I built from a kit. Fast lock, hole-on-hole with 60g 3F and a .490 ball and .010 patch. I added a 'Bullseye' rear ramp sight and green fiber front sight... failing eyes and focus issues. I have often considered getting the .32 percussion version for small game but...

More for a point of reference to help others with some basic information on this serial number. A new-to-me Seneca Serial #152xx I assume fairly early in the production run. Best bore/rifling measurements I can get is .4515 My math tells me rifle groove depth of .0075 Twist rate was a...

Great info here and in a couple much older threads. I just ran into the same issue with a 'new to me' .45 Seneca. I could not show you pics of 15 of the 18 shots and the three that I could show you are nothing but black carbon as they burned up to almost nothing. Several times I had to go...

Have one in Percussion! Not in 'rough' shape on the inside, but it was messy on the outside and I have tried to re-blue it and well, that first go didn't go so well. I was about to strip it down again and start over. It has a few minor dings etc. PM me if you're interested.

... an additional thought on the cut patch/flyer... Do you get the cut patch and the flyer on the same shot? Is it possible when starting the ball, it is rolling off-center from the patch? I have had that issue and Jim at Fort Chambers actually mentioned that to me to be mindful of...

Recent experience with my .32 Cherokee echos some of the comments above. I started out with .010 patches but felt they loaded too easily so I have been trying thicker. I normally shoot a .315 ball and the .010 and the .015 are a bit too tight. I tried .018 and they tore on starting, as in...

Here's a taunting pic... from my trail cam where I put out Big Tine mix... In PA, no season until mid-September. I've had as many as 11 in a single frame, along with Cardinals, Blue Jays, Doves, rabbits and even deer at the same time. A hen turkey frequents now and then as well, The raccoons...

It is for a matching variant of this current ebay item: TC Round barrel scope base As noted above, you could also use a peep sight like Skinner offers: Skinner's Lo-Pro Peep sight

To paraphrase my 2.5 year old grand-daughter... "All of them". Renegade flints in .50 and .54 Cherokee in .32... if I could only keep one of them it would be this PA Hunter Carbine, drool every time I touch it Seneca in .45 I've bought and sold a few various TCs as well. The Hawkens are about...
