    Do they have black powder?

    Patching over your powder charge …. then patching your ball

    I tend to agree but when you see an 80yr old man doing it with tons of time behind a muzzleloader I begin to wonder if there must be enough benefit to justify doing it

    Patching over your powder charge …. then patching your ball

    He was just using a white patch … he said same ones he wipes his barrel clean with … I’m assuming just cotton

    Patching over your powder charge …. then patching your ball

    I was watching Dennis Pritchard over on YouTube and he runs a dry patch down over his main powder charge then a heavily lubed patch with his round ball. Have you all tried this and have you noticed any difference?

    I’m literally about 15 minutes away. My wife is actually from Prairie DuRocher where the fort is just outside of town in the bottoms.

    Greenhorn questions

    I have a Lyman .54 cal flintlock GPR headed my way and I have never owned or used anything with black powder or have experienced a firearm that loads from the muzzle so to say I’ve got a lot to learn would be an understatement! I do have considerable experience shooting and handling firearms and...

    Rabbit hunting and gear

    I always ran shocking collars on my beagles years ago. You never want to abuse that but it was very nice if they’d try running a deer so I could get them off it quickly … and eventually they learn to not run them then. Also beagles can just be hard headed about loading up sometimes if they have...

    CLOSED Kibler Fowler

    I’ve been researching traditional black powder muzzleloaders a lot recently and want to get my very 1st one and I’d like for it to be a flintlock that is 100% all purpose for hunting and I’ve just about settled on a smooth bore from Jim Kibler that can be loaded with both pellets or a round ball...

    Barrel twist for deer hunting

    I’m completely new to black powder and have a huge urge to get a flintlock rifle for some reason. Cool factor 100% in my eyes!

    Lyman .54 GPR flintlock for whitetail

    Anyone have an opinion they’d be willing to share on the Lyman GPR as a whitetail rifle? Have the opportunity to snag one and it would be my first traditional black powder. First BP all together. Would this be a good choice for getting my feet wet and trying to harvest a deer with it?
