Thank You for sharing this video. It is very informative

Hi, I just pulled the cone on my Zoli Zouave (which I bought used some years ago, my first muzzle loader) . The cone is aftermarket and the Thread Pitch is 8mm X 1MM as measured by a harbor fright...

The Shoot in Lodi in May was great ! All of the participants are the best ! I also attended the shoot at Lodi in September, although we only shot for one day due to rain, that...

Hi Rookie55,
I agree with fgd135's post. Your barrel should be wiped after charging and seating a wad. The bullets you ordered from Buffalo Arms may be cast with 20 to 1 alloy, which is the alloy I...

Congratulations to Jim Kluskens and all the top shooters at the Creedmoor Cup and Wisconsin State shoot. The Creedmoor was my first ever BPCR match, I had the good fortune of being one of the...

Hi RFD, Thank You For your recommendation. I will have to make a decision soon. I really want to participate in this event. Especially since it's basically in my back yard only 85 miles from home....

Thank You Brent ! Actually I was thinking if I need that much windage I really don't need to be shooting and I didn't think about the check weld until now. Shoot Well Sir ! Tony

Hi Brent, I have the JIM442525E and the JIM443540M that that Were originally purchased for my Pedersoli Gibbs rifle. I cast with 20 to 1 and wrap with BACO paper. A .060 Walters vegetable wad between...

Hi Brent, Thank you for responding. Yes I expect this long range bpcr to be very challenging, and to be honest I currently only shoot 100 yards. I am jumping into the deep end of the pool without...

Hi Boomer, Thanks for the heads up. I will be on that. Shoot Well. Tony

Hi Don, Thank you for your reply. As for the equipment needed I think we have a capable rifle, that is a Shiloh Sharps Sporter #1 in 45/70 with a 32 inch barrel,standard chamber with a 7 degree...

Hello, can anyone tell me about this upcoming BPCR shoot this May in Lodi Wi. I am interested in this type of competition. What are the requirements ? Are there any prerequisites. I have been a...

I just bought the Lyman Taper Crimp Die for my 45/70 black powder loads. The die works perfectly for removing case mouth belling. Good luck.

I really like the P-H 1861 Musketoon. They are handy and accurate. Since you state that there is the P-H stamp in the stock it is most likely a Birmingham made gun. The serial number should be under...

I use a drop tube when loading my Gibbs and P-H Volunteer rifles. The drop tube insures that the powder gets in the patent breech and keeps the powder clean and dry, my bore wiping is done after...

Hello vrh, Olde Eynsford is great black powder. I have used O.E. for years in all my muzzle loaders. Its powerful and clean burning.

Hi Offshore,
For holding the bullets while dipping in lube, I use a needle nose pliers to lightly and by lightly I mean very gently grasp the nose of the bullet and dip to fill the lube grooves.

Hi Offshore,
If you are using real black powder the bullet lube is there not only to lube the bullet on its way down the barrel but also for fouling control. Last year in our muzzleloading 4H...

Hi Guys, I have been using paper patched bullets in my Pedersoli Gibbs rifle and my Parker Hale Volunteer (Rigby Rifled) for a few months and that is working well. So well in fact, I ordered a...

I Agree with Good Cheer ladle pouring big bullets is the way to go. Whatever bullet you choose always cast them hot and always use pure lead. I have found that anything other than pure lead will give...

My experience with the Parker-Hale musketoon (and really with any other musket) has been, when using light charges of Goex FFF say 45 grains or less pure lead seems to give me the best accuracy. When...

Hello, I never looked at the threads on my ramrods until I saw your question. I use a brass range rod for loading and cleaning my frontloaders.
I am not sure who made your new Volunteer rifle. Is...

I bought some beeswax and lanolin from Randy, a great guy to deal with.
A real Straight Shooter !

I started casting with Lee Molds and soon went to Lyman, Noe, Rcbs, Rapine ect.. I have not had good luck with Lee molds, I have had very good luck with Lee dies. The Lee collet neck sizers and...

I picked up a 8 pound jug of 2400 today, from my local gun club.
