Black MZ works best for me when I weigh it. I Weigh desired volume and then weigh all charges the same weight. It is a close relative of APP powder (I have read that APP manufactures it.) It is a...

Try a squib load or fouled bore. I find that this helps hold things in place.
Can't speak to the recovery time or shooting steel, but I use Howard Leigh impacts when I need to be able to hear whats going on around me while shooting and am very happy with them. I have had these...

Take the 45/70. My favorite for hunting. Knocks em' down very quickly. Generally they are very accurate. Time tested and proven meat getter.
Just another hat in the ring, I vote Iron, Holds up well, easy to use and not as heavy as Brass. Brass looks good and does nice job but heavy-this comes in to play when doing extended casting...

The bodies run about 8 dollars and some change. I ordered one just in case there is any damage and so I don't have to disassemble my collet die every time I want to use it.

Habanero pickled egg. I think I saw the pearly gates for a minute or two. The room started spinning and I almost lost consciousness. A buddy made them and dared me to eat one. I didn't feel well...

Thanks for the Info. I am currently playing with some 455gr conicals and was interested in others opinions on this. So far I have had much better accuracy using a wad then not. And I only use Soft...

This raises a question I have wondered about, If shooting a solid based lead conical depends on obturation, then if a wad or thick nitro card was used would the conical still have adequate obturation...

I have not yet tried MZ maybe someone with some experience with it could comment on this. It could be the answer for those who wish to leave loaded muzzleloader for an extended period without using...

I wonder how the new Black Mz would do? They claim to be one of the best subs when comes to storage. I have never had any luck storing a loaded charge of Pyro or 777 for more than a few days after...

Nice looking rifle. Anyone have any experience with one of these? Looks like a new company of EX...

+1 great inline. I also have a USA knight that is a tack driver, only complaint would be cleaning takes a minute or two longer than the Omega. One additional benefit of a TC, Knight, Savage, or any...

It can be used as a fuel treatment as well. Cleans/ lubes injection system, intake valves, and top of the pistons. Air tool oil also. MMO is great stuff.
I like imperial sizing wax for my hard to...

I would be interested to hear about your findings after you try them both.

+1 on Adjusting the pawls, seemed to do the trick if center bolt, light lube on bottom of plate, etc. is ok. I adjusted mine about 1/4-1/2 turn a couple months ago and it made big difference in...
