    Need .70 and .54 cal wads

    You need an .018 to .020 patch and more lube. Make sure your crown isn't cutting your patches. I have never had a gun with a proper ball and patch combo blow patches.

    Hawken Worth

    Not likely. Inlines are big business and most hunters prefer them. Sad but true.

    Real Black Powder & Smokeless....

    I have enough stuff set back to last me the rest of my life. You should too. Shortages never effect me. I still buy when the price is right. It will all be like gold once they outlaw everything.

    Huge Gun Show; Not a Cap In Sight

    I've been finding great reloading supplies. All the old guys are dieing off and their rare obsolete supplies are being sold cheap. Nobody knows what these old calibers even are. I don't see anything but junk for muzzle loaders. I always burn right past the 8 table Pakistani Damascus knife set...

    Separate finances have great advantages.

    I have shot and still shoot damascus barrels with no worries.

    Colonial Williamsburg looking for a gun maker apprentice

    I applied for and turned down that job in 1988. They pay minimum wage and I couldn't ask my wife and three kids to live like that.

    2024 cap update, bad and the bad

    I'm not having trouble finding anything I need. Reloading supplies are available For the most part but prices are incredibly high. Makes me glad I've been a hoarder all my l8fe.

    Black Powder Squirrel Barking...??

    I always figured it was easier to shoot them in the head than shoot so close you kill them with bark.

    2024 cap update, bad and the bad

    I bought heavy in the 80's and 90's I still have 8K left. I think I was paying $36 per roll of 1K. I NEVER go in a Walmart......:eek:

    Muzzleloading Show

    I went to the Kalamazoo show once. I had more guns in the back of my truck than was in the entire building. I went to the air museum instead of setting up my table.

    Colonial load

    It's all about the twist. Kiblers barrels are 1 in 70 which is a little slow and is going to require a little more powder. I'm guessing g 75 to 85gr.

    Advantages/Disadvantages of 3f with Shot???

    They are pretty handy. I like 12s and 10s too. Heck. I like them all!
  15. Comfortably_Numb

    Advantages/Disadvantages of 3f with Shot???

    I prefer at least a 16 bore for shooting flying.

    Colonial Trade Gun from a modern Belgian flintlock

    Looks to not have much drop. Does it smack you in the cheek bone?
  17. Comfortably_Numb

    Advantages/Disadvantages of 3f with Shot???

    That's a great patterning gun, I assume it's a 24ga. I have had guns that shot 3f well in the past. They also often shot 2f just as well. I often shot 3f for skeet, I always felt the ignition was a little faster. probably my imagination. I'm talking flint guns here, not cappers. These small...

    Coins

    I'd look for an old original coin with the correct date. If times get tough you can always pry it back out and buy groceries with it!

    Advantages/Disadvantages of 3f with Shot???

    It's been since jan 2nd since the last post on this thread and you're just bringing it up now and making personal threats? . :dunno: How rude! If you're footing the bill for my vacation let me know. I prefer Belize this time of year.:thumb:

    Size shot for squirrels

    With muzzleloaders , either balls or shot, it's mass that kills , not speed.
