    Did Panther Primitives go out of business?

    I'm going to retire Dec. 2025, I've been doing equipment maintenance/repair, system builds and electronic assembly since 1976. I told my boss to start looking now because he's going to have a hard time finding someone with my skills and work ethic. A lot of the younger generation 20-40 year olds...

    Trigger problem on Lyman Great Plains .54 Cal.

    I second the Deer Slayer Trigger. I had issues on my GP 50cal, either the set trigger wouldn't hold or the front wouldn't release.

    What are your specific offhand shooting exercises if you do any?

    Practice, practice, practice. Get a decent wood stocked (so it has some weight) pellet rifle with open sights and shoot at home when you can't get to a range. Put a target on the wall shoulder your ML rifle acquire the sight picture, let down wait a minute and repeat.

    I've bought springs from Deer Creek in the past although it's been at least 10 years. Give them a call if they don't have them hopefully they know where to get them.

    Lack of younger shooters?

    Hey Grant, I was one of the old guys at the match Saturday, it was great to have you and your Dad out there. I didn't start shooting BP until my 30's (I'm 64 now) life was just in the way. Both of my sons are now in their 30's although they like to hunt and shoot they have other interests and...

    Capper anyone ?

    I've been using the same Ted Cash oval capper since the early '80's it hasn't caused me any issues in all that time. Dump the caps in and gently shake it side to side with the lid open most caps will right themselves those that don't I just flip over with my patch knife.

    What did I do wrong with GPR

    Too much swabbing between shots. In my early '80's GPR I use Goex 2F, 495 ball and 15 thou pillow ticking. I can go at least 10 shots before running a cleaning patch, when on a woods walk I sometimes go 15 or 20 shots and just clean it when I'm done. I use MAP to clean and the dreaded WD40 to...
