how about a 10 bore, made to take 10 Drams or so, and use a 3.5- 4oz bullet? lol That way, when you get tired of getting beat up by your gun, you can still use it to kill everything :ROFLMAO:. Those bore rifles are a slippery slope, you start out at 20, and say "eh, more's better right?" next...

These guys are who I buy all my barrels from. Good quality (the products and the people)!

ML guns are just as accurate as anything else (within reasonable hunting ranges, <300yd +-), they just make you work for it. My cheap .50 Tradition's FLintlock shoots 1.7 MOA average with bad sights and a hot hunting load (100gr charges and a .490 ball) from a Caldwell Fieldpod; If I were to put...

With a heavy lead bullet (hardened just enough to prevent nose-slump), I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the results, particularly with a fine powder and something like a paper-patched Accurate Molds 36-324P. I wouldn't hesitate on a reasonable shot on even an Eland. Long, heavy...

in 12 bore, a 1:75 is capable of stabilizing a .85" long 900gr (or 800gr) bullet (a .95" long 900gr bullet should still stabilize, but less so than I would prefer) at even 500fps lol. Once you get over 20bore, the rate of twist really slows down lol. A purely RB twist in 12bore would be...

I use a "cheap" 220lb knock off of the old-style Excalibur's (Chase-star) and a small 175lbs recurve one (bought when I couldn't afford better, never felt the need to buy "better"). I target shoot out to 75yd with the 175# one, 125yd with the 220#; and with good heavy darts, plenty accurate (I...

With Quality 220gr bullets, and being loaded to peak performance (within specs) for the chambering, .30-06 is capable within reasonable hunting ranges for everything non-DG up to Eland. Do not underestimate it. Those long bullets with controlled expansion SP's at smokeless velocities are...

Y'all are a bit silly lol. Millions of buffalo (hundreds of thousands of elephants and hippo, tiger, and lions) were killed around the world with muzzleloading guns, and the early breechloaders that were meant to be a faster-loading version thereof... if you have a .58, just load it like a heavy...

B.C. of 486gr .690 balls is roughly .095, even if you do get them up to 1800fps (you definitely can, even with BP- in a ML, French and Austrian musket loads only ran around 170gr of 2-1F and were intended to yield 1600fps), they only maintain 1526ft/lb at 100 yards. Sight height is .75" (1st...

I primarily hunt with BP guns, particularly muzzleloading guns, and there's a lot of stuff I can't use in some places in the world... not because it doesn't/hasn't worked, but because some politicians/bureaucrats have decreed that magically, the effective weapons of yesteryear don't work...

Some places in Africa (and elsewhere) require absurd energy levels for game, levels that were not commonly attainable even 140 years ago... when plenty of people had little trouble killing off the wildlife lol. The problem is that often times the people setting the reg's often are not intimately...
