Connected with my ‘Soddy’ Style Flintlock on a doe at 45yds to end the season. 40gr Swiss 2f under a .390 patched Roundball. Only one I saw in 2 days..tough weekend. Interesting, I couldn’t find the ball as it clearly went thru the chest cavity - just could find the little thing.. didn’t exit...

If you want 2 holes with a pass thru then you need a heavy or hard bullet. My experience is only with lead and even with a HP - Heavy lead plows thru at least to 300yds, guess it has too much energy.lol Weight also plays into SD, like it does with BC. I did some research on Sectional Density and...

Just another example of heavy lead, never had had a failure with - why change what works best. On a doe hunt at the end of our ML season. Saw a doe @250-275y on the far side of the field at my 11. Looked with my binoculars and saw this guy in the woods behind her. I grunted and he came...

My state asked if they could post the story… Couldn’t believe he walked right in front of me an I was able to get it on video with my phone.

Feel free to share your rifle of choice in opening day of ML season. This year (weather permitting) I’m going with an original John Manton 17b (65cal) percussion, built in 1825. I’ve got it shooting minute of deer at 50yds and I’m pleased..

Local guy had advertised a Ruger 77/50, like new - It really was like new. Even had a cleaning tube.. Has anyone tried to convert one of these away from #11, I’m even thinking module with Lg rifle primer? Or even re-barreled one?

I was asked a few months ago if I could put together the results from the NMLRA in-line matches. Since the Fall National has concluded- here it is. We’ll, it’s been an entire decade since Dan Thomas & Bob Wetzler started them. Congrats to the winners and to all those that have participated.

Thought I’d make a unique powder measure. Hawken style Like making most things - takes 2x as long as you’d think.

Just FYI- this company did the same type advertising a year or so ago with In-lines. I noticed no reference to Knight or Remington. They emailed me back that they only promote items they sell. While, I understand that - I don’t know why they’d deceive the unknown? I too was involved in...

Selling a Pacific Rifle Co. 62cal. They appear to be Out of Business I’m in E. TN, traveling to the HawkenClassic (St.Louis) in 2 weeks and Friendship in June to meet or pickup. I do not want to ship. Cool little rifle that seems well built. Bore us smooth as silk.. love the radius rifling...

Match this weekend. No matter what your shooting - it’s a long way. Edging closer to the 2024 finale.

Saw these posted, if anyone is interested.

2uesday 2/22/22 Must be double rifle day! John, Joseph & Alex together. Have a great day.

Great day all around hunting with my Alexander Henry SxS, built in 1857. Good Weather, good dogs and good friends.

3 months until the HawkenClassic.

Looks like feeds are coming out that Estes Rocketry has purchased Goex. Good thing for the BP community.

Sat with another friend while hunting. Video of the harvest with his sons ML. Knight Elite 45 1:30 My 350gr cast conical over 50grW BH209. Distance right at 100yds. Good stuff..

My friend acquired a 17 bore (0.675”) double rifle a few months ago. We managed to get it shooting well at 50 yds, so I got my 40 bore (0.488”) out and we went hunting. Unfortunately, the weather started to turn foul and we called it quits.

Since I was tagged out, I sat to possibly video my good friend as he wanted to shoot my Knight 40, hopefully at some distance. Well, I zoomed in and caught it as it occurred at 244yds. His shot was right thru the heart, hitting a rib on each side, blowing a 1” hole thru - it still ran 100+...

Lucky enough to catch another nice buck while out with my Alexander Henry double rifle. Rifle built in 1866. 350gr PP HP over 90gr OE. 50yds. Last photo shows case and a buck from a few years ago.
