    Did notknow where to go with this and hope this Forum is Appropriate

    My phone has a Panorama setting for pictures. I don't know if it will work for this, but it would be worth experimenting with just to see. Good luck. Outdoorman

    Frontier series, 3 seasons

    I watched season 1, thought it wasn't that great. It was hard to stay interested. Second season came out and I thought maybe things would pick up. I watched about 3 episodes and decided I was done. I didn't even bother with season 3. Outdoorman

    It's Got Wessonality

    I don't know anything about your gun. The whole episode you describe, to me anyway, sounds like the buyer (I use the term loosely in this case) is just trying to stir up trouble. Maybe he is influenced by some of the bull that is going around in our country today. I would just consider the...

    Preparation H

    I can see, I guess, where someone would be offended by this post. That is what the times today has evolved to. I, for one, am laid up for at least a month, and I laughed out loud at most of the subject matter. But then, I am "old school". I wouldn't be shooting muzzleloaders if I wasn't...

    Im an idiot, HELP!

    Part of Gemmer's advice was to use a blow torch on the breech. My question: Even though he has tried to shoot the end out a few times and then used water and soap, is it wise at any time to use the blow torch for fear of some powder that maybe didn't burn? If so, would it be possible for the...

    Grafs Black Powder

    I have been using Graf's powder for the past 3-4 years. I also tried it because I could not get any Goex, which I usually used up to that time. I have had no troubles with it shooting in any kind of weather or conditions. All my guns have adapted to it nicely. I am very satisfied with my...

    Making wooden ramrods

    Wow! This has really gotten interesting. Thank you to everyone for their input. There is a lot of information about making ramrods. Now I have to figure out how I might do this. :grin: Outdoorman

    Making wooden ramrods

    What started as a flash thought has turned into an interesting thread. Thanks to all who have answered or some who may still answer. I have always ordered hickory blanks from Dixie Gun Works, and have always played the caution card regarding dowel rods from hardware stores. Read too many...

    Making wooden ramrods

    Black Hand, I don't know that I would use any of these dowel rods for the reason you have given, as I have always used hickory in the past. I was just looking at them today and started wondering. I would think in a pinch oak could have been used. As Kansas Volunteer said, ash would be tough...

    Making wooden ramrods

    I have a question I need an answer to that I have never thought about before. I usually make my wooden ramrods out of hickory, but today I saw some dowel rods made of oak. Would oak make a good ramrod, or should I just go ahead and order some more hickory? Thanks for your answers. Outdoorman

    opinion's on .36 Pedersoli squirrelers?

    I've got a .32 Blue Ridge, which is a Pedersoli. Very accurate, and no complaints on my part. I have a .36 CVA Squirrel Rifle, and for me,I don't use it much. It will work fine, but I prefer the .32. Good luck in your decision. Outdoorman

    Deer hunt 2015

    I've tried "barking" a deer two times that I can remember for sure. Should have known better. Can't bark squirrels real well either. Thanks for the story and the pictures. I have two days left in my season, and got snowed out today. Don't know what tomorrow will bring, but your story made...

    Graf & Sons BP

    I've used it for about 4 years now. Bought some 2f and 3f because they were out of Goex. I too have found little difference between it and Goex shooting-wise, but I have always thought the fouling was more than Goex, but not enough for me to care. I say, buy it, shoot it, and enjoy. Outdoorman

    6 weeks 'til squirrel season!!!

    I've always enjoyed squirrel hunting. Here in Missouri it opens at the end of May. I usually wait until fall because of the leaves and mosquitoes. My main gun is a .32 Blue Ridge Rifle, percussion. Waiting until the end of September. Outdoorman

    Graf & Sons

    I ordered some Graf's powder about a year and a half ago. I've shot FF and FFF. I do not find any difference with it than I did with Goex, which Graf's did not have at that time. I do think it is a little dirtier than Goex, but not enough for me to complain about. Other than that, for me, it...

    Washington, DC

    Honestly though, check out the Smithsonian mueseums. One of them has an extensive display of old muzzleloading rifles and pistols. Wish I could remember which one---maybe Natural History? Read my friend, and enjoy your visit. I would like to someday go back. Outdoorman

    Goex 3F vs KIK 3F

    I bought Graf's powder when I couldn't get any Goex a couple of years ago. I have no scientific numbers to back me up, but I find no difference in shooting Graf's from Goex, but I do believe I have a little more residue to clean out of the barrel with Graf's. I am satisfied with Graf's powder...
