    Be darn sure of your target.

    I feel sorry for Zack.... About 10 years ago my father was hunting, and a young kid about 25 years old shot my dad in the face (by so-called accident). My dad was wearing orange (which I believe does nothing more than to give LEO visuals to check out hunters). Sent to the emergency room my...

    Powder Contamination in Hunting Muzzle-Loaders?

    I think you are missing out on the very thing you are posting.... You only have 2 fires in a gun. 1. Primary charge/fire (Flash fire/Cap fire/209) 2. Secondary fire (Main Charge). What you have between those fires is a channel. Your primary fire goes through this channel and hits your...

    Night vison scopes

    I have tried all three (Notice I said three). Infra Scope Thermo scope. Infra with camera. ATN scope runs 1k dollars. Thermo scope runs 1k+ dollars. the BIGGEST problem with BOTH of these scopes, is night blindness. You are looking through a lens, and your eyeball dilates to compensate for...

    Unloading a loaded in line 50cal

    If I never fired the gun during the season.... I put a toothpick in the FlashHole and leave it loaded until next season, or the season after. With the toothpick in there, the PRB or projectile in there, it is sealed. I have gone as much as 3 years, and it still fires just as well as I loaded...

    CVA Optima V2 misfire

    I do not recommend anything when it comes to in-lines.... I sold my Savage 10ml 2 many years ago on this forum, and that was the last inline / percussion I had except for my Faeton underhammer. I am a solid rock scratcher and have never looked back. Thus, whatever the guys here recommend, I...

    CVA Optima V2 misfire

    Contrary to others... 1. There is nothing wrong with Bore Butter. IT will NOT run down and clog anything. 2. There is nothing wrong with PowerBelts....Been using them since they came out. What does it take to make that gun fire??? 1. A primary ignition. 2. A Secondary ignition. 3. A Clear...

    Bore Rust Frustration

    If you are using real black powder, or a substitute like pyrodex, 3-7, ect,. AND putting your gun in a metal or plastic case. That is probably your problem. Stick your gun in a sock instead, or leave it out in the open.

    Will 3f black powder work?

    Yes, this is a correct statement. . .those who do not own flintlocks and use caps and primers are usually clueless about this....

    New speed loader type

    Static will not set off BH209. Nor will it set off Black powder.

    Will 3f black powder work?

    And this is why you should never "Pack Down" your main charge on Flintlocks. Leaving the main charge a little loose to where the projectile just "sits" on the main charge, allows the grains to be a little looser, which allows the burn rate throughout the powder to increase because of more...

    Hard to load second shot

    Different powders, primers, conicals.... What I use and have been using for years, is the REAL Conical. You can purchase in 250 grain or 325 rain... No swabbing in between... Just plug and shoot all you want. When you get home, do your regular cleanup routine.

    Pennsylvania Hogs...

    You are incorrect. Removel of males will increase the population. Removal of sows decreases the population. One male can mate with many sows. Rid yourself of sows and boar's cannot mate. Which in turn decreases the population. Kansas learned this the hard way with deer.

    T7 and Water!

    Real Black Powder (SCKNO3) can get wet and still be just as potent as before it was wet. All other artificial powders will probably lose their potential. T7 is not SCKNO3 very good chance it will lose its potential and not work like it should. You CANNOT drain the water away and expect the GP...

    the pellet rifle

    You are in a deep load of trouble when you hit the PCP arena. . I love my PCP's. . . I have the FX Impact m3. I hate the body style AR, but love the accuracy. I have the Evanix Rainstorm 2. Very nice, accurate and powerful. I have the Hatsan Elite 65 SB. Accurate, nice, good feel to it. I...
