    converting older tc renegade to flintlock??

    Boys, I was in my local gun shop, and spotted 2 older tc renegade 54 cal. percussion rifles. You could tell they were older rifles, that had been used, but didn't look too bad. Price was cheap, $125/each. Got me to thinking[dangerous :grin: ]. Could the lock and drum assembly be removed...

    Blast from the past pt. II

    Here is a bobcat that I shot in the great state of Tennessee. The gun was a TC seneca, .36 cal. The load[as best I remember :hmm: ], was 40 gr. FFg, and a .350 RB. Wish I had that gun back. The tree was about 80+ ft. tall. I lodged the cat with 1 shot. The guide was gonna use that 06 in...

    muzzle loading outfitter

    You probably won't find a trad. ML outfitter that exclusively guides for that. Like someone said, they are in the business to make money, and probably take bow, rifle, and ML hunters. I would bet tho, that if you find someone that understands, and successfully guides bowhunters, he will...

    years ago, I killed a couple of hogs, in Tennessee, with my CVA big bore mtn. rifle[.54 cal]. They will get it done. my load was 100 gr. FFg, a.535 RB, and .010 patch. I would definately go with the .54 for the added ball weight. Both of mine were 1 shot kills, but I would try to avoid the...
