Some BP questions
Re: Some BP questions
Not trying to offend to each there own. I dont have any inline muzzleloaders at my house. Im a traditional guy. I dont shoot sabots or anything that resembles a bullet in my muzzleloaders. I just like the old side lock flint and cap. When I stuff mine its with real black and a round ball. Like I said not at all trying to offend its just me. I know there are alot of the inlines out there and they have a big following.

Re: Some BP questions
Oh heck! I take no offense at all. I found this place and stuck around because it’s totally supportive. Nothing but a friendly heckle now and then. Tons to learn. And ya’ll do some pretty cool stuff. I should apologize anyway - kind of highjacked a thread. Guess I got excited. I’ll blame it on the upcoming hunting season.BigAl52 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 11:03 pmNot trying to offend to each there own. I dont have any inline muzzleloaders at my house. Im a traditional guy.

Re: Some BP questions
Since the title of the thread is about Black Powder I dont nor would I think anyone else considers it a Hijack at all to ask or include the inlines. I love talking about the Black Powder guns. Besides Ive been trying to enable North Country Girl for awhile to get her to shooting some BP again.zara_puppy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:24 amOh heck! I take no offense at all.

Re: Some BP questions
Lots of guys like the Lyman Great Plains rifles. Because of the Hawken styling. I do to and own one in a flint 54 caliber. But I also really like my Lyman Trade rifle. It has a single trigger and its a good trigger. It also comes in flint. It gets overlooked alot in my opinion but its a great handling and shooting gun. I changed out the front sight on mine because Lymans front sight blade is thicker than I like. Bought one from track of the wolf.

Re: Some BP questions
Here's an interesting twist...looks like have to buy black powder in stores, don't see any that will ship it. Might be tough to find around here.
**found some in Calgary...GOEX all variations

Re: Some BP questions
Where/how do you folks store your black powder? I keep my plastic jugs of Universal in a locked steel cabinet in the house/reloading room. We don't have A/C but even now with it 90+ outside the plastic jugs are cool, and I leave the lids loose to prevent pressure buildup. But BP is a little more volatile I imagine.
