    Barrel length and velocity of patched balls

    Just punched in some numbers on that calculator. It’s a bit slower than what I’ve chronographed for a 34 in 58 Colerain. The calculator stated I should get 1634 for 100 grains 2f Swiss. Checked my notes from a chrono session and I was getting a bit higher. Lowest was 1690. But most were in the...

    "Silk....... another 40 yards."

    I never thought anyone would ever waste time testing that because the statement in the movie was so ridiculous.

    What happened to Roundball?

    I usually drift back and forth between forums like many others. I was just wondering because I enjoyed Roundballs posts. Another member who posted some real great photos was Greentmnboy. I know he hasnt been around. But i think I saw a video of a Montana muzzleloading shoot about 18 months...

    What happened to Roundball?

    There used to be a pretty regular posting fella here with the screen name Roundball. He did some testing with roundballs of other materials besides lead. He was from North Carolina if I remember. And he coined the term "whompability" Anyone know what happened to him?

    Ballistol.............

    I use Ballistol 1-5 parts water for cleaning and also for a range patch lube. There are much better rust protectants out there. I dont trust a lubricant that can be cut with water as a rust preventative.

    Hesitant on a .58

    I meant to type 1592-1618 fps with 110 Goex . There seems to be some really slow velocities published out there for .58 cal. Most of the publications are old. Most everyone I know who actually chronoed with todays available powders has gotten similar results to mine. The .58 is not the...

    Hesitant on a .58

    Barrel Mount Peep Sight

    Ive been trying this on one of my muzzleloaders. I figured seeing and hitting was more important in hunting than being period correct. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/132532/marbles-bullseye-rear-sight-2-3-4-with-double-step-elevator-338-to-535-height-blue I have another rifle with a v shape...

    It's time to turn the page..

    Mike Im 57 and had my left hip replaced about 1.5 years ago. I know the pain you speak of. It took a while but now I sometimes forget I have a replacement hip. It has helped rekindled my desire to hunt. My desire was crushed because of constant pain. I have no illusions of hunting as hard as I...

    Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken

    I have one in walnut. It shoots as well as any muzzleloader I have. The only thing I wish is that they place the rear sight a little further down the barrel for my aging eyes. I rectified the problem by replacing the sights and installing a non adjustable rear sight which puts it a few more...

    Deer lost

    I lost my first deer in over 17 years this past season with a bow. Having taken at least one deer every year for the past 37 years or so Ive lost my share. Most of the lost deer were when I was younger and more anxious. I seem to wait longer now for better shots but as last year shows I can...

    Addendum on Green Mountain Barrels

    Green Mountain barrels are getting hard to come by because they arent being produced. Green Mountain is concentrating on military and other centerfire contracts. My understanding is they might resume a very limited production in the future.

    Hunt alone?

    Ive pretty much hunted alone ever since my father died. Which was 20 years ago. I have learned to be on my own and get deer out of the woods on my own. I carry a deer cart in the truck for hauling. And have a simple pulley system to haul them up into the pickup bed without killing myself. The...
