In my opinion, for a Production gun, the Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken is the "best" one out there, and perhaps the only true production replica out there. I have had one for years in 54 caliber, which has a 1-65 twist barrel. Mine shoots a patched round ball OR a Hornady GP conical very accurately.Central pa. Nov 17, 2021. #4. Jim Chambers kits are the best kits I've put together. They require more fitting skills than the Kibler kits but are more easily customized. I've put a number of them together for customers. Chambers locks are the standard that all the rest of the locks in the hobby are measured. BJH.This community needs YOUR help today. We rely 100% on Supporting Memberships to fund our efforts.

I have been distracted by those flashy new cartridge rifles. :nono: A short time ago I was lucky enough to acquire a Lyman 39538 mould that throws a .40cal hollow base, basically a Minie, bullet. The slug weighs 134gr in 40-1 alloy. I thought they might go rather well in my Colerain barrel Wesson rifle.

Spence.Pyrodex will often fail to fire in a flintlock. It has a higher ignition temperature than pure black. Some shooters start with a 5-10 grain load of real black powder and then some Pyrodex over that. Sounds like a lot of fussing and won't solve your problem. You will need real black powder to prime, for sure.Hi, You should buy Ricky Robert and Bryan Brown's little book "Every Insult and Indignity" which is a short history of the rifle and Ferguson and it describes their intensive experiments with powder, ball, and lubrication. Use a mix of beeswax and either mutton tallow or Crisco melted together to lubricate the threads. Dip the screw plug into the warm melted wax and tallow mix.Feb 9, 2015 · 40 Cal. There are many variables to consider when working up a load for any muzzleloading rifle. Bore size, rare of twist, patching material for round ball, powder type, lube for your bullet/patches. all of these things will affect accuracy and the type of powder you use and the best charge to use.

I have a Pedersoli Kentucky in .50cal with both the flint lock and percussion lock.

I would not buy another single trigger only, though would if it had the double set ... That rifle, as I seem to recall, was offered in .40 and .36. The .40 was touted as "the" deer caliber with the .36 being "the" all around rifle. I drooled over the pictures and read then read some more.
