Default Laws of Muzzle Loading


Semisane"™s Ten Laws Of Muzzle Loading


1. Whatever worked yesterday will not work today.

2. Whatever works for your buddy will not work for you.

3. No matter how much gear you bring to the range, you will need something you left home.

4. Heavier or lighter bullets will probably shoot better than what you are using.

5. Heavier or lighter powder charges will probably shoot better than what you are using.

6. The best muzzle loader to have is one that loads from the muzzle - lock style and ignition methods are not relevant.

7. The more people watching, the worse you will shoot.

8. Dry holes happen (see law #7).

9. You don"™t shoot often enough.

10. You need one more gun.

Wish I could narrow it down to three, but there's inlines- caplocks - flintlocks - underhammers - mules ear lock........
And I've never had an underhammer yet!
Any good recommendations on what model and where to buy it?
