    Intro to muzzleloading books?

    I'd also like to voice support for Sam Falda's Handbook "Lyman Black Powder Handbook and Loading Manual". I have both editions, and they are pretty good, though neither has 777 data and all the data from the first edition is for powders that are no longer made. The formula for GO is different...

    Hi from Utah

    This is my Vincent. It was built from a track of the wolf kit. Vincent started building rifles 20 years after cap locks became popular, so I haven't seen many Flintlocks.

    Hi from Utah

    I got into Muzzleloaders in 2012. I have a small collection ranging in calibers from 32-58 and I also have a 16 gauge shotgun. I cast my own minie balls, and I have a few revolvers. I am interested in learning more from people who have had more time to shoot. I wanted to attach a picture of my...
