I have a sp2022 with 2 16 rd clips and a 10 rd clip. Like it vety much.

Just making an observation here. I know this was not the question, but one should consider that if a cap and ball revolver were to be legal in ones state, you would need to get really darn close, due to it's low killing power on an animal the size of a deer. I know that I didn't say that quite...

In my oponion, the safest bet, would be to buy a caplock, and learn on it. Then find someone with a flinter, and try his a few times. One of the problems with novices and flinters is what I always did. Squeeze trigger, PUFFF, I turn my head, and then bang. I would repeat out loud " don't look...

Looks good, great idea. I would suggest a cross piece at the bottom, to make it more sturdy.

celem: TC sells what they call "Cheap Shot Sabots" . They are 240 grain hollow point lead bullet with a sabot. You might try them, they are inexpensive, 8.00 for a pack of 20. They are tight but fit easier in my Knight rifles than others. They are suitable for hunting too if you like. They...

Perhaps wads cut from egg cartons, soaked in parafin. Or ...... That's one of the great things about muzzleloading. All the different options.

Haven't used mine in a while. I have one in 32-20, 22-250, and 20 ga. They are slick little gizmos. Not fast, but not all that slow either. And they don't cost several hundred bucks.

oh yeh, and also, it is my understanding that 150 grains is the max load, but not the accurate load. Most I've heard find accuracy best around 90 grains.

I think the break action guns are relying on the action being closed to hold the primer in place. I just got a pursuit, but haven't gotten as far as to shoot it yet. Took awhile of soaking and trying to get the breech plug out to clean and grease it. It just amazes me how few people clean their...

This doesn't really answer your question, but, burn rate would influence preasure peaks. ie. FFF bp compared to FF bp. Just a thought.

you will run into some personal opinions, that very on what size ball to use. I have .454 and only a very small ring is shaved off. Not enough for the ring to be complete even. I have some .457 s I have been planning to try. You have to find a balance, the more lead shaved off the more of a flat...

Wouldn't pellet loaded in a sidelock get stopped by the patent breech, or powder chamber, where as the bp kicker would fall inside the chamber? Causing an air space.

I have bought patches specifically for each caliber, to make sure I have the right size, and it turns out the packages all have the same size round patch no matter what they are labled. That would be in .32, .45, .50, & .54 . So no need to be conserned there, just try some different thicknesses...

Thank you towboat er, for the heads up on the Cabelas' '60 Army sale. Been wanting one. Ordered it friday they shipped on monday and it was here on wednessday. FAST!!

I have the Deerstalker in .54 percusion. I really like it, even though " I " can't always keep the hits inside a 6 inch paper plate at 50 yards across a rest. ( emphasis on " I " not the gun) lol.
