    Dragoon vs Walker for Close Range Deer Hunt?

    I shot a few medium sized wild hogs with a ROA and 35g Shutzen FFFG. Received a few pass thru's with wheel weight ROA 220g conicals. These are recovered conicals. I gave up expansion for penetration. I'm averaging 14 inches penetration on wild hogs @10-15 yards d-a

    Am i doing this right?

    Hard to tell if the crown is concentric from powder residue on the muzzle. Heeled bullets would add to the difficulty as well. Did your POI change? Or just group size? d-a

    Am i doing this right?

    Only revolvers. The semi auto has the chamber cut into the barrel. Your crown doesn't look like it's fixed in the picture. A good polishing of it will help. Brownells sells a polishing kit I believe. d-a

    Am i doing this right?

    All revolvers will benefit from having the chambers larger than bore diameter. Bullets need to engrave the rifling fully for best accuracy and having undersized chambers relies solely on the pressure to flare the bullet to make that engraving. A oversized bullet will swage to bore diameter in...

    Where can I get....

    I had a CF .338 barrel made by Lilja that was 2 inches in diameter and 44 inches long. I know he makes standard Cf .50 cal barrels, but the twist is likely faster andthe grooves are likely shallower. I would imagine any CF barrel maker that does cut rifling could build you one with square bottom...

    ok lets build a 209 nipple for rem. bp replicas

    Don't most guys say the 209 is too strong for rifles and already proclaim a 25ACP conversion with a small pistol primer is more than adequate to ignite subs and is a more controlled ingnition and more accurate. d-a

    1858 Remington

    Rodwa Where the loader really shines is when using conicals. They don't fit under the loading lever of my ASP 58' and if you pre started them in the chamber before rotating under the loading lever they hardly want to go in straight. If your only using Round balls the guns loading lever is...

    CVA Hawken vs. T/C Hawken sights.

    Jim I wouldnt drill the barrel either, I would drill another screw hole in the sight base that allows you to use the two screw holes already in the barrel. The sight is the disassembled one in the bottom pic in post 17 here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=689943 d-a

    Sure could use some .36 schoolin'.

    Jim Here is a link to the TC origional manual for traditional style muzzle loaders. It shows the sight on your Seneca in a picture so your sight might be correct on a later made model. Anyway page 72 has loads listed for the seneca's...

    DNR is short for Dept of Natural Resources. They used them for various training classes. I didn't make the pistol, i just gathered up the unused parts. My friend built it, dont know if hes shot it yet. Im going to keep the gun, Im almost to the point of getting a green mountain barrel and...

    There were DNR trade in's/sell back we all got one each and bought one as a parts gun. Its has since became a pistol. Thats why I have the spare sight. as a side note I tried selling mine after i got it cleaned up and operational and no one was interested(asked $300). Kinda glad now its...

    The rear sight on my Old TC hawken looks similar to the Seneca rear sight except its overall length is longer, probably close to an inch longer. Ill try and get you a comparison pic of the two. Oh and your welcome, between me and 2 friends we bought four senecas for $80 each this past...

    Sure could use some .36 schoolin'.

    Its another Seneca rear sight, My .45 cal seneca shoots high so you can see both rear sights have been cut down to some extent. In your front sight pic, it actually looks taller than normal but I dont have a seneca front sight to compare with. I've added a .400 tall .08 thick silver sight on my...
