I’m an old dog wanting to learn some new tricks. I’ve built a few black powder rifles and I would like to go to the next step. I am interested in learning to do some basic stock carving such as scroll work and simple designs. Any body that can help an old guy out, give me a shout. I am...
I am interested in shooting some long-distance either in competition or just at AGC. I have been looking at Ruger, sigsauer and Howa rifles. I would like to stay under $2000 for a rifle and scope combination. I have been working mostly at 6.5 Creedmoor what that is not carved in stone. I’m old...
I talked myself out of splurging on a high dollar progressive press. I want to go with either a turret or single stage press. Is there any place besides Midway and Brownells to search for decent deals. I like supporting small business when I can.
I am really enjoying black powder shooting. I ordered a Jim Kibler Southern Mountain Kit with extra fancy maple stock. It will be 2 to 3 months before delivery. I just built a traditions kit for "practice". It turned out pretty well except for the stock. They use trash wood, and it shows. I...

Does anyone make their own black powder? I was doing a bit of online research. I saw one formulation that was very complex that involved boiling the product and having hot alcohol and then drying the finished product. I saw another that basically just powdered the components into a very fine...
Greetings all;
I just ordered a traditions 50 caliber percussion muzzleloading kit. I do like to work with my hands and I'm looking forward to the building process. I'm a lifelong gun enthusiast but brand-new to black powder. I'm well aware of all of the shortages of ammunition and...
I have been seeing ads for non regulated arms that indicate they want to have the transfer completed before I believe March 1. Is there a new regulation kicking in concerning non regulated weapons? If so, that would be a huge surprise since Maryland is so 2A friendly.
I am getting back into reloading. I had a Dillon 650 many years ago and sold it. I have been debating between the new RL1100 and the XL750. I am not an extremely high volume shooter, but I would rather buy the best once, and deal with fewer hiccups and regrets. Any advise before I write the...
