Picked up a Griswold and Gunnison .44 BP Revolver. It has a brass frame. I was told you should be careful with type and load with brass revolvers, any truth? Also with a revolver like this, Whats the loading scheme like? As in Powder, wad(lubed?), ball(lubed???), etc.? Thanks guys.

I was told 2f in .50 cal and up, 3f below .50. More and more I research I find people are using 3f in pretty much all there rifles cause they claim its more accurate and cleaner. Anyone have any insight or opinions on this? What caliber and kind do you use? Thanks guys.

I can contest to that. Just got home from there. Seems every time I go out it's $200-300 haha

Yes I was and yes I am Jim. It was my pleasure. I'm happy to help anyone with what ever I can. Hope to see you at the next shoot in a couple Weeks. should be able to let you shoot some more then as it's a little different setup.

Well I kicked the froglube to the curb. Even emailed them with the problem. They gave me the run around and even said some times there product is best used with additional oils or grease's. So im pretty pissed at that. But I went shooting on Thursday and put about 20 shots through her. Took her home and flushed her with water, then a little soap in a bucket of warm water. Mopped the bore till water and patch were clean. Then used the cva foaming bore cleaner for a hour. After the hour, used some ballistol and swabbed the bore. After that i sprayed some seafoam deep creep in(wd40 but better) and that's it. I cleaned the hammer and other parts as well. Took the barrel out today and looked down it. Shiny and no rust. Ran some patches and no rust as well. So I hope it stays. Dave, im going to try some of your stuff as soon as i get to the store. Thanks for the help guys.

come down to old bridge on Sunday. It's a NRA match but you can look and talk to myself and the guys there. A lot of guys who know there stuff and they are very helpful and friendly.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Froglube worked great in all my other guns. Muzzleloaders, it seems to be failing very badly. Will not be using it again on them.

Every time i clean my guns after a range trip, a couple days later its all rusted. what the heck am I doing wrong? After shooting,I go home and mop with warm water and little soap. then cva foaming bore cleaner, then froglube. Any idea's? rusting cant be good. Heres a pic, i cleaned this gun two days ago. thanks guys

from what I've heard from my buddy, no one shows up for the old bridge high power.

oh and yes he does have a lever

thanks guys

a buddy of mine asked if the 15rd mag law also applies to tubes like on a .22. If he loads it with shorts or another type he's way over. How do these guns stand?

Be aware Ken, it's very addicting! Haha

Picked up a .50 today. I paid $165 for it. I think it was a good deal. This is my first gun with double triggers. Whats the deal with that? Also looks like the rear sight is rigged a little.Its got a wood wedge under it. Seems a little crooked sighting down the barrel. Also has a wood wedge under it. Can it be replaced? Is it a easy fix? thanks guys.

That sounds fun Dave. Anyone can join just like the last time right?

Anyone going tomorrow?

If your interested in Flint or percussion then you have to go to Dixions by kutztown. Its amazing how much muzzleloader stuff they have!

I thought I heard that some muzzleloaders it doesn't count. Like Encore or rifles that switch barrels. Any truth?

What type of muzzleloader are you looking for? Inline, flint, percussion? You will find places that will ship to your door. I dont know if it is legal or not though. Used are not bad as long as they are in good condition.

I'm looking to get a pistol. I Called a reputable dealer to ask what they had. They told me some and they told me they had some used traditions pistols at great prices. The only bad thing was they told me they don't have a warranty with them. The Lyman's do though? Are traditions pistols that bad? Anyone have first hand experiences? Thanks guys.

Anyone have a .32 that they use to hunt small game with? Wondering you powder choice and projectile? Thanks guys.

How do you clean after shooting with black powder? Just looking for any good routine and products that you use. Thanks guys.

Just wanted to thank the guys that were at the Old Bridge Black powder Shoot today. It was a blast. I never met people more willing to help at a range before. It was just so fun and I can't wait to do it again. Thanks again guys, Hope I get a chance to go again!

The guy im going with is Ed. He says he goes to them a lot. You probably know him. By the way, i got the Cherokee tonight!
