    Back Country Hunters, Water Question

    I use a pure hiker,pretty much the same as a Katadyn.I know people who have gotten giardia and dang near died from it!!I am not going to take the chance,I live right next to the Frank Church wilderness here in Idaho.The best way to avoid an accident is to be prepared for it.

    Moose with my .50 or .54

    I really appreciate everyones thoughts on this! I will practice with the .54 and keep the shot at or under 50yds,failing to close the distance to that range I will use the .50 and a 495gr conical.I will have a buddy so taking both rifles is the best scenario I think.

    Moose with my .50 or .54

    I do plan on shooting PRB's, I do have a hawken that is 1:32 twist for conicals and groups 495gr No Excuses lead conicals real well, but would prefer to use my roundball guns.I also have a .50 in an unmentionable firearm,but I would use my 300 weatherby if I wanted to shoot it with a copper...

    Lyman GPR Flintlock

    I have a GPR flintlock with both .50 and.54 barrels,they interchange quite nicely.As to why would you get a .50 barrel if already have one in.54? I say why not?

    We can use real BP or any of the substitutes as long as it's loose and not smokeless.

    Idaho Decides traditional only

    I love my sidelocks and recently got my first flintlock,however I have 2 knights and a white that i fully intend to use in the short range and any weapon seasons.I don't get what all the sniveling is about.I prefer shooting my sidelocks but enjoy all my firearms.

    Idaho DFG / Traditional ML

    The boys from the modern muzzeloading sights are using this oppertunity to flood the IDFG with their 2 cents worth! I have been checking the other sites and full advantage is being taken by the inliners.

    Idaho DFG / Traditional ML

    I know my .50 cal Prb will kill a deer or Elk, or moose etc. If the new rules on caliber and weight are adopted this effectively becomes a .54 cal state if you like PRB's. I wonder if all the other states that allow .40 cal as the minimum's animals are just totally wimpy compared to our manly...

    Idaho DFG / Traditional ML

    Ours are .45 for deer and .50 for elk.I for one will protest loudly alongside IDRB if they want to mess with the our balls :nono: I am sure Toby and company are about to tell us how backward and out of touch we really are. :yakyak:

    Lyman Great Plains Rifle

    I already owned a caplock GPR(.50), it was so accurate and great to shoot that I recently aquired a flintlock version with a .50 and .54 1:60 twist barrels.The friend that I buy 25lb cases of powder with said our new shipment just arrived, it contains some 4f for priming and I am ready! I can't...

    Loads for 1 in 20 twist barrel.

    I have a 1:28 twist green mountain barrel for shooting conicals out of my .50 hawken,when playing around I have found that I get good accuracy out of PRB and 60grs of ffg.I wouldn't hunt big game with this combo but it is he** on rabbits and squirrels.
