    BP Bore Sighting Question

    Having not yet switched to 777, but I would guestimate 80-85 grains would compare to the 100 grains of Pyrodex Select that I shoot. You will want to be around 2-3" high at 100 yards for a 150 zero, if I do remember correctly. I unfortunately haven't shot much this year due to a very...

    BP Bore Sighting Question

    Your method should get you on paper at 100. I have found that when using 100 grains of powder that this usually works. Though our differences in bullets are not much. I was using XTP's 44/240 and 45/250. Also from sighting in my own and friends muzzleloaders I found that 25 and 100 are...

    Getting started in blackpowder

    I can't agree more with a couple of the other posts. Don't get one. Once you start, you can't stop. Sorry that's Pringles. It' adddddddictive. You start with one, then another, and another, etc. Hope you enjoy and have fun.

    Bought some Pyrodex today

    The main difference between Pyrodex RS and Select is the consistancy of the grains I have been told by a few people. I cannot prove this as I just switched to powder this fall, but the people who told me have been bp shooters for a long time, and are rather knowledgeable.

    410 help

    Hi there all. I got a Gaucha-IGA 410 single shot shotgun and have a couple of questions. First the gun is marked 3" chamber. I use 3" shells for birds without problems, but I like to carry a box of slugs with me just in case, but they are 2 1/2" long. Would this be o.k. to shoot out of her...

    muzzleloader bullet that minimize barrel cleaning between shots

    Although I got an Omega I used to hate cleaning my bolt guns at the range also. Now all I do is spit patch between shots. At the end of my shooting session all I do is remove the plug and put one Pre-lubed patch down and I'm done.

    light strikes, or ammo

    Thanks alot. We were also leaning toward the spring, but to do so we would have to replace the bolt, as it is sold as an 'assembly'. Had a chance to try the stingers and it functioned flawlessly. However there is a gun show this weekend and we will still be looking for a bolt, or someone who...

    light strikes, or ammo

    Hi there all. a friend recently picked up an older Lakefield autoloader and is having a few problems with it. When it does fire it throws the spent casing clear, but more often than not it just won't fire. We took the bolt out and cleaned well. Also we placed a shell in the extractor and...

    Going to Canada soon......

    HI THERE. JUST SAW YOUR QUESTION, BUT YES YOU NEED A GUN LICENSE UP HERE TO BUY AMMUNITION. ALL BULLETS(FACTORY LOADED, READY TO SHOOT) REQUIRE A LICENSE TO BUY, EXCEPT BLACKPOWDER OR RELOADERS. YOU CAN BUY BULLETS, POWDER, PRIMERS, AND BRASS WITHOUT THE LICENSE. JUST MY .02 FROM UP NORTH.
