Any muzzleloader guys out there want to share some knowledge with a fledgling smokepoler??
I'm interested in tradition rifles and wonder what kits to stay away from. Also, what's the nicest stuff?
I'm thinking .50 caliber and patched balls for now. Maybe a second gun wil be .45 and conicals. Plinking, learning, then Sitka black-tails. (this will be for winter hunts, with no bears around). Advice?
Yeah, I've been surfing the web for info.
But I put a bit more trust in this airplane group than I do those other guys, though I know there is much knowledge there ( and I'm assuming there's some here :lol: )
Thanks ahead of time.
I bought a tinder-lighter kit (like a flint pistol with a candle-holder and a pan that the spark goes into so you can light the tinder and then the candle) and assembled it as a 'test-project'. I need to pick up a flint to see if the thing will spark. I'll practice some carving and ingraving on it before I start a big project.
Thanks, DAVE
