    Most commonly owned THR "obsolete" caliber.....

    I have a M92 Winchester rifle in 38WCF ( built 1911) and a matching Colt New Service in the same caliber (built 1907) Both were carried by my Grandfather in the 19 20-37 time as a Volunteer Deputy Sheriff in Mississippi. He was a cotton farmer and took the job because it included a telephone.

    M1 shooting in the 60's and the eventual passing of the M1 as a service rifle

    I still shoot a Garand at Highpower Matches. I bought a Blue Sky 1945 Springfield Garand that would keyhole at 50yds!!. The barrel stamp was so deep that you could feel it with a tight cleaning patch. I accepted the challenge!! It took a year, but I now have a very accurate M1. The only item...

    How is NICS notified if someone is convicted of a felony or a dishonorable discharge

    I know that the USMC is just as bad. I was put into a "light duty" pool after getting 3 ribs cracked in training. Because of my previous "secret" security rating I was placed at a desk where I would read and modify reports that were to be released for public use. There was a 3 month backlog...

    The only 16.5" lever gun I could recommend with those loads aint made no more. Winchester m94 "Trapper" still out there but not as affordable as before. Oneshooter

    Demonstrating the SASS Minimum BP Smoke Cloud

    When I was shooting Sharps rifles in competition we would have to call a halt on the range on windless humid days. After 3-4 shots from 20-30 big bore buffalo rifles you could not see the 200yd chickens, not to mention the 500yd rams.

    inline help

    I am VERY old school. My recommendation would be to get / build a 44", 50cal, 1-72 twist full stock flint lock and learn to shoot it. Then you will have a proper ML rifle that will kill deer all day long out to 100yds. Like I said, I am VERY old school.

    Why not a Wal-Mart $114 muzzle loader?

    If you plan to hunt with "it". Then check your local laws, some states have outlawed "them" for hunting during ML season. Oneshooter Livin in Texas

    black powder in shot shells????

    One dram is 27.5 grains. Try 2 1/2drams (68-70gr) of Pyro RS. Top that with a modern shotcup, before loading it put some stiff lube in the cusion part, 1 1/8oz of shot and crimp. As a lube, try a 50/50 mix of Bore Butter and beeswax, or crisco/beeswax in the same formula. Oneshooter...
