I have two breech plugs for my Endeavour, one still good with flashhole of 0.033” and the second shot out at 0.054”. These are the Speed Breech style plugs. A friend of mine and I got together to discuss a plan I have of installing the “Savage” style replacement liners. Did a bunch of measuring...

I read a lot of recommendations towards Bellm for TC parts and upgrades, however I cannot get to his website. Everything comes up as error code, and has for months. Is this one of those things one must stand under a full moon, next to a stump filled with water and 3 mushrooms growing while...

Went searching through old boxes of components due to shortages being as they are. Stumbled on these… Anyone use these in Muzzleloaders? From what I remember they are weaker than std 209’s. Funny thing is, I cannot even remember how they came to my posession. Lol Walk

Just got a used Endeavour barrel for my 6th Encore (3rd Pro Hunter) I’ve owned. Anyhow this barrel came with a spare used breech plug. The spare plug flash channel was almost plugged completely and took multiple drill bit sizes to get it cleaned out and finally accept a 1/8” bit. This plug has a...

Any of you Canadians able to provide supplier names for these? I’m in Western Alberta. Walk

Working from memory here as my brother borrowed my Encore a couple years ago, and I am getting it back soon. Have been focusing on sidelocks since, so please excuse if this sounds unreasonable or foolish. So, I’m aware of drilling and tapping the bottom end of the breech plug to accept a...

For years now I’ve had a strong desire to use just an old Cooey 20g single shot for all my hunting. From upland to bunnies to waterfowl to big game. Slugs obviously for the big game. Keep them large critters within 60 yds and work on hunting skills. Anybody ever done it? Anybody ever dream of a...

Girlfriend and I went for grouse yesterday. She brought her single barrel suppository and I with my home build plains shotgun, 20ga. Only two grouse were found all day, with her missing the first and me getting the second. Load was 70grv of Goex 2fg, raw sheeps wool wad, 70grv of #7.5 shot and...

He all, Been thinking about getting a new Leatherman multi-tool as a pocket carry. I already have two Supertool 300’s and did have a Blast as well, so not thinking about any of those. Any recommendations I should look deeper into??

Hi all, Recently bought myself an old classic, a Marlin 1893 .38-55 marked For Black Powder. She’s a six digit s/n (39xxxx) and from my research was made in 1909-1910. The records are somewhat scarce for these models within this date range. Necessary loading accessories are on order and should...

Not sure why I was away, but regardless I’m back now. My era of preference is 19th century (1820-1890ish). So you’ll most likely see me lurking in the traditional side, also the semi-modern old levergun. Lol Looking forward to sharing information. Thanks Walk

Hello all, I bought a used stainless 24” .45-70 barrel for my Encore ProHunter complete with iron sights, and it is due to arrive today. My desire is to start playing with black powder and cast soft lead bullets, with my standard lube used in my MaxiBalls. I am pretty excited!! Loaded up some...

Got my mullie, nothing fancy, just a nice heavy bodied meat deer. My better half and I used the “gutless method” to break the deer down on the spot and place into game bags for cooling/carry back to the truck. First time using this method and worked quite well I must say. That Two Feathers hand...

Ok everyone, I will apologize up front as I know how some of these repetitive questions become annoying after awhile, as well just the length of this question. I have been attempting to read on here for the last few weeks, seeking the answers, but end up with just more questions. I never knew so...

Looking for thoughts on what is the best cast bullet, in .429” for saboted use in .50 cal inline. Prefer heavier for use on elk and moose. Not looking at ranges beyond 150 yds. Will be buying a mold and casting my own. Walk

Anybody know of a Canadian supplier for the orange Crush Rib Sabots. At least those are what I believe I want (.50 cal bore to .458 sabot)? Walk

I know I am speaking of a breach loader here, but this forum seems pretty open minded. If I am violating something here, please move or delete. I have thought a lot over the years of venturing into the woods on an extended hunt using nothing more than a single shot smoothbore shotgun in 20...

So, as I stated in my introductory post, muzzleloading is not new to me. I started down this path in 1997 and although have not hunted exclusively with them since, they are what seems to draw my heart. I first owned a TC Hawken .50 percussion, which I sold to my brother for a Lyman GPR .50 flint...

Hello everyone; New to the forum but not new to muzzleguns. Am a longtime member of the sister site, The Muzzleloading Forum. Currently my passion lays with the traditional side, however due to aging eyes am considering the purchase of a... a... gulp... inline, thus allowing for a scope. Or...
