Ok thankyou

Hey guys 17 years old from Nova Scotia here. I know getting debris in the barrel of your rifle can be catastrophic so you need to make the sure the muzzle out of the mud and everything. I’m wondering if the same danger applies to rain? I’d like to take a walk in the woods with my muzzleloader...

Great thanks!

Think this would work with a rifled gun?

I basically just want to do this to have a bunch of "rounds" at the ready. I would tear the end off and pour the powder down then ram the rest of it in. Using the paper as a wad/ patch for the ball. I have a bunch of lead balls which is what I would be shooting. They work fine with patches. I...

I intend on biting or tearing the end off then pouring it down first. Then having the convenience of having the ball already wrapped. Then I would just ram that down. So the powder wouldn't be any different. Sounds like from your response and this other person that it should be perfectly fine...

I have a traditions deerhunter. Is there any reason I can't make paper cartridges for it? Even though it's rifled? I plan on lining the outside of the paper with lube. So I can't really think why it would be a problem but I don't want to do anything dangerous so I'm just asking for people with...

Ok awesome. If love to get the conicals there just hard to find where I live. PRBs aren't so il start with that. What patches do you use?

Ok thanks for the info. What would you recommend in terms of amount of powder so they latches don't tear? I'm buying a ball starter anyway so doesn't matter if they're pretty tight. I will be hunting rabbits with just 20 grains of powder until the season is over. Buy for coyotes il go all in...

Great thanks for the info!!! Really helpful man. I definitely will do some reading on the subject aswell.

I think he has knapped but whatever the case I'm gonna get them because he's the only guy I can find that's sells them. Unless someone else can recommend a seller in Canada.

What speed would I get out of 50 grains?

So what would be a good option for something more bullet like? Although patched balls are fine with me so it doesn't even really matter. When you say tight fit and a charge that won't strip the patch. What do you mean "strip the patch"? Thanks.

Great to know! Thanks :)

Easy. It's expensive but don't need a license (surprisingly) and there is 1 place 20 mins away from me that sells Goex. And then Cabela's does and 1 other place that actually sells flints which is amazing.

I am young so I legally have to hunt with someone 18+ anyway. They don't have Flintlocks but I have some older friends who shoot muzzys. Iv been researching Flintlocks for weeks now and had previous knowledge on how they work too. I know enough to shoot safely but more experienced people will...

I'm under 18 and I live in Canada 😂 but Iv also been interested for a long time so I think I would have gotten a flinter even if it wasn't my only option.

Hello! I just bought my first flintlock it's a traditions deerhunter. Wondering if I can use sabots? Or just patched round balls? Thanks! I believe the barrel is 1:48 correct me if I'm wrong.

Lived in PA for 3 years! Miss it!

Hello all! Just bought my first flintlock and am very exited to start hunting with it. Don't have a lot of extra cash lying around so I went with something cheaper it's a traditions deerhunter flintlock bit it'll do the job. I'm glad to be here and join the muzzleloading community.
