    .72 Cal Kodiak Double Rifle Loads?

    Thanks to all for the responses. I think my buddy will start out with some .690" balls and pillow ticking patches, and then work his way up to the .715" balls and .010" patches. I am really looking forward to shooting his new rifle, it should be a real kick (literally). Thanks again!

    .72 Cal Kodiak Double Rifle Loads?

    A friend has just taken delivery of a new Pedersoli Kodiak Double Rifle in .72 caliber. The only load information we can find for this rifle is DGW's published load of 80 grains of FFg behind a .710" ball. All we can find on-line are .715 balls. So can anyone recommend loads for this rifle...

    Nipple on Pedersoli Hawken Rifle

    Wow! I have a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken in.54 cal. The maple stock on my rifle is absolutely beautiful. A shooting buddy has the same rifle and his is even better looking. I am surprised that you had a nipple failure on your Pedersoli. I have found Perersoli's quality is usually as...

    As a follow-up to my earlier post, don't even try to file that front sight. Go to Dixie Gun Works and order Part #EP0405, the Kentucky silver blade front sight. I installed this in place of my already significantly filed down front sight on my Cabela's Blue Ridge (Pedersoli Frontier) flintlock...

    I have a flintlock version of the Cabela's Blue Ridge (Pedersoli Frontier) in .54 cal. My shooting buddy has the same rifle. First time out with his he was shooting FEET low at 100 yards. To lower the front sight, we filed and filed and barely got on paper. Then I purchased mine and we had...

    Newbie Question

    Thank you all for the helpful responses. I am going to buy one of the "clamp-on" type tube/adaptor cleaning rigs for this rifle. But now knowing that I can easily remove the lockplate asembly (and I see that I actually should remove it for a good cleaning) makes the prospect of cleaning this...

    Newbie Question

    Hello all: I have gradually worked my way backwards in time from smokeless to BP Cartridges, then to percussion cap rifles and pistols, and now I have a brand new Cabela's Blue Ridge/Pedersoli Frontier Flintlock in .54 caliber. I have a newbie (to flintlocks) question that has to do with...

    what size ball to use in rocky mountain hawken

    I also just obtained a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken in .54 caliber. It is beautiful piece of work with that maple stock! I shot this rifle for the first time last weekend with a buddy who has had his (same rifle) for several months. He had a stuck ball when he first tried to load a .530"...

    What is a "musket"?

    Hello all: I am a new member of this forum, my interest in black powder firearms is increasing. I started with a cap and ball Walker-Colt replica and then moved on to BP cartridge loads in my replica (Perdersoli) 45-70 1874 Sharps, and my replica (Uberti) 45 long colt model P. I also just...
