    RB and point of aim

    Sorry to take so long to get back to you guys. Been tied up with other projects. Thanks for all the advice. I hope to have some shooting time in the next week or so and I'll post the results of my experiments. I may try some sort of rudimenty rear sight and try some differant patch lubes. Pillow...

    T/C Hawkens

    Reddogge, that's the best looking T/C I've ever seen. Could you give a rundown on how you built it? I could go for something like that.

    RB and point of aim

    I recently got my hands on a very nice Euroarms English style fowler. 12 bore, half stock percusion single shot and clynider bore. I always thought a smoothie would be the ultimate close range pig getter so I ordered some .69 cal RB from TOW and set out to expermint with it. I was using a load...

    Traditional M/L Hunting ?

    I'm proud that you and Micanopy are from my home state, just wish Texas wasn't so dang big and ya'll so far away.I'd love to meat up(no I didn't mispell meet :rotf: ) with some folks who could mentor me in more traditional methods. I grew up in the deer blind/ corn feeder crowd and to be...

    Filled my lion tag

    There are a few trophies and the stories behind them that really get me excited about hunting and this is one of them. :bow: Except I can do without the snow. Some of us South Texas boys are thin blooded. :shake:

    Small Game Rifle!!

    Actually it's 000 buck that is .350. Atleast according to what TOW sells. Not sure of the current price but in my catalog it's listed at $11.50 for 5 pounds. This are Hornady swaged lead balls to boot. I imagine its probably close to 300-400 RBs. That would be an awful lot of small game and...

    Square Nipples on Investarms

    Thank you guys. I can always count on someone or three to give me sound advice and guide me through my problem either directly or indirectly. I now know that the nipple in question is a #11 four flat and is 7/32 instead of 1/4. I hope that my current order to TOW, will deliver the tool I need...

    Small Game Rifle!!

    I aquired one not long ago. Actually it was my brother who paid 250 bucks for it at an estate auction. The previous owner as a doctor who collected some nice modern guns and had a pair of Senecas. My bro knowing I'm the BP shooter of the family asked if I wanted it. Guess the answer to that one...

    Square Nipples on Investarms

    Ok lets see if I can make this more understandable. My 20 plus year old shotgun has an investarm barrel, the nipple appears to be #11 in size except that it has been mushroomed by too many dryfires. The nipple is also one that has the 1/4 inch square base and it's in pretty tight as I have...

    Square Nipples on Investarms

    I recently picked up a very clean shotgun. It's a replica of an English style single shot percusion. The barrel has the InvestArms logo. Over all its a nice gun for something discontinued over twenty years ago. Only got one problem thats haunting me. The nipple. This gun probably spent a good...

    Entering the Smoothbore World

    Well my gun has arrived, pretty much in the condition described. A few scuffs and scratches from not so gentle handling and storage. The barrel is like a new gun. I ran a dry cottton mop down bore and there was nothing but the smell of Hoppes no.9 on it. For a gun that was dicontinued over...

    Entering the Smoothbore World

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to be using this as fowling piece more than anything else, however practicing with some light musket loads sounds like fun.

    Seneca Head Scratcher

    Paul would it be possible to paper patch some of those bullets?

    Entering the Smoothbore World

    Britsmoothy, that's the same source I used to find my data. I'm sure somewhere in the stacks of salvaged gun mags and books I've aquired there is bound to be some additional infomation on this particular model. I'm pretty sure I can narrow the search between the late 70's to mid 80's and find...

    Entering the Smoothbore World

    Joe, the gun looks pretty hefty. The 32 inch barrel is octagon at the breech and quickly tapers to round. The lock and stock are English sporter style, which was a big selling point for me. The load data shows the optimum load for a .690 RB with .015 patch as being 80 grns of 2F or RS. For...

    Entering the Smoothbore World

    Well after a much self debate, I took the plunge and won a smoothbore off one of the online auction sites. It's an Euroarms Magnum Cape Gun and I like the looks. I haven't examined it yet but from description it seems to have been more of a display piece than a shooter. I found the load data...

    Seneca Head Scratcher

    It was never my intention to try and get cartridge performance out of a .36 muzzleloader. I just like the idea of a heavier bullet for certain applications.Like thumping small hogs in the head, but I'm pretty sure 90% of my shooting will be with the RB. The reason I brought up Maxi is because...

    Seneca Head Scratcher

    I don't know what .36 Maxi would weigh, maybe close to 150 grn.? The RB is 65 grn I think. I currently have 300 rnds of .350 RBs and just need to get some loading and cleaning accessories before I start banging away. It is a pretty neat litte gun, it's light, points good and fits me fairly...

    Seneca Head Scratcher

    I recently recieved a T/C Seneca in .36 from my brother. It's in beautiful condition but I haven't gotten around to shooting it. I just got some .350 Hornady RBs and was going to order some accessories from the Track first. I guess adding some Maxi-balls to the order might be a good idea. I...
