I like that the Nikon Prostaff has the BDC reticle available. This Bushnell Elite has a similar reticle http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=BH323940BC&src=sim Any knowledge or experience of one being superior to the other? Thanks, GD

Skoro and greyling, thanks for the responses. How is the eye relief on the Weaver scope? The marksmanship shooting has you transitioning from standing to sitting to prone regularly so eye relief becomes a big issue. I'm not stuck on the Leupold, there is a VX-1 on sale locally so it was a...

I'm looking for recommendations for a scope to put on a Ruger Mini-14. It's intended purpose is to be used for the CMP (citizens marksmanship program) and Appleseed shoots, and maybe a prairie dog or two. I'm considering the Leupold VX-1 3-9x40, and would be grateful for any suggestions for...

I'm looking at two .22 semi-auto pistols the Sig Sauer Mosquito and Smith & Wesson 22A-1 for my teen and I to do some target shooting with. The price is the same for both so I'm asking for your knowledgeable opinions on pro's and cons of each. Thanks, G D

Thank you AbitNutz. No luck on GB but the kirst site will do the trick. Any recommendations on cheap ammo for target shooting with it? Thanks again, G D

ROA conversion cylinders I've spent the last couple of days reading up on conversion cylinders for the ROA, I have a 7.5" stainless. I'm trying to find a .45 acp stainless conversion cylinder for it and having no luck. Am I missing something? Any suggestions? I can find it in blued but not...

I,m relatively new to BP shooting, only been doing it a few years now. I've been loading BP pistols and letting them sit (in a pistol safe) as much to experiment as anything else. One thing I have learned is proper prepping of the cylinders before loading. I typically clean with WD 40 then oil...

I've been away form the forum for a while but I picked up a 20X20 on GB last fall with a ball mold and some other accessories for about $500. and have been having a blast with it. I have'nt started casting yet so I've been loading it with OOO buck and #5 shot. An interesting note on top of 50...

I've become a fan of cleaning my black powder shooters with WD-40. I typically shoot triple 7 or pyrodex and it cuts through the residue left by those easily. I then wipe them down. Enjoy your new ROA. G D

What about rolling a heavier paper (as apposed to a rolling paper, like we use for paper cartridges) and filling it with shot. Load powder, wad, paper cylinder with shot, then over shot card? I'ld try it but the only local place that sells shot sells it in 25 lbs. bags. GD

OK, a little self promotion. I've come across a new black Powder shooter that I want and need to justify it somehow. The pocket pistol is the one I shoot the least, so I'm listing it for sale. It's a good shooter and fun. If you have any questions PM me. Thanks, GD

Or... a Howdah on one hip and a six shooter on the other!

I don't have a conversion cylinder yet... But I've been looking at the threads for a while, when you are measuring smokeless powder for reloading are you doing it by weight or volume? Thanks, G D

I've been following this thread with interest. I've only been shooting BP for a couple of years now and only have pistols. Has anyone developed double ball loads for a .44 Remmy or a ROA? Or suggestions on how to safely work up multi ball loads for them. Thanks, G D

See if this link works, I was googling ML coach guns the other day and saw this at Cabela's. Very cool...
