Muzzleloading Start-up Guide

[@Mattytube18]

This is just what I needed! I have my first muzzleloader hunt in December.

You guys need to look into bullet resizers .over the years I found the bore sizes from. 498 to.504 .

Just starting muzzleloader. Using White Hots pellets and can only find Winchester 209 primers. Are they the right match for White Hots?

[@TwoStageTrigger]

If your gun is an in line, and takes 209 primers, they will work with any pellet powder.

[@willsmith2187]

Hey just got a CVA ACCURA LR -X 50 cal wht type of primer would you recommend Thanks

[@sanchito_del_ranchitodsanc622]

Its a magnum use magnum 209s

[@AlienMetals]

If you're using Blackhorn 209 I would recommend CCI 209 Magnum primers. If another powder is used you can use standard 209 primers.

Thompson/center hawken woodsman 50cal .. what primer should I use to try and fire this rifle

[@JRTRAPP1]

The "hawken woodsman" is a traditions product. If you have that or a TC hawken you will need #11 percussion caps assuming that you are using a standard nipple.

Why nothing about traditional muzzleloaders?

[@clintonlayne9253]

I believe he stated that the in lines and break opens are more popular. But for the Traditional Muzzleloader shooter T.C..Hawkins style rifles are hard to beat. Both CVA and Traditions are more affordable replicas . It's all about the advertising dollars .

Black powder TV will work. Dixie gun works has more selections for traditional muzzle loaders. For supplies, both Dixie gun works, Track of the wolf, and L&R locks will be the go to.

[@JRTRAPP1]

Need more coverage of traditional muzzleloaders instead of all this modern stuff.

[@curtiscrystalnelson7034]

You need to stop promoting pelletized powder and powerbelt bullets because they're both trash. You telling people they're going to save money on pellets over loose powder is an absolute lie because all they need for accessories is a powder flask and a powder measure which they can get for $20 but pelletized powder cost 3 and 4 times as much as loose powder does

[@chebonlee3544]

It helps just getting people into blackpowder, I started using them just because the learning curve was easier.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

it sucks the way people promote the sport of black powder here on youtube theres several videos here on youtube where the poster is is talking 2000 3000 to get into muzzle loading it doesnt cost near that amount of money and ill be posting a video myself showing true and factual nbwrs tomorrow evening hope you come by the channel to see it

@@GeorgiaRidgerunnerpelletized powder is faster and easier than loose

[@kevwebb2637]

Yet are preset. Only in 50 cal. Pellets cant be precise to 60 grains or 70 grains. True black powder shooting is not the same as modern. True black powder are primitive. Totally different and not compatible methods on modern muzzle loaders don't work on traditional muzzle loaders, only lead conicals and roundballs work with traditional muzzle loaders, real black powder works better with traditional muzzle loaders since the percussion caps will have a better time igniting, same with flintlocks as the flint wont light the triple 7 as it don't give enough spark. Modern muzzle loaders are just not compatible with traditional muzzle loaders especially traditional muzzle loaders are not capable of having a scope which will be at a disadvantage during muzzle loader season which is a good thing restrictions are placed on modern muzzle loaders to be more ballance with traditional muzzle loaders. True black powder is more discipline in care of the gun since it's real powder not substitute powder like triple 7. Traditional muzzle loaders like the jaeger rifle, 1766 Charleville, Brown Bess, Blunderbuss, Hawken, Kentucky rifle, Pennsylvania rifle, 1854 Lorenz(first successful firearm to use Guncotton), 1842 Springfield, 1853 Enfield, 1861 Springfield, Northwest Trade guns, Fowler, and the sbs muzzle loading shotguns. I find it far easier to maintain a sidelock of either flint or percussion than inline due to the action is on the lock plate not the rifle. There are videos for traditional Black powder muzzle loaders by traditional Black powder users. Black powder TV is better for start ups.

@@Certified_outdoorsman Not really sure where my original reply to you went but i said something to the effect of maybe pellets are faster but easier is certainly a topic that will be debated for years to come i dont own an inline but im certainly not opposed to owning one as it stands right now i like loose powder it can be measured to a specific amount and can be made at home pellets can not ill close by saying both traditional and inlines have strengths and weakenesses for examole some states have a muzzle loader season specifically for traditional muzzle loaders none have a season only for inlines also a huge weakness that i see with inlines is that most of them require the use of a tool to remove the breech plug traditionals do not at least none that im aware of
