white rifles
 

just wondering if anybody out there still shoots the white shooting systems rifles. i have a G series .50 cal. was wondering if could be changed over to use 209 primers?

RE: white rifles
 

There are a few that still shoot the White Rifles BUT
finding a 209 convertion system may be kinda hard , [X(]

RE: white rifles
 

Yep I have 4. 2 White S91's, onein .504 and the other in.451. 2 White Lightnings in .504. All 4 of mine are set up up with the #11 nipple. The White Rifles website is up again, they might have some 209 kits left.

RE: white rifles
 

I have a 209 system for my Model 97 (thatI do not use)and I do think it would fit the G series White as they breech plugs can be changed out. BUT I am not sure if the hammer would work. The 209 does take a special hammer. Why not email White Rifles and see if they have a converter kit. Or if it can even be done. I was told they are back up and running with parts..

Personally I would just shoot the #11 cap. If you shoot loose powder, that #11 system is all you need. Just make sure to use a quality cap like the RWS, CCI magnum, or the Remington 40% hotter #11 cap. They all work on my Whites and I have shot them in all kinds of weather with little problems.

Also making sure the rifle is ready to shoot is very important. Swab that barrel, pop a couple #11 caps through the breech plug first, then load. After that, the rifle shoot fine. Also if you have a rifle where the #11 fits real tight, take some Emory paper and polish that nipple just a little down so the caps fit tight, but fit all the way onto the nipple snout. Actually a #11 cap is a lot more weather proof then you might think.

Lot's of us still shoot Whites.:D My advise is to forget the 209 idea so far as your G-Series. Too much flash and blowback - more often than not.

I have a White M97 U-Mag and the 209 breech plug is all I shoot from it. There certainly is some blow back from the powder charge but I do not think it is that much more than a #11 breech plug.

Cayugad is correct you will probably need a different hammer also as you need a pin in the end of the hammer.

I think if you shoot a White, and I am not all that familiar with the G series you are going to need some sort of scope protection if you are mounting a scope.

I just wrap mine is a camo cloth and it works just fine...

That's an ugly stock you have there Mike. Are you saving the purty one for a special occasion??? :D

RE: white rifles
 

I happen to be VERY FONDof that stock he has there. I like them. A bit heavy mind you, but they soak up the recoil like mad. I have that same on my White Ultra Mag .503 and my White M97 .451. I bet you're one of them black plastic type there Cascadedad... :D:D:D

RE: white rifles
 

Dave, I was just funnin with Mike. He's got that ugly (pretty), one-of-a-kind camo stocks that everyone likes to give them a hard time about. Maybe he can post a picture of it to show it off a little....

RE: white rifles
 

Casacadedad I knew you were kidding but I had to give you a little grief and tease you... You must mean that Jackson Pollock style one he has... or is that on one of his Omega's. That man has so many rifles I lost track of all of them.

RE: white rifles
 

Gosh Dave, you mean there is someone with more rifles than you??? I think I have you on number of Whites but in the total number you blow me away.

RE: white rifles
 

Its a shame that it is so hard to get bullets and other stuff for the white muzzleloaders, they are great guns

RE: white rifles
 

Cascadedad- Good to seeya on the web, miss hearin from you and seein what the kids are up to

I know it it is kind of unheard of... but White will shoot a sabotted bullet better than most... I shoot a .458/300 grain (45-70) in an MMP Orange sabot as well as several other combinations. But if you want to shoot conicalsthat is not a real problem for a White... the guys @ DWB have kinda helped set up Dan in Alaska to produce the conicals they need for the Whites, he has a tremendous variety of conicals. They are well made and perform great...

I did not choose the stock - it chose me... it was the only one available! but you know what it shoots great and it really grows on ya! What ever you do do not lay it down in the woods you will never find it...

RE: white rifles
 

It does seem to grow. ;)

RE: white rifles
 

Yes, many people, you included,own more Whites and rifles then I do. I am a light weight in the inline department. Actually now that I stopped buying rifles and barrels, I feel much better now.. :D

RE: white rifles
 

Cereally der Mike, I kind of like that stock. It's pretty tame compared to Sloppy's Purple Paper Eater. :D
