PA game commission has public shooting sites. I think you need to buy a permit to use them. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappv...780137.0406,-8053593.0238,5220414.3235,102100

The NMLRA has a field rep in that area and he can direct you to the world in that area. Plus be warned he will make you laugh. You can check the NMLRA web site for Field Reps. If you can't find his name we can get in touch or better yet call NMLRA for field reps in that area. and they will get you guys together.

I live in Pittsburgh! It appears that there is at least one store near the city, Ace Sporting Goods, who regularly carries Goex FFF. However, if anyone has recommendations for other stores or ranges in there area, I'm all ears! Thank you for the welcome everyone, I am quite excited to get started!

As a side note to the Mods, can you please clarify the requirements to reply in the Classified Forum to make a purchase? I know that the rules there state that as a prerequisite one must be a member for 14 days with five posts - are those the requirements to make a listing, or is that the required activity before before I can participate in any capacity in that section?

Ace in Washington usually has powder and they have a good selection of accoutrements as well
As far as caps ? Who knows

One place w/ a complete catalog is Log Cabin Muzzleloading. I live in Central Pa. and have been a frequent flyer at Log Cabin for over 50 yrs. , with complete satisfaction. Good folks there. Their shop near Lodi , Ohio is a show stopper. It's not far from where I-80 crosses the Pa. -Ohio border in N/E Ohio. I used to stop there on trips and late in the day they allow you to park your camper there and visit the next AM. In Oct. they have a big shindig there as well.

Hello all! I am new to the black powder scene and am looking to acquire a Rem. New Model Army reproduction soon! Any recommendations for ancillary equipment (cleaning, disassembly tools, etc.) and/or ranges in the western PA area that are friendly to a whole bunch of smoke would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome aboard from Lycoming County!
