    barrel cleaning effects shooting

    How do you "foul" the barrel? is that the same thing as "dry patching" it?

    muzzleloader cleaning

    So you just pour hot water into the barrel and pour it out? So the rectangular screw at the butt of my barrell is not meant to come off for cleaning purposes? I have never heard of cleaning a gun barrel with soap and water. I already have trouble keeping the rust off the exterior of the...

    shooting high

    The rear site screw says to turn it left for "up". So I assume that turning it left will raise it and turning it right lowers the site.

    shooting high

    good stuff. I am ignorant for the most part about muzzleloading. Although I've had the gun since I was a teen I was only interested in it because it got me an extra week of deer season. I basically bought some patches and balls and sighted it in good enough to hit one at 50 yards. So what...

    How far does a punkin ball fly before it starts to descend?

    Lots of good information. So should I sight my rifle in to be right on at 60 yards? Do you recommend sabots or round ball for the traditional 50 cal?

    How far does a punkin ball fly before it starts to descend?

    I showed my ignorance when I said it was a .490 g bullet. I suppose that is the diameter in inches and not the weight? It is a 50 caliber muzzleloader and the gun guy at dicks sporting goods recommended 100 g of powder. Too much?

    question about muzzloader barrels

    Hi, I am wanting to clean the barrel of my muzzleloader by running a cleaning rod all the way through it. However. the butt end of the barrel has a rectangular shaped screw (maybe not a screw) that I am afraid to mess with because I don't know if it is meant to screw off. Is this a screw that...

    muzzleloader cleaning

    how do you clean a barrel on a muzzleloader? I mean eventually it probably needs cleaned somehow because all of the burnt gunpowder would build up in the bottom of the barrel. However,the bottom of the barrel is blocked off so you can't run a cleaning rod all the way through it? It looks like...

    I've heard that cleaning the barrel will throw off your shot, is that true? Also, how do you clean a barrel on a muzzleloader.

    muzzleloader cleaning

    My muzzleloader has a few rust spots on it and tends to develop them quite easily. I have heard that turtle wax is the best thing out there to keep a gun protected from water. is this true? do you have any suggestions on how to keep the gun from rusting so easily? It develops rust just...

    How far does a punkin ball fly before it starts to descend?

    I am shooting .490 g punkin balls and using 100g of powder in my 50 caliber muzzleloader. I am trying to determine at what point the bullet starts its descent. It shoots a little high at 25 yards, higher at 50 yards and too high at 75 yards. I haven't taken it farther out because I am having...

    shooting high

    hello everybody. I have a traditional 50 caliber muzzleloader. I have hunted with it sparingly in years past but this year I moved to a state (virginia) where muzzloader hunting is big and I decided to put more time into sighting in my muzzleloader. I'll start by saying that I am using 100 g...
