The Lyman rifle is hard to beat. Mine shoot's the roundball, and the conical's very well. The rifle is reasonably priced. And IMO the quality is top notch. You may be able to buy more expensive rifle's, but I will put mine up against them. I only wish it had a set trigger. Tom.

I just found out my brothers neighbor has a flintlock for sale for $100. The neighbor knows abosolutely nothing about the rifle becauseit was his Dads...can't wait to check it out, it might me a great find...fingers crossed.

I have a T/C Firestorm and really like. The removable breech plug is nice, it sparks decently well and shoots 245gr powerbelts really well. It doesn't have a set trigger, but I keep my shots at 50yds and in, so it's not a problem for me personally to deal with that trigger. It's supposedly designed for pellets,and a buddy of mine shoots Pyrodex pellets out of his and it's very dependable for him. I have yet to try them myself.
