Hello, I've been a hard core traditional muzzel loader hunter since 1972, when I was just 14. Now a "few" years later, I own some beautiful custom made longrifles. I've just had my dream hunt accomplished this year and felt I needed to share.
Shoot straight, I'll be around.

Hey everybody, thanks for the warm welcome, it's nice to be excepted to your forum. This is my first forum so please bear with me as I learn my way around, so if I don't reply it's because I've lost my way.....
Deerstalkert, Your right about the .54 cal. but it's a handmade JS Hawken. It has a 1 1/8 to 1" old H&H barrel, the rifle was built in 1980, the charge 125 gr. Of 3F Goex and a patched round ball. At 70 yds the load shot clean through. As for where I got him, it was "No Tell'em" creek, maybe I'll see ya around.
