    2.5 oz of shot

    Also wanted to say, I got this idea from people loading up modern shotgun shells with a bunch of shot...... However, I know that there is most likely a big difference in pressure from black powder to smokeless. I am not very educated on the reloading thing so hence me posting this. I just...

    Fowler kit gun Jim Chambers?

    Thanks for the advice, I think I am going to take a step back and look for one that is already built. That link that RC put up just scared the heck out of me. I would not feel good at all about building a project like that. I was thinking some sanding and maybe some file work. As for the rest...

    Fowler kit gun Jim Chambers?

    Hello, I am a new member here. I know a good bit about shooting and hunting with a muzzle loader. However, I don't know anything about putting one together. With that being said, I was wondering how hard it would be to put a Jim Chambers Fowler kit together? I really want to get it but like I...
