What muzzleloading stuff did you do today?

Did a little snowshoe hare hunting today up at about 10k feet. Saw a few lynx tracks as well. Even wearing snowshoes I sunk to my waist a time or two. Quite a workout. Beautiful day!

Went to the local gun shop to buy Leupold standard high rings for my Knight 52 disc. Somone had opened the package and there was one high ring and one medium in the package. I am glad I caught it before I got home. So I guess I will be ordering from midway.

I couldn't wait. I ordered a Blue/Black Scout 45-70 from Sportsman Warehouse to have Hankins convert to a SML. Should be at my local store Jan 31st. No muzzle brake on this version but I will likely have one put on during the conversion but want your all's opinion. This gun will be mainly for sabot loads using the N120 and 195 to 225 grain bullets. I can probably get by without the brake? I think LBA shoots one without the brake? If I end up liking this shooter I'll probably get the stainless/muzzle brake version later this year. Thoughts?

What's the ballpark to have that Scout converted to a SML by Hankins? Thanks

Received my SS Fluted Laminated Thumbhole stock Omega despite the mail man leaving it out in the rain.

ArrowHunter#1960,

From what I've read, it depends if you are using cash, credit or money order. Somewhere in the $400 area. I haven't sent mine off yet, having truck and HVAC issues.

Found a couple sets of Warne bases toady for my G-Series Whites.

Admired this purdy sight.

Gave my ladies their regular goings over. They like the attention.
Calico reminded me that it's HER turn this year.
Yes. Muzzleloaders are like women. Don't pay proper attention to them and they'll put the hex on ya!
You have been warned...

I found my new patent listed on the website of the United States Patent and Trademark Office yesterday.

The patent office granted my patent application for the "Self-Ejecting Muzzleloader Safety Cartridge". It matches a measured amount of non-corrosive propellant to the bullet weight and ejects itself from the muzzle after it fires.

Now I am looking for a company who would be willing to mass produce the new product.

I got some suggestions from members of this forum that were very helpful in the development of this new idea.
GM54-120 gave some excellent suggestions on clean burning propellants.

Great idea, hope it comes to fruition!

Great idea, hope it comes to fruition!

At this point in time Hodgdon has a monopoly on the Blackpowder substitutes being sold in the U.S. market. Hopefully, some company will be willing to give them some competition.

There is no reason BH209 should be selling at the price we have seen lately.

Agreed!

Very cool.

Picked up another six tins of #11s at a rural LGS.

Cut up an old (washed) pair of underwear for patches/wiping cloths.

I use old T shirts and worn out soft cotton baby towels leftover from my grandkids. I cut them up for patches and cleaning rags.

Not muzzleloader related but I traded into one of my Holy Grail rifles, a ported Marlin 444P.

Glad you mentioned the "washed " part. Lol

Took the X7 for a couple hikes here in AZ today. Beautiful sunny warm weather. Glassed up quite a few deer, but the javelina did not reveal themselves.
