    A newbie with a Charleville

    Houndog - do you shoot a patch or paper cartridge with that .675? I'm seriously leaning towards 'rolling my own' as suggested. Read somewhere to dip the ball end in beeswax/tallow as a lube. Anyone try taht? Would love to see some pics. Thanks 44

    OK, you helped me get going with a T/C .50 now I need some advice on this .69 - I'm using pillow ticking for patch and need to know what size ball and load to moderate plinking. I'm guessing I need some 3f for the pan and 2f for the load..? Thanks for being patient with me. Here's a pic of my...

    What am I getting myself into? Did Hudson Bay trade tampons? "Hey I just scored a 3 point extra absorbant wool"

    Argh!

    I'm new, have yet to fire my first BP gun, but wonder if a 60LB test line with a trebble hook on the end would pull it out? You could drop it down, nuzzle it in the brush with your ramrod.. Just a thought, from a newbie. Take it with a grain of salt 44

    OK - So I got these old trade guns..

    I dont know what a patch box is but it slides out revealing a plenum in the stock..I'm guessing you store cloth or stuff in it? I'll pull out the calipers tonight and measure some bores. Any ideas what dimensions were common? 44

    OK - So I got these old trade guns..

    Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. I'm very anxious to try muzzleloading. My post wasn't intended to sell them, more to share the excitement. I'm in Siskiyou County in northern California. Anyone close by? 44 Merry Christmas

    OK - So I got these old trade guns..

    Answered a newspaper ad locally and the guy had these left over from a gun sale. He wanted 20 dollars each and I bought all four. All smoothbores, don't know what caliber (haven't measured yet) and even if they just end up as wallhangers I thought I'd share them with you. Hopefully get some...
