I got the fever...bad!

[BowHuntingFool]

Well I found a pretty good deal on a Lyman Deerstalker Flinylock .54 with a 1/48 twist!!!!!! This is my 2nd muzzleloader, I bought a Lyman GPR flintlock over tis past summer and got to hunt with it this year. Too much fun!!!!! The deerstalker should be here by Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I need to find a good load for the roundball...any suggestions!

I will guess 90 grains of Goex 2f and a .530 patched roundball. Congratulations on the rifle. Keep us posted on how it shoots for you..

You do got the fever...

Be careful on the Fever, you may like the ML better than the bow and you would have to change your screen name. :->

Well fellas the UPS man stopped by today, I wasn't home!!!!! I was in the woods Bowhunting, when I got home I pulled in the driveway the Deerstalker was leaning against the side door all bundled up! Sure is a sweet gun! I'm hoping to get out tomorrow to shoot the Flinter, we'll see!!! I really like the balance of this gun, the sights are excellent! It is going to be fun sighting her in!


Sure is WARM in here......Hmmmm....what to buy next! [8D]

A lot of 54 shoot best with a 530 ball but some need a 535 so if you want the best possable results try both. Lee
