G'Day From Australia

[Major Bear]

First time on any Muzzleloading forums very new to Black powder, I’m from the land down under small country town in Australia. I need all the help I can get, just looking to purchase a Parker Hale 1861 rifle musketoon artillery brand new still in the box the one made in Birmingham England in the late 70s. If anybody has any tips or tricks, I would be very happy to hear from you.

Thanks
Major

Welcome from Maine. I have a Parker Hale Volunteer that belonged to a famous big game hunter who was a friend. He left me that rifle.

Hi mate
Just moved to the big smoke miself. 6000 people here!
Good luck finding an early PH Musketoon still in the box. Only ever seen one that would come close.
What sorta tips and tricks are you after?
The PH's need work if you are after excellent accuracy.
