    T/C Gone??

    Am I wrong or did T/C dropped trational muzzle loaders all together? I know they reduced their traditional line to just the .50 caliber Hawkens in percussion and flint. I checked the T/C web site the other day and noticed the Hawkens are no longer offered. :idunno: :idunno: :idunno:

    Black Fox

    I watched this movie on Netflix the other night. It takes place in Texas at the out break of the Civil War. The Union troop that were stationed along the Texas frontier were ordered to the east for the war, leaving the settlements open to Indian attacks. I noticed that a lot of the civilians...

    Powder, Inc.

    Just got back from California. I stopped in Clarksville, AR, which is on I-40 and the home of Powder, Inc. They are nice people to deal with. I picked up a load of Goex for $12 per pound. Just had to give them a call in advance. For those who are close to them, that is one heck of a saving...

    Great Range Day

    I had to replace the front sight on my .45 Pedersoli Blue Ridge flinter, with a silver blade from Track of the Wolf. My favorite load for this rifle is .440 ball, pillow ticking lubed with Ballistol and 70 grains of FFFg Goex. After the first five shots I had a 1" group that was 1" right and...

    RMC vent liner

    I've heard some of the members talk about how good the RMC vent liners were. When Cabela's put them in the bargain cave for $1.88, I had to try it. When I installed it in my .54 GPR flinter, I noticed the liner was too long. I had to trim off about 1/8th" for it to install properly. I also...

    My First T/C

    After all these years of shooting black powder, I've never shot a T/C Hawkens. I have two .54 Lyman GPRs, one cap and one flint, and one Pedersoli Blue Ridge .45 flint. I saw a .54 T/C Hawkens on one of the aution sites and placed a bid for the heck of it and won. Paid just over $200 for it...

    GPR Flint Lock Time

    After I completed my .54 GPR flint kit, I had a real problem with slow ignition and flash in the pan. Rebel suggested drilling out the touch hole to 5/64", coning the outside of the vent liner and drilling out the inside of the liner. I did the first two and it really helped with ignition and...

    .54 CVA Hawkens

    I have a friend who wanted to get into black powder, but things were pretty tight for him. He is rebuilding a house for his mother. Since I'm relocating, I gave him all my casting gear, which most of it was set up for .54. He loved my Lyman GPR, but was always just out of reach for him. Then...

    Lyman GPR .54 Flint kit

    I've had my .54 GPR percussion for 25 years. It's a strong rifle and a straight shooter. Being my first muzzleloader, it's my first love (don't tell the wife). I fell in love with flintlocks in my Pedersoli Blue Ridge. I thought my next step should be a GPR flinter, .54 of course. I wanted...
