Enter Me In The Swarovski Z5 Rifle Scope Contest

At 50 yards you oughta be shooting one big ragged hole off a bench old_heli_logger. How much powder you using and what kind? What's your patches look like...are they blown...if so I'd try a wonder wad or plain felt wad on top of the powder before the patched roundball is seated.

Good luck on your shooting my friend.

It's a pleasure to meet you my friend. Get to shoot much blackpowder?

I wouldn't of taken that second shot either. :)

My congrats. Have a story to go with it?

Looks like a modern cartridge rifle...kinda takes away what a traditional muzzleloading rifle is supposed to be. I don't understand why people even bother with them...other than just extending a season.

Goex is cheap and will be a better grade powder than you and your brother will make.

Any updates gal? Haven't ever shot the Kodiak but have owned a .58 many years ago...will handle anything on this continent with the load you were using.

Anyone left that shoots traditional instead of these rifles with plastic stocks, stainless steel barrels, scopes, replica powder and saboted bullets?

Sounds like you had a good time. ;) First chance you get I'd buy some regular blackpowder though...cheaper and better than replica.

Yep...I'm with Buffalobob...would like to see some pics of that shooter. ;) That's some right fine shooting with an old cartridge and iron sights my friend...something most folks now days couldn't do with out the set-ups they have. ;)

We had a little snow a couple days ago...so me and the little longrifle got out in it. Had a couple bobcats worked my stomping grounds ahead of me...figured that had something to do with only bringing the one home. Course it wasn't really a pleasant day either...can't tell it in the pic...but...

Yep...lots of folks under estimate them blackpowder cartridges. Still got them pics from when rdnck was shooting on your 1000 yard range?

Looks like everyone has you lined out...I'll add my 2 cents too. 1. 2f Goex powder will do you just fine. Swiss is a real good powder too but costly...can about buy 2 cans of Goex for the price of one Swiss. 2. Yep...you'll need a good adjustable powder measure for playing. Like Smitty said...
