    School Me On Fast Twist and PRBs

    I’m not quite sure why folks say a faster twist rate and patched round ball loads don’t mix. Someone care to explain the reasoning? I recently found a pristine T/C White Mountain Carbine 50cal that is tempting me. I like a shorter, easy handling rifle being a hunter. The faster twist rate of...

    Refinishing CVA Stock

    Newbie question: I acquired an older CVA Bobcat percussion 50 cal. I didn't really need the rifle but had a chance to pick it up for next to nothing. Didn't expect much out of it but when I took it out to shoot it some for the first time, what a surprise!! This little short rifle is very...

    Dirty Patches

    I recently acquired a used older CVA Bobcat 50 caliber percussion, wood stock. I got it relatively cheap so I figured I couldn't loose. ran a few cleaning patches down the barrel and they came out very brown. After about 20 patches they finally started coming our fairly clean. After a few days I...

    .32 Troubles - Accuracy

    Another .32 caliber topic! :headslap: I bought a Traditions Deerhunter .32 caliber rifle awhile back. It was pre-owned but unfired, still in the box. I have shot the rifle for several weeks now and I'm about ready to toss in the towel. I'm shooting Goex FFFg. I've used from 10g up to 35g...

    T/C Hawken Sights

    I'm getting my hunting load dialed in for my T/C Hawken 50 cal. percussion. It's shooting good groups with 75g Goex, .018 ticking patch lubed with TOW Mink Oil and a .490 ball. Fired patches look perfect, grouping is good. Here's my problem: I routinely hunt thick mountainous terrain. I live...

    Deerhunter 32 Ramrod

    Any suggestions on a replacement ramrod for my Traditions Deerhunter 32 cal? It has that cheesy little black metal ramrod, which works just fine, but prefer some sort of a synthetic rod with fittings that looks better, and will still fit in the thimble and stock end? I use a range rod for...

    Patch Questions?

    Newbie question: Yesterday while shooting my T/C 50 Hawken I ran into some difficulty. I was shooting .490 ball, 70g Goex FFg, .015 cotton patches pre-lubed from TOW. After about 3 shots I swabbed the barrel with a damp patch. The patch was really nasty. It took several patches damp with...

    CVA Squirrel?

    Anyone own a CVA Squirrel model 32 caliber percussion? Thoughts? Sure don't see much about them. Using the search feature here even didn't turn up much information.

    TC Hammer Deformed?

    Bought this T/C Hawken used. I'm only the second owner as the gentleman I bought it from stated he bought it new in 1977. The important stuff seems to be in great shape. Gun shoots well. However, I noticed that the caps seem to stick in the hammer recess. No big deal I suppose. While cleaning it...

    50 Cal. Hunting Loads

    Newbie questions! They say the only dumb question is one that's never asked, right? :) So I'm working on accuracy loads for my Hawken. I'm getting pretty darn good accuracy with a .490 ball and a .015 patch lubed with Mink Oil and 70 grains of Goex FFg. I'll be hunting whitetail deer come...

    Swabbing Barrel Between Shots

    What is your preferred method of swabbing out fouling between shots, as in what do you use on your patch to remove fouling? Greenhorn question I know, I'm learning!
