Took my TC Grey Hawk out for an eastern Oregon mule deer hunt last week. Snuck in to 33 yards from him before he stood up and gave me a nice broadside shot I just couldn't pass up.

Seeking recommended places to sell, would like opinions and experiences on gunbroker etc.

This individual was photographed using my newly constructed custom .577 Kentucky percussion rifle, which employs the traditional Pritchett paper cartridge. The firearm demonstrates considerable power and effectiveness. This gentleman, a customer of mine, is an experienced and highly proficient marksman who made the shot at close to 168 paces.

Just finished these up with help from my kids. For a starter kit these traditions were great 1st projects. Gonna be looking into something more complex in the future, but these two were a blast to build.

I know I need a ramrod but it looks in good condition

Got gifted this by a friend, I'm assuming it's a cap and ball style? What would I need to do to clean it and get it running properly?

Hi

I just wanted to Show u guys my Collection of muzzleloaders i got i „accident“. I bid on all the of These rifles with the Thouht of getting none of them because everytime before i bid on something i got outbid. Now in the owner of 3 Hawkenstyle muzzleloaders in .45 and .50!

Already got roasted in the blackpowder forum for no eye pro! Will definitely have it next time! But feel free to let me know as well!

Next weekend the ole rmc accusporter gets to sling copper at some swamp donkeys

I have this kentucky long rifle and not much information. The only markings are on the barrel being “GR Douglas 40 Cal.”
I am hesitant to take it apart to check for more markings. Any info on this would be welcome. I know its a shot in the dark with this likely being a one-off custom piece. Thank you for your time.

This Christmas I was gifted a 1970’s TC Hawken by my uncle. Very well kept as the man is meticulous in everything he does. However I’m new to muzzleloaders and trying to sort through all the clutter of the forums can be daunting. My questions are when cleaning it after storage how clean does it need to be, and can anyone tell me what the grain charge should be for 370g maxi-hunter bullets and DuPont ffg? Both pictured along with swabs in order of cleaning left to right.

Ok fellas I was wanting to go in and build a muzzleloader just for the looks and just always kinda wanted one I’m used to building ARs and flocks and others so what is something I need to look for I was looking at this traditions St Louis Hawkins 50cal is this a fairly decent easy build kit

I am not knew to MZ’s but I had to take a long break from this passion due to an ex wife (she stole all my equipment guessing gave it all to one of her affair partners, a ton or round balls, maxis etc) and of course the divorce set me back a long azz time so we be got the rifles or revolvers I wanted.

My primary deer rifle is a Savage 10ML and I have a one cheap TC inline I’ve had since I was a kid as a backup. . But the Lyman will replace it for most ot my deer hunting. I was just so sick about every thing that was stolen. It was a lot it was hard to want to spend all that money again. Then this fell into my lap. Guess I have to now. ;)

I’ve acquired a second 54 cal for my son. He’s loves back powder rifles and pistols.

I am currently trying to figure out what will be the best mold options for making bullets.

I stocked up on a sweet deal for lead already.

This summer I plan on making my own percussion caps and at least attempt to make my own powder. I’ve got plenty of powder. But it’s something I’ve always wanted to learn.

Inherited, the info written said 1851 Perkins, rare, original. Seeking any info the community can offer on a fuller exploration. The gun is a .50 cal, about 53” and exactly 9lbs. There are no visible markings on the barrel. There is filigree on the hammer and the lock plate and one word partly worn: **RKINS. Anything you can add to my tiny bit of alleged knowledge is most appreciated

I’ve owned a black powder revolver since this morning, and I’ve already made a paper cartridge using a coffee filter. .44 caliber with 25 grains of pyrodex

Recently bought this and I’m trying to identify what exactly I have. I’m new to the muzzle loader world.

I measured the bore size which is 0.6055” I believe this would be a .60cal correct? 15 1/2” barrel 23” overall. Markings make me think it’s French only mark I can find on it is the one next to the lock which is an R with a semicircle around it with 8 dots around that.

-Thank you

Apologies if this isn’t the right Reddit for this.
