    Passthroughs By A Ball

    For what it's worth i have never recovered a round ball out of a deer ( .50 and did .45 cal 1 year) whatsoever. A couple years I hunted with some TC maxi hunters that a guy gave me and of the 4 or 5 deer I'd killed with the maxi hunters I think I have 3 of those bullets at home that I recovered...

    Butch's Bore Shine

    Always been a big fan of spit patches while shooting. Cleans after each shot and is cheap! When I shoot before hunting season with mink oil patch lubes just to make sure everything is on the bore gets dirty as heck after just 5 shots and I get annoyed. Shooting spit patches just for the heck of...

    Cabela's and Bass Pro

    The FFLs that several auction companies in my area use say otherwise. All guns other than airguns and blackpowder require the waiting period but blackpowder you get to go home with that day

    Cabela's and Bass Pro

    Even some of the better gun supply websites like midway have stepped up the rules. I ordered a traditions kit last fall and they wouldn't ship it to Illinois. In illinois blackpowder guns dont require FFL or waiting period but they wouldn't do it even with a box of wood, steel and parts. Not...

    Is 70 grains 3f enough umph

    That's what load I shoot in most my .50's for deer. Have only wounded 1 deer in my life with a muzzleloader. Was an 80 yd shot so most likely my error. Other deer never went farther than 40 yd, all pass throughs

    Sandhill’s and Canada’s.

    Glad to see some areas of the Mississippi flyway got some birds in this year. Here in Illinois we never could hardly hold any ducks this year the weather fronts would come through and they'd go right over us. Very impressive to knock down waterfowl with a blackpowder shotgun it can be enough of...

    Best Beginner Flintlocks

    Yea that's what I hear it seems like. Have never owned a gun worth more than $500... I think I'm gonna try to find something that needs some TLC on the stock and barrel finish and redo it myself and buy an aftermarket lock for it like others have recommended. Then if all goes well maybe resell...

    Best Beginner Flintlocks

    I used to use this forum quite a bit back in high school and learned quite a good deal of what i know now about muzzleloading. I used to have a lyman trade rifle flintlock that i bought off of the classifieds about 11 years ago and always struggled to learn the thing. Somedays would be decent...
