Problem or Not?

The gun is a Traditions Frontier, 50 cal sidelock percussion.

After removing the cleanout screw I was surprised that I could not see the end of the ramrod (without any accessories on it).

Just starting... Plan to convert LK-93 to 209

RE: Just starting... Plan to convert LK-93 to 209

I did the same thing and like the 209 primers mainly because they are less likely to get wet and are quite robust. Winchester primers fit well but CCI primers do not.

RE: barrel twists

Hardyhunter,
Just my 2 cents worth but I would not reccommend light fast bullets for a muzzleloader. It seems as though companies are trying to convince us that 150 grains of powder with 150 or...

At the end of the season I used to coat the entire gun's metal parts including the bore with a heavy layer of Crisco shortening, the same stuff I used on my patches. I had absolutley no rust but 11...

RE: Unloading

In Michigan it is legal to transport your cased loaded muzzleloader as long as the cap is removed. I go one step further and with rubber bands affix a note saying "GUN LOADED" so I don't...

RE: "Black Powder Cleaner" or soap, water, Hoppes, ???

I have no idea what the real differences are. I clean my guns in a 5 gal bucket of hot water and dish soap. I have just begun to experiment with Simple Green in a spray bottle. I use Rem Oil to...

RE: mk-85 ? and load ?

My BK 92 is a MK85 with a cheap synthetic stock. 2 50 gr pellets and a 300 gr saboted bullet work great and I cannot imagine why you would want to increase recoil and expense except maybe if you...

RE: barrel length

It depends on a bunch of things; barrel diameter, tightness of sabot, bullet weight, type of powder, and ignition system. With a good barrel like Knight the main consideration is type of ignition...
