    Should we allow peeps in the general contests I run?

    It doesn't matter what gun you shoot or what sights you have on that gun. If the competition is standing offhand you still have to hold the rifle still to shoot accurately! If you narrow your shooters to only a specific group then you will only shoot with a specific group. I shoot both peep and...

    New favorite cleaning product

    Did you by chance see if this hurt the finish on any of the wood? Did you get any on the wood of the rifle and if so what did it do? Trent

    Flash cones around nipple

    If I can put one on my rifles, I do. I hold up close to the action when I shoot and it keeps my fingers from being burnt and or cap shrapnel in them. No overwhelming benefit to the rifle just my hand. Trent

    2018 York Memorial

    Hello all, This year was my first time ever shooting in the York Memorial in Pall Mall TN. I had a great time even though the weather did not quite work out for the best. Those that were there experienced a rainy, overcast cold day in the mud. We saw rain, crazy wind, hail, lightning, trucks...

    Lyman GPR Trigger

    Hello Msplcdyankee, I'm not sure of the thread size but, it is a tricky one. A friend of mine gave me a couple he ordered off the internet. I believe they are metric or European sized threads. They are longer than the original that comes in the rifle. The screw that comes in the rifle is really...

    Nipple/Clean Out Screw leaks

    Im not putting a lot of oil in the barrel. Enough to cover everything good. When it is stored, that is when the oil runs down and makes it way to the bottom. That's when it leaks. I do this same thing with 3 other rifles I shoot a lot. no issues at all with the others just this new rifle. I...

    Nipple/Clean Out Screw leaks

    Rifle was bought new,Have not contacted Lyman yet, figured I could figure it out. After first couple shots the fouling seals up the threads so when shooting it there doesn't seem to be any issues with the small leaks. I shoot a couple times a month and I usually just keep oil in the barrel...

    Nipple/Clean Out Screw leaks

    Thanks for the replies so far. Should have said the rifle is fairly new. Have about 100 rounds through it so far. I was told I shouldn't use the tape, not sure as to why, and try to find something that is used in car maintenance for engine screws. This would cover the temps and pressure...

    Nipple/Clean Out Screw leaks

    Hello all, I have done searches on this site looking for an answer to my conundrum with little guidance or info. If this is posted to the wrong topic please move or let me know. I have a GPR .50cal that has a bit of a leak around the clean out screw and the nipple threads. I cant seem to get...

    Any more non-hunters out there?

    When I was younger that was all we did. Hunt! I had younger brothers and we were always in the woods hunting something. That was "our" fall sport. My drug of choice is black powder. Competition keeps it alive and makes me eager for my next fix. My challenge now is between me and the target. I...

    Muzzleloader Forum Woodswalk at the NMLRA National Championship

    Congrats to you Trent! Glad to have caught up with the group. Sorry I wasn't able to join in with the group when you started. The fog that morning put my silhouette match back a bit. Glad to have meet you all and put faces with names. If I'm there in the spring I will make sure I am there again...

    School me on the .40 caliber

    Above 60 grns groups start to spread out a bit. Just have to put time behind the butt plate and see what each rifle can do. I don't always wipe between loads. when I start, I fowl my rifle then when I reload I load as normal but, when I seat the ball to the bottom of the barrel I use a wet...

    School me on the .40 caliber

    Yes GOEX 3F, I like and use the Olde Eynsford but can't tell much of a difference, if any, with regular. Regular GOEX 3F same load. I know a lot use less powder than I do in their 40's but, that gun loves 60 grns. When I was building up a load for that rifle, I had good groups with 40-50 grains...

    School me on the .40 caliber

    I like my .40 It likes 60 grains .401RB and .18 patch with moose milk lube. Shoots flat from 25 to 75 yrds. I shot it in the large bore silhouette at Friendship in 2012 just to see what I could do with it, cleaned the crows and groundhogs and nocked over one turkey. Hit a bear at 200 yrds but...

    opinion on Lyman rifles wanted

    here we go again. Still trying to figure out photo posting I cut this one with my GPR .50 cal percussion this past weekend. Best thing I did to mine was put in a Davis deer slayer set of triggers. It made it a completely different rifle. The only issue I have ever had with my rifle is not...

    opinion on Lyman rifles wanted

    I haven't split a hair with it but, this is as good as I can be so far. Lyman GPR 50 cal percussion, offhand 25 yrds, peep sights. I do like my GPR! I split this one this past Saturday at our club match. 5th one in competition so far.

    opinion on Lyman rifles wanted

    For me they did take some time to feel "right". I just stuck with it and talked with people that use them for tips and pointers. Once I could see what they could do and getting more comfortable with them they have grown on me. I still like the open iron sights and use them o other rifles. I...
