When I say this I don’t mean a cartridge shooting bore rifle or a muzzleloading rifle using smokeless and a scope etc. No sabots, monometal a (except lead).
I mean a true proper style muzzleloader, 12 bore or larger, percussion or flintlock. Using the holy Black.
Why’d you chose it? Story? Pics? Video?
Even if someone you know did it instead of you then I’d love to hear about it.
Or even just any internet articles you’re aware of I can read.
I think if I wanted to try it I’d opt for an 8 bore with hardened round ball. 4 bore is just too much to want to practice with.
Im going through a phase again of interest in muzzleloaders, as my 10 bore (large 10 at .797”) Fergusson is slooowly edging closer to completion. Needs a bit more metalwork and then a stock made. Its chamber is cut for a reasonably light (for caliber) load of 160gr 2F behind a 770gr (ish) pure lead round ball.
Why this? Didn’t want massive charges since it won’t be used for dangerous game.
