    Black Mountain Magnum

    You ain't kidding about hang on to your wallet! I guess I'll just buy a muzzleloader shotgun instead. Thanks.

    Black Mountain Magnum

    My only problem with my Black Mountain Magnum is that it isn't very accurate with bigger charges. Sure it will handle up to 150 grain charges, but I can't get groups worth a darn at anything over 100. I've been looking to no avail for the shotgun barrel that was once available for it and the...

    Black Mountain Magnum

    Yes, with musket caps. I also have good luck with CCI Magnum #11's.

    Black Mountain Magnum

    I have on in .50, 1 in 28 twist with a walnut stock. It shoots the Hornady Great Plains bullets pretty well with 85 grains of 777. I like it but I mostly shoot my .54 TC Hawken now. I'm sure I'll come back around to it though.

    No Excuses NEW 54 cal 485 gr bullet Reviews?

    Just read through this thread. I'm going on a hunt for Nilgai here in South Texas and I'll be using by .54 TC Hawken. I bought some No Excuses 54's. The shot pretty decent with 85 grains of FF but the slugs felt a little loose in my barrel. I'm afraid that the bullet won't stay seated. I'll try...

    Question about duplex loads

    Quick question for some folks who may have done this before. In light of the Goex plant closure, I may start using a duplex load with my remaining BP along with some type of substitute that I might be able to more readily acquire. I assume that normally one would load a base of BP and the sub...

    .54 Caliber Great Plains Bullet Source??

    Thanks for posting that. I just bought 5 boxes. That should last me a long time since I normally shoot patched round balls in that caliber. My 54 TC Hawken shoots those really well. I have a .50 TC Black Mountain Magnum that likes the 50 caliber versions of those too.

    Brass Black on Brass Furniture Question

    I really like that look. I may do the same on my TC Hawken. Did you remove the brass parts first or did you apply while it was installed on the rifle?

    Keeping zero after removing barrel with tang sight

    Thanks folks!

    Keeping zero after removing barrel with tang sight

    I think cleaning the barrel without removing it might be my best option. Removing the barrel sure makes it easy to scrub without getting the wood wet though. Quite a bit. Most of the time it's off the paper at 50 yards. Thanks guys!

    Keeping zero after removing barrel with tang sight

    Howdy folks, I've been lurking around here for awhile reading and learning. I thought I might ask the traditional muzzleloading gurus a question. I have a TC Hawken in .54 caliber with a Lyman tang sight. A problem that I have is every time I remove the barrel for a thorough cleaning after...
