RE: Traditions Buckhunter ?

My rule of thumb on used guns is not to pay more than 2/3 of new value, and that’s if the gun is in excellent condition. For MLs check out the barrel really well, if there is any signs of rust or...

About 6 yrs ago I bought a CVA Bobcat from Wally world for $75.00. It turned out to be a very expensive decision. You see the gun shot great, and I remembered why I liked hunting ( I had all but...

RE: wanting to get started in muzzleloading have ?

CVA guns are fine, but as you get into MLing you' ll will notice a difference in quality. I own a CVA and think its a great gun, but I also own MLs that cost 3 to 5 times as much as my CVA, and...

RE: Neophyte Question About Powder

ML are like any other gun, they all seem to like some loads better than others. Go to the range and experiment with different powder/bullet combos until you find on. I agree with the previous post,...

RE: BLACKPOWDER HELP!!!!

For the price you listed any ML in that range would be a great gun. Any of hte Knights and TCs would be a great choice.

I really prefer the traditional route, so my experiance with in-lines is...

RE: Best caliber?

First check the regualations, if your state allows a .45 for Elk, they will have a minimum on the projectile weight.

In general I would say a .50 or a .54 for elk, this isn' t to say a .45...

RE: bullet drop from 100 to 200 yds

200 yards is a very long shoot for any ML. If you are required to use open sights, its even longer.

If you zero you gun at 100 yards drops will be well over 10" for just about any...

RE: Type of Powder?

Right the " in" powder is Triple 7. Try in a 2fg cut and, if you have a load worked out reduce it by about 10 grains, simply becuase T7 is hotter than the other powders. T7 cleans up easy and...

RE: some questions....

I agree that the Lyman Great Plains flinters are a step above the 150 to 250 dollar guns, but they don' t come in 1:48 you get either 1:32(I think, it might even be faster) or a 1:60. Lyman does...

RE: Winchester APEX

My understanding of the Apex is that, instead of a bolt with a firing pin (much like a bolt action rifle), which most in-line ML, have, the Apex has a sort of hammer.

My experience is that the...
