    Ffg equivalents for hunting with prb.

    Hey guys, and thank you before you post for your personal experience. i have an in-line muzzleloader with a 1/20 twist rate and have found to my surprise that prb is much more accurate at higher powder loads. I would have thought that it wouldn’t have mattered as much as it does.... here is the...

    Pyrodex Cleaning issues?

    Yeah but try to do that in a wet and humid environment like western North Carolina and even residue from not rinsing the barrel, after cleaning will corrode a barrel quick... Always treat all b-p and p-dex like it’s corrosive.

    I think it will only make since to try .05 inch increments. Every gun is different and bore size may be slightly larger or smaller in each gun. I know that it works for me but with a different twist rate it may vary wildly if the twist is too tight, or more quick. My barrel is a 1/60 twist.

    I don't like to use a ball starter.

    Me as well. As far as accuracy goes I’m pretty sure it really doesn’t matter wether the PRB is super tight in the barrel. Also, I don’t use a short starter I find that in my 50 caliber a .495 round ball with a .01 thickness patch lubed with tallow is the way I always shoot. It takes pinky...
