    Lead temp for casting

    Is there an ideal temperature for casting bullets. I have never checked the temp as I cast my bullets but have noticed that I must set the heat differently on different days, I assume because of the ambient temp outside.

    Green Mountain Fast twist 45 flintlock

    My 45 TC Hawkin was a so so shooter with the factory barrel and conicals. I thought a fast twist would be the hot ticket. Since Green Mtn. didn't have a fast twist LRH barrel in flintlock configuration I devised a plan. I think it was 2 years ago that I bought a 45 LRH in percussion from them...

    Brass polishing

    Does anybody know an easy way to polish the brass and keep it that way? As I have gotten more guns with brass on them the polishing just tends to eat up a lot of time and it doesn't stay looking good for long. Mostly I am interested in getting it to stay looking good for longer.

    TC 56 smoothbore load?

    I have a TC 56 smoothbore that I have been playing around with and can't seem to find a single repectable load. I have been using .530 and .535 balls I had on hand and a variety of patch thicknesses and powder charges. I was thinking of getting some .550 balls and trying those. Anybody have some...

    TC Hawken Price?

    I happened to be in Gander Mountain the other day and stopped to look at a new TC Hawken flinter in the rack. The price on it was $699.00. I think the last time I looked they were a lot less. Is this because they are going to quit making them? I like my TC guns but not at that price, I'll find...

    Bullet Lube

    I want to lube some REAL bullets and wanted to make my own lube. I remember seeing it on here but could not find it in a search. I got some beeswax from a friend and I need to know what else to add to it. I thought about melting this in an old pot and dipping the bullets in. Anyone try...

    The state of muzzleloading today

    Watching TV this morning I saw an ad for a muzzleloader specific scope with little reticle dots to allow you to shoot out to 250 yds. What has the sport become? These are the guys that cry, at least here in PA, that it is unfair that our ML season is flintlock and open sights. PA did however...

    Cap Problems

    I recently picked up a Renegade. When I was shooing it today I had problems with caps getting stuck in the hammer. It was a problem with nearly every cap I fired. I was using CCI #11 magnum caps. I have had caps get stuck in other guns but not like this. It required a small screwdriver to pick...

    Lucky Number Thirteen

    The PA flinlock season ended yesterday and things weren't looking good for me. I have taken at least one deer every year for the past 13 seasons. This year I was getting skunked. I decided to go to my friends camp to hunt with him. When we got there I took my gun out of the case and not looking...
