IN less than 50 days our group of older hunters will be in unit 61 Colorado hunting cow elk. Last year was disappointing to our group as it was so hot and dry. Will this season be similar weather speaking? I know that it is dry in this unit at present. Do any of you think that some summer...

If someone had a new muzzle loader rifle (open sights) would you start out doing your practice shooting at 25 yards? Seems like someone told me that what ever a muzzle loader is doing at 25 yards the bullet will be the same at 100 yards. I intend on changing the open sights on my M.L. rifle from...

Recently, I purchased a new CVA Accura V2 muzzle loader rifle. Today, I did a little practice shooting.

Hunters, recently I purchased a Cannon gun safe and I need to know about what is the 'correct' humidity % to be maintained inside of it. I have two of the canister type de-humidifers inside the safe.

Hunters, I have experimented with several different powder choices; different bullets; and several 209 primers in my search for the best hunting load for my almost here 2015 Colorado cow elk black powder hunt. I am satisfied with using a hot CCI magnum 209 primer teamed with a 535 grain No...

Would any of you know of a wholesale or retail business that I could purchase a box of CCI Magnum 209 primers from? Would purchase a box of 100 of the Federal 209 magnum primers. Black Horn powder requires the hottest 209 primer available and I read on MM that these two were the hottest. I need...

Black powder hunters, two years ago I purchased an ignition replacement system from R&P Muzzleloading and was pleased with the improvement over my factory #11 cap system. Last season, I tried using the Black Horn powder in my Remington 700 ML rifle and was surprised to discover that my rifle...

Hunters, I did some target practicing this morning with the weather man cooperating. Used my newly 'tuned up' TC Encore .50. Had the trigger revamped and a new hinge pin installed. Put new Williams open sights on the barrel. Shot two three shot groups first using Black Horn powder at 110 grains...

Recently had a well versed and experienced gun shop owner to inform me that the CCI ML 209 primer and the CCI 209 shotgun primer was the exact same thing. I emailed the CCI company yesterday and one of their representatives immediately answered my question. He said that IN ORDER OF HOTNESS: CCI...

I did a little experimenting this afternoon using my TC Encore ML rifle, Black Horn powder and the Federal Premium bullets. The 209 primer was a CCI shotgun primer. My first session using this combination. The evening was hot at 91 degrees. I shot six times and each time the TC Encore .50...

Hunters, I have a TC Encore ML rifle in .50 caliber. The weapon is probably ten years old now. I am assuming that I can use the Black Horn 209 powder in it WITHOUT changing the original breech plug. I see where Texas Hunter advised a MM member change breech plugs in order to use the BH 209...

Do any of your MM members know a business that has 'in inventory' the sort of new Federal Premium Copper Bullets? If so, please list the name of the business and a phone number.

Early tomorrow morning, I plan on going to the range with a new can of Black Horn powder substitute. Seeking advice about using it ASAP. Should I clean the bore after each shot?
