    My first pheasant!

    Pheasant came into season this weekend. After two days of walking through waist high grass and trying to not fall into the marshy banks. I managed to get my first pheasant. I missed about 4 or 5 of them before connecting with one. Either my wing shooting skills are lacking or I need to do a lot...

    A good day grouse hunting.

    Grouse are in season here in Idaho. I had a good day chasing them with my pedersoli shotgun. I managed to take 2 of them and saw some mule deer. Now I need to find a good recipe for them.

    12 gauge load confusion.

    I just got my first BP shotgun, bought it off of this forum. I'm looking for wads and cards to buy so I can feed it but I'm confused about what I should be getting. It's marked as a 12g and the cards/wads I'm finding give a diameter of ~.740. When I measured the bore of my barrels they both come...

    Queen Anne pistol kit questions.

    This will be the first gun I have put together (can't really justify claiming a build sense all I have to do is finish and assemble). Naturally I have a few questions. Just to get it out of the way, I don't have easy access to power tools, so most of what I do will be done by hand, and I bought...

    Pietta 1860 colt cylinder depth?

    I'm wondering if anybody could tell me what the cylinder depth of the Pietta 1860 colt army .44 cal is? I'm working on putting a jig together to make paper powder cartridges for it and want to make sure I make them short enough to leave room for the over powder wad and ball. Frost

    Navy Arms 58 cal Value?

    In an upcoming auction there will be a Navy Arms .58 cal going up on the block. I'm wondering what should I be willing to pay or if it's even worth getting it?

    I'm wanting to work up loads for my 50 cal rifle for both target shooting and hunting. Do any of you have some advice on what load to start with and how to fine tune it to get the most effective loads? I plan on shooting a .495 rb with .010 patch using 3f Goex. Thanks, Frost

    Possibles bag patterns?

    Do any of you know were I might be able to find some reliable patterns for various possible bags? I'm looking for stuff within the 1700 to 1860 time frame. I know that is a wide range of time, but I have not decided on a relative time period to depict as of yet. Thanks, Frost
