    Pedersoli Jäger Rifle, Any One Shoot one ?

    I have had 3"- 3 shot groups at 100 yds. at a bench with a forarm rest. Swabbed with 1 patch w/ spit between shots. .015" commercial patch, .530" rball, .45-70 case full (80gr.+/-) of 3F Goex. I have had groups like that several times, so I think they shoot OK with roundball. I have a pic of one...

    MN Big Game regulations & ML

    Jesse Venturas administration fixed a lot of laws and rules in MN. These are a lot easier/simpler to understand then before they helped us. :grin:

    Pipe and tobacco

    I use bourbon and a good cotton pipe cleaner. The tar disolves easily with alcohol and you get a very clean pipe.

    Whats your favorite Tobacco?

    I haven't read anyone recommending C&D PirateCake. Some good/strong Latakia flavor there. It makes a great air freshener also.

    Opinions comments on Dixie Jaeger flintlock rifle

    Actually I use a used .45-70 case. It just happened to work filled and leveled off with FFFg Goex. I'll have to look in my notes, but I think it's 80-85 gr. by volume.

    Opinions comments on Dixie Jaeger flintlock rifle

    Unless they changed it recently, the nose cap is steel. When I bought mine which was a kit,it and some of the other steel parts had a light blueing finish. I browned all the steel and I think it looks better all brown. It shoots good, don't be scared off if you want to use PRB's.

    Pedersoli Jaeger Rifle-54cal

    I have one of these and they do IMO shoot well. I can keep a 3shot group (w/ a forend rest)at 3" +/- at 100 yds. That's with PRB's. Edit- Mine is a cap lock.

    pedersoli Jaeger rifle

    Well since i couldn't edit my post, i'll just reply to it. I found a target. This is shooting off a bench, holding the gun and just resting the forend (above/in my hand)on a rest. Ofcourse I have to do my part and load each shot consistently. If you like the style, I think these are great guns...

    Pinned barrel cleaning

    When I clean my Ped. Jaeger, I lean the gun against something w/ the muzzle pointing up. Turn the gun so the barrel is on the underside (water will not run up into the stock/barrel channel). Add a hose (auto parts store bought) to the nipple, and clean away. Try not to splash too much water or...

    Jaeger Lovers...

    Get out there and shoot that someb--ch. Mine was bought as a kit (green horn). I think it and I so far have turned out good, with proper loading and sighting I can get 3" 3 shot groups at 100 yds. held off a rest.

    Cast Iron Pot

    Does that stuff have an ingredient list on it? I'm just wondering/hoping it doesn't have any lead in it. But it sounds like it might be a tin alloy. I have never heard of the stuff so i'm just thinking btw.

    Tent Stove Question

    I use a (I think) 10,000 btu inferred kerosene heater in my 8' range tent for deer hunting. I have to keep the door rolled up and open to keep it cool enough to sleep (even -20) :shake: . In a 9'x15' wall tent, I have used 1 20,000btu kerosene and it stays warm. Plus you can cook on the top of...

    Tent Stove Question

    You would be screwed in northern MN with a propane heater, when it gets cold those just frost up and quit working. It's kerosene or wood baby. I had a propane bottle adapter for my coleman stove a few years ago frost up (-10+/-). Couldn't turn it off, valve was froze open, regulator froze...

    Pedersoli RMH "browned" barrel has light rust on the outside

    Use some 0000 steel wool and oil or WD-40. It will take the rust down but not take the brown off. You don't have to scrub, just light pressure. It also works on blueing, light pressure won't take the blue off either.

    Results of prb in Pedersoli sxs

    Unless I missed it in a post above, I think you should make a set of shooting sticks. I have a couple of sets and have used them while hunting as well as at the range. And with handguns and rifles. If you use them enough, you will get some very good groups. As with eeryhing, you jujst need to...
