    Easy switch from percussion caps to musket caps?

    I use RWS musket caps for most of my T/C rifles. However, my Hawken does not work well with musket caps for the reason Grimord noted above, so I stick with #11's for that.

    Percussion caps and powders out of stock

    This past weekend I had a little time so I made my way into two different LGS. In the past neither ever carried real black powder, but usually had a healthy supply of substitutes. Additionally, each typically carried a variety of caps and projectiles. LGS #1 had no muzzle loading powder at...

    Your best deal acquiring a muzzleloader, either trade or purchase

    Was wondering what your best deal was acquiring a muzzleloader, be it trade or purchase. In 1989 I purchased basic modern pistol from a small LGS. I tried liking it, but it just didn't do it for me. At this point I didn't have a muzzleloader and had never shot one. In 1992 I was invited to...

    Good shot groups at varying powder charge weights

    Hello, When working up a load for a particular gun, do you find that you can have good groupings with one charge weight, and then again at a very different charge weight? For example, 60g of your favorite propellant gives you good groups, but things open up some with 70g or 80g, then tighten...

    Thompson Center Big Boar Debut

    Congratulations on your new Big Boar. Just out of curiosity, do you find seating PRBs in your Big Boar more difficult than other muzzle loaders? I have tried the same load and even a .565 ball and it is still very difficult for me to seat the PRB. My .54 Renegade loads easy by comparison.

    Green Mountain Barrel cleanout screw/plug replacement

    I seem to have lost my cleanout screw/plug on my Green Mountain barrel on that fits on my TC Renegade. I've poked around online at Dixie, Brownells, Track of the Wolf and can't seem to find a replacement. Anyone got a source? Thanks.

    Misfires? Can I use BP behind Pyrodex?

    I had some ignition problems with Pyrodex with various TC rifles and a GPR. Switched to musket caps and musket cap nipples and had much better results.

    TC White Mtn Carbine

    Does anyone know if the rate of twist is the standard T/C 1-48, or did these rifles have a different rate of twist?

    Lyman nipples?

    My GPR used to give me ignition problems. Then I put a musket cap nipple on, and haven't had a problem since. Maybe that's cheating, but it works.

    TC White Mtn Carbine

    Just traded for a T/C White Mountain Carbine in 50 cal. Does anyone have a favorite load for these short barrel rifles? Thanks.

    Sights for a GPR

    I acquired a used GPR in .54 that has some type of aftermarket sights on it. Not even sure they were designed for muzzleloaders. Original sights did not come with it. Haven't shot it yet. These sights might turn out to be ok, but I was wondering if anyone had thoughts as to a good...

    Load for T/C .58 Big Boar?

    I appreciate everyone's input on this. Most of my hunting and shooting has been with .54 roundballs and .50 conicals. I had trouble getting accuracy from the Big Boar in the past, and I think a lot of it had to do with the load and loading process. Seemed to be a pretty tight bore with...

    Load for T/C .58 Big Boar?

    Does anyone have a favorite load for the T/C .58 Big Boar? Was thinking roundball, but open to conicals as well.

    new member with .54 renegade question

    My .54 Renegade likes 90g (volume equivalent) of pyrodex Select with a pillow tick patch and .530 balls. I use a musket cap.
