    20ga fowler - an all around muzzleloader?

    historically accurate no question. what about performance in the field or on the firing line? is there a noticeable delay from flash pan to main charge ignition?

    20ga fowler - an all around muzzleloader?

    now that you mention vent liners what is the general consensus here - vent liner or no vent liner?

    Beginner's first build in the planning stages

    I got Turpin's DVD and am just about ready to go for my first build. I was thinking about TOW's TVLLE. Is that the second pic? Looks sweet.

    New Ped Rocky Mountain Hawken on Sale, or...?

    Great advice fellas. I always liked the way the PA long rifle looked in pictures but when I finally decided to spend the money I drove over to Cherry's and held one right out of the box. From a bench or sticks it shoots as good as I can aim. Standing off hand, it's a looong rifle. "Geometry" &...

    New Ped Rocky Mountain Hawken on Sale, or...?

    I've been looking at that for a few weeks now but not sure if it will do the job - I want to get into competitive shooting, locally. I have a flintlock long rifle and I love it but common sense tells me I should look for something shorter - with a center of balance closer to my body - so I can...

    My thoughts on Mink Oil patch lube

    Nice. Questions: Are those precut patches? Why the difference in patch color?

    My Hawken made some smoke

    you know how to shoot. I like your pic skills, especially your uh, how you frame your pics. what are you using for camera?

    Working up a 100 yd load

    Appreciate the feedback fellas. I'll adjust sights to move the group left; use a 65 gr load & put up one of them big targets at 100 yards and see what happens. Healthy Happy New Year to ya'll.

    Working up a 100 yd load

    My aiming point on the last target - the 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper was center of the paper - the only thing I could see at 100 yards. I think that group tells me I still need to adjust to move the group left but maybe leave the elevation alone since I'm already 6" high at 55 yds. I think I'll...

    Working up a 100 yd load

    I forgot to mention I dry wipe between shots. my instincts tell me to add 5 gr but I'm a rookie. the book says 90 gr 2F is max load.

    Working up a 100 yd load

    I use 68 because that's the 1.5 x cal rule of thumb starting point. I can always get 3 touching. the other 2 I attribute to "operator error". So I should adjust to shoot high center at 55 yds & see what happens at 108? OK thanks

    Working up a 100 yd load

    I want to be accurate at 100 yds with my new .45 cal PA long rifle. 68 gr 3f load .445 ball .010 Ox-lube patches. I'm using this "billboard" size target because I'm old :grin: The top pic is my sight picture at 55 yards. My aiming point is the big red spot. The 1st group - the upper right group...

    Pedersoli Scout for first flinter

    Aye, hickory it is.

    Pedersoli Scout for first flinter

    Thanks. No luck at the depots. They had poplar & oak. I coulda tied the poplar in knots. Oak was too short. This rod is exactly 41 13/16" x 5/16" dia. Guess I'll have to buy two from TOW, a wood one for show and a glass one for the field.

    Pedersoli Scout for first flinter

    not sure what it's made of but it split like #2 pine. I'm going down to the depot now to look for a kiln dried dowel to replace it using the ends off the original.

    Pedersoli Scout for first flinter

    [/URL][/img] He's not kidding about cutting yourself on a flint. I had my new Pedersoli PA .45 out for the first time yesterday. I cut my thumb on a flint-spent half the time trying to stop from bleeding all over my stuff. Take bandaids with you. Also, I brought a range rod with me but I used...
