    to 58 or not to 58, that is the question

    I'm a fan of .58 - when results matter, I don't shoot enough to have results - so certainly defer to the wonderful people here who know their firearms and capabilities. As a child, chip on my shoulder from being on the side that lost the War Between the States, I always wanted something with...

    This practice is a mandatory safety / public relations rule for the bow (only) hunters in our suburban county deer control program.

    Do you prefer Real Black Powder or a BP substitute?.........Why?

    Plus 1 with an exclamation point ! I have a data point of one - YMMV. I got into muzzleloading "late" as I had a budding interest in hunting and wanted to take advantage of our two week muzzleloading season. I also have a passing interest in the War Between the States, and it's an emotional...

    .58 cal bullets supply

    My repro Richmond in .58 (0.577) is 1 in 72" twist. 65 gn ffG puts Minié in the black. Ed Heathwaite dba Maplewood Bullets in Brattleboro, VT is another good source for made-for bullet orders. He uses flat-rate shipping with the USPS, keeping rates low.

    .50 or .58? Mostly target, some hunting?

    Totally agree with the want. Had an interest in the War Between the States growing up, and when circumstances allowed, I purchased a reproduction Richmond 1863. Sine I was in the neighborhood, I also acquired along the way a TC pre-fire Scout in .58, and then a TC Firehawk in .58. All of...

    Thompson Center Warranty

    Let's remember that T/C factory suffered a huge fire -- almost like a geological boundary where the fossils above differ from the those below, many T/C models trace their end to that event. I have both a .58 Firehawk and .58 Scout carbine - both pre-fire firearms. Both had problems when I...
