    T/C Maxi Balls and Elk

    Where are you hunting Elk? I know that Colorado used to require .54. I had been hunting Elk in CO with longbow for years and finally drew a Muzzleloading tag. I read more rules and found I had to use .54. I had built a .50 flintlock longrifle with Green Mountain 42" , 1-60 twist a few years...

    Trouble loading lee conical into cylinders

    I have been using Kaido Conical Bullets for years in my Ruger Old Army. They are made with the base about .010 less diameter than the driving band on the bullets. You can Goggle Kaido bullets and read all about them and a lot of videos about his bullets. There is a post on this sight- ROA and...

    Mr Hoyt, no new work until after March 2023

    I talked with Robert about three weeks back and he said if I sent him my .54 barrel to be bored to a .62 cal, it would be around April or May before I would get it back. I'm going to send it to him around April, after touching base with him. Mie

    Two virgins at the range!

    I have been using the EyePal device the poster has on his glasses for years. Here is a link to get the EyePal to stick on shooting glasses to improve your sight picture. I have been using these for years, by different makers but all work the same when I was shooting Bullseye pistol matches and...

    Educate me: T/C Hawken, 13/16th 50 cal barrel 1:48 (1:50 measured) twist

    Nice job on the build. I like the looks of the barrel and stock. I started in 1974 with a TC Kit Hawken in .50 cal. I can't remember it having a K on the barrel but that was a long time back. I shot it about 3 years and probably about 1000 rounds while hunting, playing and some black powder...

Meets all rules that I have run up against in matches and with Lee Minnie hollow...

    Bobby Hoyt barrel.

    I have decided to call him this week. I have a .54 Hawken I built about 30 years back, that still shoots lights out but I have several .54's. I want to find out if he can bore and rifle the barrel to .62 cal. The barrel is 1 1/8" at the flats, 36" long, an old Bill Large XXX stamped on it, if my...

    Cannon American Eagle Safe Failed

    My best friend pass away two years back and when his wife tried to get into the safe, no go. She needed some of his military papers and insurance papers he had stashed in the safe.
