    BP handgun for hunting

    I think part of the reason so many people have so many different opinions on the matter is because 1. they haven't actually done it themselves to see the results be it good or bad and 2. some people live in areas where the deer are the size of dogs and others live where deer are the size of a...

    The Uberti Walkers durability

    well from a shooters stand point if your gonna run 45/50 charges anyhow then the dragoon would be the "better" choice? as far as shootability and price point?

    The Uberti Walkers durability

    I was thinking about buying one of the horse pistols (Uberti walker or dragoon) and have done a fair amount of reading about there quirks and what have you... But my question is does the walker handle a steady diet of 60gr loads well? seems to be some that say yes..others that say no... In...

I have made a "virtual" handshake with another member on the forum for a cabelas hawken. 54 cal, 1/48 twist, 32 inch barrel, double triggers and obviously flint... condition is virtually new with no evidence of being shot (from pics, so it at least was well...

    well, getting back into it....

    I have a strong tendency to not believe in the word cant, and even though it seems hard to believe I had issues with 3 different rifles that was not shooter related problems is not completely indicative of the core issue seeing how you weren't there to examine personally. I have purchased 3...

    well, getting back into it....

    Well its been awhile, I used to be on the forum alot but ended up leaving because I sold my muzzys...I had 3, a cva deerhunter, a cabelas pedersoil frontier rifle and a lyman. I had accuracy issues with all of them and in a last ditch effort mounted a scope on the deerhunter and to my dismay...

    GRRRRR venting..sighting in woes again

    ight valve grinding compound is the first on my to do list then... SO the wads should only be used with flat based conicals? I may even give the patch and balls another try after lapping the barrels..If worse came to worst do any companies make drop in replacement barrels for the lyman?

    GRRRRR venting..sighting in woes again

    Ok, better punctuation. That will be harder then getting my rifles on target... I used 3 patches, the first 1 was the bore butter pre lubed .010 and the second was bore butter .015 The third was .018 pillow ticking Maybe i was using incorrect terminology but the "wad is like a pre lubed 54 cal...

    New question on .45 vs .50

    well i would think it would depend on a couple of things...do you hunt? is yes then what? and what barrel is the most accurate? if you mainly hunt deer and smaller i would personally (given both barrels group equally well) keep the 45 for the deer and smaller game and bore the 50...if you hunt...
