    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    I think the problems with the magazine could be that it has published for such a long period of time that the majority of muzzle loading topics have been covered. The earlier years had most of the things that you want to read about, but the publishers can't keep rehashing old topics. I too would...

    A strange 'modification' to a Parker-Hale rifle

    Superfine powder difference?

    I have a powder horn made in 1782 with a sealed end plug. The side of the horn is engraved "1782 SuperFyne Powder FF". As far as I can tell the seal on the horn has never been broken. I would post a picture of the horn, but it is at my mother-in-laws house 2 blocks away.

    Hopkins and Allen .45 underhammer

    WANTED Lyman OLD #457125 bullet mould

    I need one of the old style lyman #457125 moulds. They have been revised over the years and the newer ones will not work for me. The blocks have only numerals stamped in them, no letters. Also would like to find the matching top punch for the Lyman sizing press. Thank you in advance, jim
