    Traditions Pennsylvania Flintlock issues.

    I agree with the others, remove the lock and deepen the pan. You don't need a lot of powder for a good flash off but the flash hole should be above the powder charge a tad. Disassemble the lock when doing it to avoid metal shavings also to avoid the possibility of heating the springs and...

    #11 percussion caps

    I mainly shoot flint myself but bought a percussion cap maker as a back up for an old Hawkins that my father in law made many years back in percussion that we have hanging on the wall in my living room.

    Welcome from NE Georgia. Been shooting muzzleloaders for close to 50 years here. Built many in my time but little time to take the time to do that anymore aside from one I am finishing up for myself for this coming hunting season. Always a lot of good info here for new as well as old shooters

    first bp rifle CVA Lynx .54 - what do I need?

    Nice starter gun and at a good price for sure. As others have said a .54 caliber will take a 530 round ball and a #10 patch and you will need a # 11 size percussion cap. If the barrel has a 1:48 rate of twist you can shoot a conical bullet out of it just not over much more than 50 yards or you...
