    New to BP with a 10 gauge and hopes of a turkey

    Don’t forget to pattern the loads you try. As others have said the skychief load (https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/skychiefs-shot-load-link.127394/) is a great starting point. With some fiddling though you might find your gun likes something else. I’ve used nickel plated #6’s with...

    End of season with my new knife

    What type of deer is this? It looks like an interesting animal in a beautiful area. -10Ga

    Turkey load for a 28 gauge (56 cal) ???

    Kansas spring season is open with one tag per hunter for most of the state. They did close the fall season though. I would recommend patterning the five top choices you find on a large piece of paper. You might be surprised what is best. A big piece of paper is quite cheap...

    10Ga Load Development

    The moral of the story is that even when you have a good load it can still be good to try new things and pattern them out. I got the painters masking paper for $14 at Home Depot ( https://www.homedepot.com/p/TRIMACO-Easy-Mask-2-9-ft-x-140-ft-Builder-s-Paper-35140/202040749 ). This will make 48...

    10Ga Load Development

    I was surprised by the difference load order can make. I was originally using close to a sky chief load. These results for my specific shotgun are better than the sky chief. I’m surprised I’m getting close to modern 12ga accuracy with less choke and no shot cup etc. hopefully I can get my hands...

    10Ga Load Development

    Hi Everyone, I got out to test the two best loads from last week. They still performed well with one load having a good dispersion and another having an area of high density. I was going to test further but am running low on powder. All loads were again from the right barrel with #4 shot at 30...

    NEBRASKAN'S ROLL CALL!

    Hi Everyone, I’m originally from Kansas (Osage County) but recently did a short stint in Georgia. I am now in Nebraska near Roca.

    10Ga Load Development

    All shots were made from the same barrel from the same firing position. That is except for the modern “control” target which was a modern 12ga. The writing is in the top corner of the target when it was hung up. I am still working on the lock for the left barrel which has been a long term...

    10Ga Load Development

    After doing some shooting I was able to find a suitable load that closely resembles the commercially available 12Ga load. All shots were taken at 30 yards. The final load was 1-1/8oz 1.5 F Old E, card, crumbled lubed cushion wad, card, 1.5oz #4 shot, card. This load had 164 pellets in a 30"...

    10Ga Load Development

    Hi Everyone, This Sunday I decided to work up a new load using 1.5F Old E and #4 birdshot. To do this I made several targets with a 30"circle with a 4" aim point in the center. I used 35" painters underlayment paper for the target. It is quite cheap if you use it frequently. All shot used was...

    MD Sika doe on last day of primitive

    I have been looking into sika deer hunting for my brother who lives in Maryland. I’m not looking for specific details but are you part of a hunting club/lease? Just trying to figure out how doable hunting them is. Great job getting one with a muzzleloader! -10 Ga

    English .28 Gauge Single Shotgun need Help

    Just to make sure there isn’t a mistake…. 1dram = 27.34 grains of black powder. two drams = 54.68 grains. Three drams = 82.02 grains. Beautiful shotgun by the way! It looks very clean and has a beautiful Damascus pattern.

    Cane Cannon

    Muzzle loaders don’t meet the definition of “firearm” federally so I don’t believe this applies…. For instance other traditionally NFA items such as SBRs, SBSs, and DDs have similar definitions regarding discharge by the energy of an explosive but are not under the purview of the NFA if they are...

    Cane Cannon

    I don’t believe muzzle loaders are federally considered firearms or under purview of the NFA but I could be wrong when it comes to AOWs.
