    Trade gun for grizzlies

    I live about 80 miles from Yellowstone. Just this year at least 3 bears have been killed by hunters packing 10 mm modern pistols. Certainly less powerful than my 44 mag. Phil Shoemaker, Alaskan guide and writer, killed a brown bear with hard cast 9mm bullets in a small unmentionable. They do die...

    Bass pro has caps.

    I was bored the other day and thought I'd see what they had in Black powder supplies. I found CCI #11 caps. Under options they listed Magnum caps so I clicked and ordered 4 tins. They showed up and actually were magnum caps. I was pleasantly surprised. They ain't cheap though -- $15.00 a tin...

    Obsidian question.

    It's laying all over this country in East Idaho. Got some arrow heads made of black and white obsidian. Sharp as glass but not sparky.

    3F powder vs. 2F in .54cal flintlock rifle

    I've used 3f in my 54's for years. Lights off quicker and shoots good.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Wiped the dust and cobwebs off my Pietta 58 and took my Grandson out shooting. He had a brand new nickel plated Colt unmentionable. When the Pietta came out it wasn't long till the Colt got put down. Soon enough he was loading up a shooting with no help from me. He only missed the 20 yard plate...

    load question

    Pyrodex has no more power than black powder. It's just as dirty or worse. I'd try Triple 7 in 3f. It is about 10 % more powerful than black but also cleaner so load accordingly.
