How many years Muzzleloading experience?

[Patched]

I got my first in-line in 2022……. and my first Green River Rifle Works St Louis plains style gun in 1974 after I got rid of that cheezy dime store TC “Hawken” maxi-ball launchin Hollywood fake of a phony movie prop gun.

How many is that in gun years?

built a CVA Colt walker that my wife gave me for christmas in 88 I installed a shoulder stock on it in 89 ( modified a dixie dragoon shoulder stock kit) and used it for deer hunting in 91. found out that the DNR doesn't allow black powder revolvers for deer so she gave me a CVA Kentucky kit and I've never looked back

Bought my first ML, an original 1863 Springfield musket in 1960, for $20. Very involved in target shooting and in re-enacting Civil War battles. So 64 years now.
Then the family moved to south Florida (Jupiter) where it seemed no one had even heard of muzzle loaders or black powder!

I took the neighbor's grandfather's Springfield to school in the 3rd grade as we were studying the Civil War. Would have been '59 (?). I didn't fire it, though.
