    Dry ball help

    I did a search, but didn't have any luck. I loaded spit patch and roundball in my .54 GPR percussion without powder I think. I shot five times and caps all went off. Got distracted.

    Lyman great plains

    Need help. Looks at buying this rifle. I am still new at this BP stuff. Seller says it's a .50 cal, but says there are no markings on the barrel. It looks like a Lyman GPR fro other pictures I have seen. Could it be a kit rifle? He has powder to throw in and a revolver also, but I am really...

    Still Looking for First ML

    As the subject states, I am still looking to purchase my first black powder rifle, preferably a .54 and will be using it to hunt whitetail and hogs primarily. I have many years of hunting experience with modern rifles and archery. This forum has been a wealth of knowledge. Thanks. I've been...

    Howdy

    Joined yesterday from south Texas. I'm a beginner and yet to purchase my first ML. I've been perusing some of the beginner threads and leaning towards Lyman trade, TC renegade or hawken all in 54 cal. I'm a bow hunter too for whitetail, pigs and nilgai. Looking forward to learning from the...
