Love my Uberti Walker. 50 gr of 3F behind a cast Lee 200 gr RN, is some fun shooting. It has become my Tractor/4wheeler/Truck gun. I’ve actually rolled coyotes at nearly 100 yds with it.

I’ve heard that as well, yet until shooting the Maxi I have never had that problem before. I’ve always shot light loads out of it as well. No more than 20 grains of 3F with a patched ball. I’ve...

You mentioned it loads easy, time after time with no swabbing. That is how it should be. Anything other than that and your load is too tight. Ric is 100% correct, practice, practice, practice. I can...

Many moons ago when I bought my first 32 cal, a Traditions Crockett, little did I know I was going to get totally hooked on squirrel hunting with it. I liked the little rifle so well it became my...

All of my PRBs are started with my thumb, and go down the tube with no effort at all. My 32 and 36 cal rifles all shoot 3 under a dime and 20 under a quarter without being swabbed. My 50 cal at 50...

I’ve had a 44 Navy for years and love it, but I am really seriously looking at the Colt Walker. 60 grs of 3Fg on a round ball delivering 1200 fps, and 50 grs with a conical giving 1000 fps. That is...

Oh to not be dyslexic and for the world to be that simple. I spent 20 years in the Army and still can’t get my left and right figured out half the time. Don’t bother telling me about holding up my...

There is no historical evidence of using a short starter on a patched round ball. The short starter was introduced with the advent of bore sized conical projectiles in the mid 1800’s. I have 4...

Thanks to your misfortune, on Friday when I zeroed my Pennsylvania 32, I didn’t make the same mistake, but it was shooting a foot low at 25 yds. There was a lot of filing going on on that front...

My 50 cal just absolutely obliterates the patch. When I shoot it the ground looks like I’ve been shooting a confetti gun about 15-20 yards in front of me. I don’t know why it does it, but it it...

It will be ideal for day trips and woods walks once I get the new rod for it.

The Good:
Right out of the box the rifle shot exceptionally well with my 20 grs of 3F, a .310 ball patched...

Don’t feel bad Wayne, I’ve ruined a few sets of sights in my days trying to figure that out. Dyslexia sucks. I still sometimes can’t figure out my left and right at times, even after 20 years in...

Yesterday evening the Pennsylvania Frontier rifle showed up. I wish I was able to post photos because it is absolutely beautiful. The wood on it is fantastic. I figured it would be just a straight...

I will say this, you have never been wrong on anything you have ever told me so, I will indeed find someone nearby that has a rifle with a swamped barrel, and give it a try.

I just don’t see how it can, as I said we are talking ounces and only a couple at most. Because I was a light fighter for most of my years in service, I get ounces add up to pounds, and pounds add...

I shoot an old NW trade gun from time to time. To shoot a PRB out of a trade gun and do it well takes lots of practice. 12 years ago I could could explode a half a dozen gallon milk jugs at 75 yds...

I have a Crockett. I got it when they first came out, don’t waste you time and money on a new one. The sights are plastic, the rod thimbles are plastic, and instead of the solid 1 pieces aluminum...

I understand the reasoning behind a swamped barrel, but myself have never seen the need. My 32 cal has a 3/4” dia, 32” long barrel. It weighs about 6 3/4 lbs. It is one of the lightest rifles I...

I have a 36 and a 32, and just ordered another 32. I really like the way my 36 shoots, it’s a Hawken style rifle half stock and hooked breech. I have never had a problem with fouling in my 32 or...
