    BP Shoots

    Hey all.. Looking for ideas to get more folks interested in our BP shoots... Our general shooting club includes BP and cowboys shoots... Cowboy is doing ok but BP not so much... If we get 3-4 people at a shoot we're doin good... Any ideas for interesting matches etc would be appreciated.. Thanks!

    New flinter with questions

    Hey all... I've been shooting my .50 cal Hawkins Capper for a couple years now... Decided to add a flinter to my collection.. I've settled on the Lyman GPR in .54 cal kit form so I can brown the barrel and finish the stock as I'd like.. I may add a L&R replacement lock to it if I dont like the...

    Slugging a barrel

    Ok, as the ole Roseanne Roseanadana used to say many years ago on Saterday Night Live "Never Mind!" Appears I dont have any problems at all.. The BP guy I had been talking to had Pietas 3-4 years ago when quality wasnt what it is now I guess.. I used a caliper on both. The .36 measures .369 on...

    Slugging a barrel

    Ok, perhaps I was given the wrong info from a shooter at the range.. He was telling me that a lot of the import C&B revolvers had undersized chambers and that I needed to slug the bore to get the correct size then ream the chambers to match..Is this not correct?? I'm real new to BP so I dont...

    Slugging a barrel

    Hey all... I read this post from last year ( http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/207793/post/423702/hl/slugging/fromsearch/1/#423702 ) about slugging a barrel as I wanna do that to both my new BP pistols.. I have a Pieta 1858 .36 and a .44.. Question is after you slug...

    1858 Remington, 36 or 44

    I got the .36 at Cabelas last week.. Had it and the 44 both in my hands.. Both felt great.. Went with the 36 mainly because of skyrocketing component prices.. .36 is cheaper to shoot.. Tried it out on Sat then did a BP match on Sunday.. No problems knocking down metal plates at 10 yards once I...

    Black Powder/Dallas-Ft. Worth

    I see this post is acouple months old but the Bass Pro shop in Grapevine sells Goex real BP.. It aint cheap at $19.99 a pound but they do have it.. Bought some yesterday.. You have to go to the gun counter and ask for it.. It's in their safe not on the shelf.

Bought a used rifle and all the stuff I need such as spare nipples,good ramrod,patches,capper and even a fancy flask for $347 total which I think is a heck of deal and less than I paid for just 1 Ruger Vaquero for CAS last year.. Course just getting...
