Hi from Central Indiana

[frankmillie]

Thank you for letting me in. I’m a retired power engineer. I’m new to muzzleloading and I’m new to this board. But I handload my centerfires a lot so hopefully I’ll learn quickly. I’m interested in smokeless muzzleloading because I’m obsessed with hunting with one shot.
So please forgive me when I ask dumb questions.

Welcome from SE Michigan! You've come to the right place for sure. A few quick questions to get things started...
Do you have or are in process of choosing a rifle? Do you plan on hunting outside of Indiana? Some states are real persnickety regarding what's allowable .. modern in-lines vs percussion vs flintlock etc. Perhaps you may want a rifle that easily converts from a "primitive weapon" ignition (musket caps, No 11 percussion) to modern ignition (209 Primer, Large Rifle Magnum Primers (LRMP)). At what distances do you plan on hunting? Feed us a little and we'll give you a lot!

Hi Frank and welcome aboard. Questions are what makes this site so fire away!

You do not need to apologize for questions, I have a lot of them, but this board is very informative and friendly. My stumbling block is the overwhelming amount of information and sometimes the differences in opinions. Have at it and Welcome.

I have a Woodman Arms Patriot 45cal hunting rifle on order with 1-20 Brux barrel. Plan is to hunt in Indiana. It will have a 209 Primer ignition with tungsten bushing. Not sure on distance until I see what this rifle will do - but I don’t need to hunt long range.

from the Thumb of Michigan. Always something to learn. One of the real troubles with this sight is you get ideas from other people then think "oh, I got to have one of those". And I enjoy every minute of it.
