Sat by the Minnesota river with my t/c .45 hawken in a ground blind until it got dark and started to rain. Deer are moving, but too far away.
Nice!
Nice!
Yes, shockingly what to prime with, how long a flint will last, how to clean, what to use for lube, swamped barrels, and what to carry in your shooting pouch has been discussed before. Who woodda thunk it?That’s impressive that you did that! Really good!
But I’m shocked, shocked that threads have been repeated.
Nice morning!Made smoke in the squirrel woods this morning. Unfortunately just smoke and no meat. Absolutely perfect morning. Twenty seven degrees when leaving the truck, dead calm and clear. Leaves mostly down and crunchy. I could hear squirrels a long way.
Hated to leave at noon. Had a nice buck come up to about 20 yds too. View attachment 174016
Today? Well, I took my .50 TC Hawken snowshoe hare hunting. Patched ball, sixty grains. No luck today. But I see them pretty often.Since the previous thread was shut down (locked) by our new moderator, I thought I would start one up again, as per the suggestion.
So, let's get this thread going again, and share your muzzleloading related adventures of the day!
Thanks- Finished that one up over last winter. I used the KISS method as I don't have the artistic ability to draw the scroll work necessary for carving. Mechanically I could carve but I would have to get scroll templates and transfer them to the stock.@buckheart Man, that’s a nice looking rifle.
I like that. How do you fill it?A new powder flask arrived in the mail today. I’ve become a fan of not having a powder horn catching on twigs and brush.
This bag is set up for my 45 caliber flintlock

Clarify action cover please. Couldn't find any reference for that title on the web. I have a new SS 58 Rem 44 unfired as of yet. Too busy moving freight a to b. Like to read the forum in the sleeper to wind down.Installed an action cover in my Pietta 58 Remi and pumped the internals with high temp grease to keep the fowling away.

Yep, that’s a neat flask. Powder horns are cool but, I also prefer a flask that fits in my shooting bag.A new powder flask arrived in the mail today. I’ve become a fan of not having a powder horn catching on twigs and brush.
