    First shot always a flyer problem...

    First off, following the recommondations of the manufacturer is never a bad plan. Yes, I've seen caplocks go onto half cock with fouled barrels, and if you remember the Lyman recall on barrels? I had one, which likely would have burst a tube had I gone beyond the recommended load as both you and...

    First shot always a flyer problem...

    Let's try to get your head around it. What is the maximum recommended load for that particular rifle? Hmmmm. If it's 80 grs FFG, then 80 grs FFFG weight would be too much. Then, rather than take a chance, it would be wise to reduce the charge. Of course, your rifle has a recommended max chg...

    First shot always a flyer problem...

    Hello from Pennsylvania!

    I'm quite a way down from you. If you follow the Delaware River south untill you reach about halfway down New Jersey you would see my home on the Pennsylvania side. Easiest way to explain it. Thanks for the reply!

    Hello from Pennsylvania!

    I'm new to the forum, but not to muzzleloaders. Although I've been hunting with flintlocks and caplocks for a number of years I see that my knowlege is sorely lacking in comparison to the threads I've read so far. Looking forward to continuing a black powder education, offering what I've...
