    Ducks, Dogs, and Muzzleloaders

    Today was a grand day. I have a Border Terrier that I do all the things with - AKC Rally, Scent work, and Earthdog events. These little dogs trace their origins to the Border Between Scotland and England in the 18th century. They were bred as working dogs. Today my little dog Rio would have made...

    CLOSED Pedersoli 12 Gauge SxS

    I’m looking for a really clean Pedersoli SxS in 12 gauge. I’m interested in one with fixed chokes and chrome lined barrels. I’d also consider a 20 gauge. I’d love one with browned barrels but blue will work too. PM me with what you have.

    Pedersoli Deluxe Shotguns

    I'm just curious if anyone here has seen or handles either the Pedersoli "Old English" "Maple" SxS or the Extra Deluxe SxS shotguns? They seem out of stock and no backorder everywhere I have looked.

    Spring Turkey Flintlock Style

    Spring turkey season is always special. The grass is green and wildflowers are in bloom. The weather is moderate to warm. And gobblers are chasing hens - drumming, strutting, and gobbling. A bad spring turkey hunt is a good day in the woods. A good hunt makes a memory for a lifetime. The season...

    Found a 40 caliber

    I finally joined the ranks of the 40 club. It is a full stock rifle with a 34” x 7/8” Goodoien barrel. It has an L&R Durs Egg lock and target triggers by Dru Hedgecock. The rifle was engraved by Mike Roby. I got it out to the range today and started some load work. It seems to shoot...

    Good books about hunting in the 17-1800s

    It’s winter and days are short. I just finished reading “Wild Sports in the Far West” by Gerstaecker. Can anyone recommend books of a similar nature?

    Made Meat

    I set out today to kill a deer for meat. The hunt lasted about 10 minutes honestly. A good sized doe offered me a broadside shot at about 85 yards. I was wanting meat so I shot her through the lungs. I generally like to break a shoulder to secure them, but this time I didn’t want to waste any...

    Does anyone remember this cool rifle?

    I'm trying to find the thread that had this really cool (to me) flintlock. Doeas anyone remember what thread it was? Apparently I didn;t comment because I've gone back through all my comments. I think this was in November...

    How do you transport your longrifle?

    I'm just going to go ahead and ask what may be a dumb question to some of you? How do you transport your longrifle in a vehicle - specifically for me a Toyota Tacoma? I have a 45 caliber poor boy style rifle that I would probably shoot more but honestly it's a pain in the arse to transport. it...

    Y’all are sorry…

    Y’all are sorry. There I was - happy with my caplock, just minding my own business. Then y’all start talking about yer flintlocks. I go to reading - and the next thing you know I have one. I bought .62 Jaeger. This thing is reliable. It shoots well. A friend suggested I make a wooden flint and...

    Primer Charge when Hunting

    Do you worry about the orientation of the priming charge in the pan while hunting? The reason for the question is that when one is out in the woods the gun gets carried or moved in many different directions. This causes the priming charge to move all around or "slosh" in the pan. It might be...

    Range Report .62 Jaeger

    I recently acquired a .62 Jaeger. I had posted for load suggestions and thought it appropriate to give a range report. First about the rifle. This is a gun made by Steve Zihn. 31” swamped Getz barrel and a Chambers round faced lock. 13 3/4” lop. This gun fits me perfectly and points like a...

    I have a .62 jaeger headed my way. Deer season is quickly approaching so I'll need to do load development quickly. What I want to know is for y'all that shoot .62 rifles, what is your most accurate hunting load? I know guns are different - but maybe we'll see a pattern... I have a .610 RB mold...

    CLOSED Hawksley Style Powder Flask

    I am in search of a serviceable, original powder flask with a Hawksley style spout adjustable in drams of powder. I would be happy with a Dixon & Sons, Hawksley, or other flask by an original maker. I am looking for a flask to use, not display. I picked up a reproduction recently and the...

    Shotgun Wad Management

    I just have a bunch of questions today. Ok - how do y'all manage your wads when you are out hunting? I'm particularly wondering about the heavy cushion wads. I found the Skychief load to pattern particularly well in my smoothbore. For that load the cushion wads need to be heavily lubed. Lube =...

    Powder Flask for Shotguns

    What are these spouts called that drop powder charges for shotguns? This would be more convenient than going from flask to measure to barrel. I'm only talking about the spout specifically - although I'd like to know where to find a flask with that kind of spout. This seems to me like ot would be...
