    Black Powder or Substitute

    RC, She has several rifles and pistols. She is with me at the range at least once every two months so I am already spliting ammo. When I load ammo, I am loading for two. MSW, I think, I am already on that watch list considering how much reloading supplies and specialty ammo that I have been...

    Black Powder or Substitute

    RC, I am in Castro Valley, CA. The range is only 15 minutes from the house. This can be a good and bad (cost of ammo, the better half want some quality time and more gun cleaning supplies). Dirk, I will PM you for details. Joe

    Black Powder or Substitute

    I reside in California, a state that is banning anything and everything good or bad for you. The state is slowly choking law abiding gun omners' constitutional right to bear arm and giving criminals more and more legal measures to stay out of jail. We pay tax to support the lifers sitting in...

    Rifle Recommendation

    Good recommendation. I do not have to work today, so I will make my way to the local library and browse. The advice from forum members were excellent. My decision went from off the shelf rifle and now to a custom rifle, but I guess that is money that will be well spent. Joe

    Rifle Recommendation

    I have narrowed the field to an Early Rustic Arms Colonial or Cumberland rifle in the white. I should request for a swamped barrel, chambers lock and in .50 caliber. What else am I missing beside the type of wood?

    Rifle Recommendation

    Thank you for a brief break down of the different types of period rifles. I have much to learn about this class of shooting and do not mind picking up a few books here and there about this subject. I have around 650.00 to spend on a rifle and another 200.00 for supplies and accessories so I...

    Rifle Recommendation

    Thank you all for the recommendations and they are great. Maybe I should have put a little more detail in my post. I will be using the rifle to punch paper and steel targets at 50 to 75 yards. I would go after small games when I can handle the rifle with ease. I would like to put money one...

    I have been shooting for 15 yrs. now and have gone through the stages of tactical shoting to cowboy action and now black powder. I have shot a friend's Lyman Trade model rifle but would like to purchase and earlier model flintlock (late 1700' and early 1800')for myself. I have looked at...
