    Sears and Roebuck .45 Kentucky Rifle Pictures

    Thanks to all. Like I said I'm excited to give it a try. Going to a sporting clay shoot tomorrow, and would take it with me to the range to shoot afterwards, but I dont have all my stuff yet. I guess I'll just have to try it out in the back yard later. :grin: :grin:

    Sears and Roebuck .45 Kentucky Rifle Pictures

    I posted that this is my first BP rifle and I finally got it finished. I am waiting on my accessories so I can shoot it. I took some pictures and opened a photobucket account so I could show it off. I’m pretty excited!!

    Getting ready to shoot! Which cap and powder?

    The short starter I ordered is made out of wood, so it is an option. Went to Bass Pro and they were out of caps. They said they didn't have any black powder either, but they did have Pyrodex, 777, and the American Pioneer Powder. One of my older gun shops didn't have either one. So far today...

    Getting ready to shoot! Which cap and powder?

    I ordered a short starter but patches are cheap so I'll buy some other sizes in case I need them. I'll get a flask as well. Makes sense.

    Getting ready to shoot! Which cap and powder?

    I'll see what bass pro has. I know of a couple of 40+ year old gun shops around here as well. Im thinking one of them would have it.

    Getting ready to shoot! Which cap and powder?

    Will do on the patches. 10 or 11 caps should work. I'm sure I can find other powders somewhere around Dallas but should I use 2F,or 3F, or something else. I truly have no idea.

    Getting ready to shoot! Which cap and powder?

    I got my 70's Sears and Roebuck .45 Kentucky rifle kit put together, and am gathering my stuff to try it out. Went to a Gander Mountain, and Academy yesterday but they had nothing for the .45, so I went home and ordered the following. Hornaday 440 round balls .10 lubed patches powder measure...

    New guy with 1st BP rifle

    I checked and it does only have 4 grooves. I don't know any BP shooters so I'll probably pick up a few different ones when the time comes. At least I got something to go by. Just got through polishing the brass and the stock has been stained and is drying as I type. Turns out it is missing...

    New guy with 1st BP rifle

    Thanks a lot. Great info and now I know how to get started. I haven't bought any of the peripherals yet so I'll have to get me brush to figure out the twist rate. I've seen in some posts they are told to check the patch after firing. What should you be checking for, what should it look like?

    New guy with 1st BP rifle

    New to the forum and the world of muzzle loading, and of course I have questions. I have acquired a Sears .45 Kentucky Long Rifle Kit. It’s still in the box and all the parts are there. I’ve done a little research and found they were made by the Miroku Company in Japan, and they were sold in...

    As the title says I'm new here. I am a long time hunter and shooter, but never owned or shot a muzzleloader.
