    Kodiak Barrel Regulation

    Filing the muzzle to move point of impact: IT DIDN'T WORK FOR US. Kodiak .72cal Used two different PRB sizes. Used different patch thickness. Tried Goex 2F, 3F and Pyrodex Select. Tried powder charges in increasing increments of 5 grains, from 90gr to 125gr; 5 shot groups. Burned over 1 1/2...

    Fast Twist and PRBs - Accuracy

    We recently inherited A Lyman .54cal Great Plains Rifle with an additional Great Plains Hunter Barrel. I have witnessed the RB barrel shoot into 1" at 100yds using a max charge of GOEX 3F, from a bench rest. Ol' Wes sure could make that gun walk and talk! Not having seen the Hunter barrel...

    PRB Loading Blocks - Dirt/Grit?

    Howdy Folks, We have several of the loading blocks for PRB but have never used them for hunting. Have always been concerned about the way they seem to collect dirt, grit, lint and etc around the loading bench and in the possibles bag. Of course one could place the loaded board inside its own...

    Pedersoli Frontier rifle .36/.32cal

    Anyone care to comment on their experience with the Pedersoli (flintlock) Frontier rifle in .32 or .36 caliber? (Tried doing an advanced search and came up with 500 hits the first time and 212 the second.) They are a little on the heavy side for a small game rifle (for my taste) but not...

    Howdah Pistol - More Powder/Velocity

    Howdy Folks, Finally got to burn some more Pyrodex P in our Pedersoli .62cal with PRB. The following loads have proved safe in our weapon but can not recommend their use in any other. As you may remember we achieved 660fps with 40gr (by volume) of powder. Today we registered 910fps with 70gr...

    Commercial Sausage

    Ladies & Gents, Would appreciate some recommendations for a commercially available "summer" type sausage that is not loaded with fat and salt. About the only thing available to us locally are the Hickory Farms and Hormel brands which are way too greasy for our tastes, these days. Also have...

Next shot did not completely penetrate a (green wood) Spruce tree of 5"...

    Howdah Pistol (20ga) - Velocity Review

    Howdy Folks, Ran a few rounds across the screens this morning, looking for a load to fulfill our requirements. We do not recommend said powder charges for use in any weapon other than our own. The following is respectfully submitted: The wheel weight RBs were cast from a Lee mold three or four...

    Mink Oil at -45 Degrees Below Zero

    Howdy Folks, The Mink Oil (from TOW) seen in the photo has been cold soaked to -45 degrees below zero F. By the time we got around to taking the photo, the sun was shining and warmed the thermometer up considerably. Ambient temperature was still fairly brisk. As you can see, the Mink Oil has...

    Where Are the Hare??

    Hi Folks, BrownBear has been kind enough to provide a new recipe but we need another Hare to fill the pot. Yesterday loaded up and headed out on our Alaskan Mule-et. The temperature was a very pleasant +11 degrees. Unfortunately the wind kicked up (30-35mph) which raised the wind chill factor...

    Muzzleloader - Warrenty Work

    Ladies & Gentlemen, Just wanted to let you folks know of our recent experience regarding a split stock on our Pedersoli Cape Gun. The new firearm (purchased on sale) had set for several months before being used due to health problems and recovering from surgery. The 5 inch crack in the forearm...

    Yak Horn

    Wife picked up the mail today. It has been awhile since the temperatures have been holding at -42 degrees below 0, in the morning. This is one of three horns Brasilikilt has made for us. We have been very pleased with every one of them. What makes this one extra special (for us) is that it is...

    Pedersoli Kodiak 12ga/.58cal Combo- Advice?

    Anyone using one? Would seem to have a lot of merit for our area/style of hunting. Properly loaded, we would be all set for either Grouse and Hare or Moose and Caribou with the one firearm. If hunting Grizz specifically, could load the 12ga barrel with a PRB for a back up shot. Currently...

    "No Excuse Conicals" - Question

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Have seen reference to a hunting bullet known as "No Excuse Conicals" 460gr for .50cal. Tried the forum search engine and it gave 500 hits due to the words used. Perhaps someone onbord here has experience with these or can point me in the right direction for more...

    Grouse - Opening Day

    Hi Folks, Yesterday was opening day for Grouse in our area. In between rain showers, the pup and I managed to kick up three. This was the slowest of them. Young Ruffed Grouse with nice white breast meat. When the bird fell, the Dog and I had quite a disagreement as to whom the bird belonged...

    Yo Rebel - .62 TradeRifle

    Mr. Rebel, Just a quick update. As you recommended, working with the powder charge worked wonders. As you may remember, the former powder charge of 80gr 2F and 4F prime resulted in a 3 3/8" group with PRB at 50yds; which I was happy with. This morning, working up to 100gr 2F with PRB resulted...

    Removing Logo - Advice Please?

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Just received a gift of a titanium double-wall drinking cup. It is mat grey in appearance with wire handles and works great. It has a manufacture's logo painted (?) in black on one side. Any recomendation on how to remove it without damaging the cup? Tried scraping it...

    Yo Rebel - First Shots Fired

    Rebel, Just a quick note of thanks for the great tool. Used the RBs and lubed patches you provided. These are the first three shots fired. It is +18 degrees with a very lite breeze; beautiful day. Will try to fine tune the load and adjust sights (that is a one inch bull) for my tired ol'...

    Green Mt Rifle Barrel Co. vs Murphy's Law

    Please excuse my being rather long winded in the following tale: Heard about their recall of one lot of barrels that may have faulty threads (at the point of entry for the vent liner or nipple) on this forum. Sent them an email requesting info but no answer. Might have gotten overlooked in the...
