    How long was a rifle or pistol left loaded.

    Since the weapon was kept loaded for use at anytime, how long was it left in that condition? When the time came for removing or cleaning, did they pull the ball and did they save the ball and powder to be used in the re-loading?

    recommend a beginners rifle

    My first black powder rifle was a Cabela's Hawken. Very accurate and fun to shoot. Recommended it to a couple of friends and they still have theirs and use them regularly. I wanted a full-stock rifle and couldn't afford two so it had to go. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. :m2c:
