Picked up one last Saturday in 50cal. at a gun show for a song. Missing one wedge. What a fine rifle it is. A heavy beast no doubt but I like a heavy rifle....

That's awesome, I'm eager to hear what they do and how it turns out. One of these days I will luck up on a TC Hawken, I've passed on a couple because of rusty bores, go figure.

How about a 1861 Springfield Reproduction? I can't imagine a .58 Minie ball not doing what you want. That is a deadly bullet on game....

I picked up one of these at Academy in .243. I have to say for 179.00 I'm impressed. It is every bit as robust as the H&R Handi Rifle (Only synthetic stocks on the CVA's though). The trigger breaks...

How do you guys get the lead out of the berm? Piece by piece, run it through a screen or what?

Yeah that's what confuses me. I can see the permit to sell to try to reduce the amount of stolen copper. But to buy it? I'm going to call my Sheriffs dept and see what they say.

Feel superior shooting a sidelock? LOL that's funny, In no way do I feel superior, when a 149.00 inline will shoot circles around my 700.00 sidelock. I have NOTHING against an inline or any other...

I had a fellow caster contact me with an offer to sell me some of his stash. It is a Linotype and wheel weight mix. Already in ingots ready for casting. He told me to make and offer. I know what...

I guess SC has gone and slipped some more red tape in on use lead heads. While down here in the low country, I decided to stop by a salvage yard that I have bought some nice pure lead from in the...

The very FIRST abbreviation in my post was IMHO. Which stands for IN MY HUMBLE OPINION! The rise modern inline popularity was created solely due to muzzleloading season. If muzzleloading season was...

I wipe to a clean patch, dry, and let the barrel cool also. Simply because I want to see how the rifle is going to perform on a cold clean barrel when hunting. For recreational shooting, No I do not...

IMHO, No I do not think an inline is a TRADITIONAL muzzleloader. Is it a ML? Sure it is. Do I think an Inline should be allowed in a states ML only season? NOPE I do not. A modern inline to me once...

You should be ok if you are loading the cylinder OFF the gun with a cylinder loading press. But if you are loading ON the gun with the loading lever DO NOT use nothing but PURE PB. When I shoot my...

Nice Buck, nice rifle, and FINE SHOOSHTING. I love shooting Round Ball out of my side lock front stuffers. IMHO I think ONLY round ball and classic sidelock muzzleloaders and NO optics should be...
I will file the trailing edge of the sprue plate as you suggest, now that I've read this post.
Well I got the Lee mold whipped in shape. I just wasn't bothering sending a 20 dollar mold back and going through the hassle. So, I got some coarse and fine lapping compound. Starting with course and...
Well, I've put the locating pin back in, and polished the top of the mold block. I am going to lap the cavities tomorrow and try to remove that rough machined cavity. Then it will be back in...
