    November Muzzleloader Hunt

    I use a CO2 cartridge to blow out the load, especially if I have any concerns that the charge may have gotten damp. Much easier than pulling the ball. I have been hunting the Pioneer zone for the last 4 years in November. Some years it is almost to pleasant of weather, two years ago we were...

    new-used GPR 54

    Thanks, using .015 patches did the trick. Multiple shots with out having to bear down on the ram rod. Guess .006 makes a significant difference. I will play with different lubes after my hunt. Muzzleloaders do come with their own personality, no (few) short cuts in this game. :wink:

    new-used GPR 54

    Waiting for my .015 patches to arrive. I didn't see .010 patches but will look for them. Hopefully they will arrive by Saturday. I did work the crown but have left the barrel alone until I can try out the new patches. Is there much variability in powder regarding fouling? I did open a new can of...

    new-used GPR 54

    Yes, I am wiping between shots. Just spit on shot two and then some T/C product (forgot the name)managed about ten shoots doing this before going home and scrubbing the barrel. Did wipe until patches were clean. In the afternoon the same pattern repeated its self. I will check to get the right...

    new-used GPR 54

    Thanks, My sense is that the gun has hardly been fired before I got. Nice to know that a little bit of patient work should address the issue. The patches I recovered are actually in pretty good shape. Hope to have it ready to go for the late elk hunt. Once again the help on this forum is...

    new-used GPR 54

    I bought a GPR .54 cal last spring and just got it out last weekend. The rifle is very clean, no scratches with a Peep sight. I have become very comfortable with my T/C Hawken and wasn't expecting any surprises. The first round was easy to load but after that it became almost impossible to load...

    CVA Mountain Rifle

    No, it is traditional, and the searches that I have done have all led to the in line model. It is Hawken looking, I have enjoyed it as it is significantly lighter then my T/C 54. I have been playing with on hikes (Stump shooting, muzzleloader style) and have been curious about it as I haven't...

    CVA Mountain Rifle

    I picked up a 50 cal Mountaineer last fall and have not been able to find any information on that model. (I even tried a search on this forum, I should of just asked) Light weight, single trigger and shoots fine. The guy didn't have manual. Can anyone fill me in a bit on this models history...

    Unethical Hunters???

    Jay54, What Unit (or zone) were you in? Most of the late muzzleloader hunts have ATV restrictions as well. I continually hear of folks using pellets in Idaho as it is difficult for game wardens to check and most of the modern ML seem to have duct tape over that tiny little hole that "exposes"...
