The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

Reckon that bunch of old guy's kidnapped that good looking dark headed honey ? She's the best looking Muzzle loading accessory I ever saw .

The gas blast into battleship guns' chambers was done for gun reason, as was the wet mop down a muzzleloading cannons' barrel.

For us folks down in Southern CA where we do have matches but have people quit when the temp gets down to the 45 degree range where we think we are going to freeze! Anyways, thanks for the video, I have down loaded all of them and links several together to make longer movies. Watch them at night on the Roku attached USB drive when the UFO guys are not on.
Would it be possible to list who the shooters since I figure some are famous or really famous but not having names put to the faces is hard.
Thanks for the great video work,

not muzzleloading, but more of the ducets ...
Beautiful scenery and the (guns are nice too) !
I stopped shooting matches, sanctioned or otherwise, about the time the "don't blow down your barrel" nonsense started. Glad I did because I'm not going to stop. If you're too stupid to know whether or not a muzzleloader is unloaded, maybe you're too stupid to be shooting one.

A really cool video -- bunch of guys having fun in the woods!!!
When I first started muzzleloading I got instructions from My Grandfather who shot them in the 1920's. When you fire your shot blow down the tube to keep the fouling soft and make sure your nipple is free. Now I catch hell from some guys who say don't do that and THEN have me make them a BLOW TUBE for their 45-70!
I am somewhat sorry to see that your club is about like ours, mostly old guys. The average age in our club is 67. Its a shame we are not getting the young folks in in any numbers.
Mostly here due to inlines and hunting rules.
