Don't buy the brass frame guns, they develop problems when used.

It is also a good idea to have a smith do an action job. The Cowboy Shooters over at "The Wire" can recommend gunsmiths that work...

Well I find myself moving to Idaho and had to reduce my baggage for travel. So I gave that carbine to a young friend to get him started. It is a fun novelty for the moment, but the accuracy of this...

I wonder if sections of the bent barrel could be salvaged for pistols. :idea:

Peruse the pawnshops, take a muzzleloading borelight with you. Remember that prices can be negotiable when using cash.

Yesterday I really needed a budget ML rifle for loaning out to new shooters. So I went pawnshopping and found a bargain.

CVA Frontier Carbine, .50 caliber, percussion. This is a very small...

Cast a few and see what comes out.

You need a quality hand fitted flintlock to get reliable, fast ignition.

Factory locks are never going to be close in performance to a hand fitted, hand polished lock. You will likely be...

Jim Zumbo gets paid to go hunting. :smile:

I did some research on velocities with .45 ACP in different barrel lengths. The results I found are that 10" is the optimum barrel length.

The meeting went well, I am so glad that her fiance is experience with firearms and can translate to her much of what I am trying to say. Her advise is that I use social media, so I...

I have found a professional writer, am meeting her today. I know that some here think I should do it all myself. I care more about getting this film project in production and will take every...

People here with long years of experience with BP firearms get annoyed with Mike Belivieu's "long winded" instructions, but the videos are really not for you. The videos are produced for a much...

Thanks for the information on how to go about this endeavor.

I must say though that the firearm industry is focused on producing modern inline ML rifles rather than traditional ML firearms. Some...

I wish to do a film project where traditional muzzle loading firearms are used for hunting large game in the Pacific NorthWest region.

There is a great need for this film project, much of the...

What caliber? Twist rate?

How about a detailed range report?

Well done! :-)

Looking forward to a range report.

It seems rather odd that the resizing/decapping die goes on the center station rather than the first. That is something that must be done first, the comes a new primer and powder charge. :confused:

I also purchased some vintage CH dies for .38 Special. One of the dies appears to be used with the CH powder measure, am I right?

I second that.

I just purchased a Lyman mold for the .50 caliber Maxi-Ball with handles on ebay for $73. What sizing die and top punch to get for the Lyman 4500 lube sizer? I will likely use the Lyman Black Powder...

.45 caliber ball is too light for elk, .45 caliber heavy conicals will get the job done.

A new prescription for eye glasses from the optometrist might fix that problem.
