Hey folks! wondering if these would perform in muzzleloaders with any degree of accuracy??? They're cast of pure lead and designed for big bore airguns. I'm thinking of giving them a try in my underhammer build. I'll be shooting 60 grains max of Triple 7 at ranges less than 100 yards with a...

I've been wanting to put together a deer rifle. Something compact, lightweight and kinda' modern in styling. I' built an underhammer awhile back and I've taken a few deer with it but it's long, somewhat heavy and I baby her. I don't take her out on rainy days. I don't hoist her up into the...

Hey folks! Just a heads up.... I posted up a couple of gun building projects in the past and the gang seemed to enjoy them so here we go again... My build will be an underhammer design centered around the Pete Allen Underhammer Action. This will be my 2nd underhammer and my 3rd build using...

Hey folks, I'm beginning a build of a .45 cal. Underhammer rifle. The goal is to end up with a short, lightweight hunting gun for whitetails at ranges under 100 yards. I snapped up a barrel on eBay. It's 24" long with a 1:28" ROT. As I lay out the parts on my stock blank I'm becoming...

When I saw the Allen Underhammer Action for sale on The Gunworks website I envisioned a rifle in my mind on the spot. After that I kept coming back to the webpage to stare at the action. I researched everything that I could find on it which incidentally, wasn't much. It wasn't long before I made...

Hey folks! I'm looking to build an ultralight muzzleloading rifle in .50 cal. I know that there must be somebody out there who can supply such an animal. While I'm not so interested in smokeless powder muzzleloading , I'm assuming that one of the barrels employed in these designs would be ideal...

I'm not new to muzzleloading but this is new to me... A friend of mine gave me some hand cast bullets today. He told me that they were .50 cal. I've never seen anything like 'em. Here's the thing that makes this really strange.... I measured 'em & weighed 'em tonight and they're not .50 . They...

I've been promising myself for years that I'd own a flintlock. I've never even fired one but I'm in love with the whole idea and style of these classic arms of old. I'm not a student of the whole historical aspect. At least not yet. For now I'd be content to build and to hunt with a left hand...

Some of you may have been following this build in the "Inline" section under the subject line " Source for Barrel Blanks with fast ROT? ". That thread had evolved into a chronicle of the build as it was progressing so I thought that it would be prudent to move the discussion here from this point...

Hi folks. This is my first post here. I found you guys because I enjoy building muzzleloaders and I belong to a couple of "Traditional Muzzleloading" forums but my current project is going to be a semi modern rifle and we're not allowed to speak of such things on those other "purist" sites...
