    Any luck opening day?

    Ok so anyone out on opening day for Blacktail in Oregon bag a buck? None for me just Does. But a great day hunting none the less. Learned a lesson though..... I sure saw a lot of hunters out there. This was my first time taking out my muzzle loader on a hunt. I spent about 3 hours in the rain...

    Great day at the range.

    Ok, is there really bad days at the range? Was able to get out and shoot my walker qite a bit again yesterday. I was stuck at the 25yd range, but was really able to dial in the walker. As I have heard here with other shooters, I am getting spot on results with 50 grains pyrodex. I am not using...

    Alternate uses for T7

    I know everyone love real BP and I certainly plan on getting some in the near future, But I have a rather good supply of pyrodex and 1 lb of 777. I have been using the pyrodex in my .54 hawken and been very happy with the results. Yesterday I decided to shoot up my T7 just to make some smoke...

    Walker owners

    I ditched the paper cartridges for now and I am back to just loose powder in the cylinders. I was getting great results at 25 yrds this last Sunday. I am using Pyrodex (I know I know :shake: but it is what I have right now) With a 45 grain by volume load I was hitting about 6" high but was...

    Paper Cartridges?

    Anyone here ever made them. I am thinking this might be just the thing I would like for my Walker. I have seen two methods. First being the cartridge containing both the load and ball. Second containing just the load. For the second I guess you would just place the load in the cylinder then...

    Range report Walker

    Ok....what a blast to shoot! I just wish I would have prepped the gun better for the trip. This was my first time out with it and I did a pre range cleaning because it was new and had all that manure on it from the factory. I put a dab of crisco on the spindle when I put it back together, but I...

    Range report .54 Hawken

    Was able to get to the range and shoot about 50 rounds yesterday. I switched from 80 grains of 777 to 60 grains pirodex ffg. Using .530 ball and .015 prelubed patch at 50 yards I was dead center about 5" below the bull. Same load I could not get on the paper at 100yds. :shake: I am still very...

    Walker for Christmas!

    I was totally shocked when today my father in-law gave me a Colt Walker! Wow! :thumbsup: These things are huge! It is a Uberti and I know there has been talk that they are not quite the quality of the Pedersoli, but this thing really has a nice feel to it. The action is quite smooth. I have...

    Copper wire bore brush?

    I am still new to all this so hopefully this is in the right area. I know crud build up is normal in bp rifles. I have read lots about swabbing the barrel between shots or every few shots. I seem to be able to get about 5 shots right now before having real trouble ramming the ball. To my real...

    Nipple questions

    I recieved a Traditions Hawken as an early Christmas gift from my wife. I am very new to black powder. Only about a month before I recieved my rifle, I built a traditions kentucky pistol. The pistol is .50 and the hawken is .54. I love shooting both of these and am totally in love with black...
