Your family has had a long journey and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I use Ahlmans in Morristown, Minnesota. I've been happy with everything that they have done for me. There smiths are certified to do warranty work for several major gun manufacturers.

I love it Guy! That is what muzzleloader hunting should be! My first was a Lyman Great Plains and the current is a Lyman Deerstalker with a receiver sight and a 28" Green Mountain barrel that has been converted to be fired using musket caps. Over time I did acquire an inline equipped with a...

I'm sorry but these are getting so far from the traditional muzzleloader that I can't get excited about them. There are several custom ones on the market that are even worse. They are more like modern rifles less the use of a cartridge case to hold the projectile and powder.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person to spill powder. Lol..I just wish it had only happened once.

I've noticed that the smoke doesn't smell like normal burning wood. It has a bit of a burnt plastic smell.

If I had a vote it would go to the 1873.

I love my Garmin and don't miss the old days of setting up sky screens, they made work out of going to the range. I tried a MagnetoSpeed before getting the Garmin but it was a pain to keep in-place. I used it sparingly to check velocity and then removed it to shoot groups.

Same here is Wisconsin, HOT! Today the air quality alert says "Very Unhealthy". I'm continuing to work on completing indoor projects and limiting my outside activities.

I have worked with several Brownings and found them to be very finnicky when it comes to ammunition and loads. But before you spend lots of money on new ammunition I would loosen and retorque everything, mounts and bottom metal to receiver. Note to bring front receiver screw to full torque...

I was on the Wisconsin National Guard pistol team years ago and all of our outdoor shooting was 25 and 50 with .22LR, centerfire (.38Spl), and .45ACP. That is what I got use to and have stayed with it. The indoor range that we had for winter shooting was limited to .22LR and 50'. My small game...

It depends on the on what I'm hunting and the day. For small game (squirrels) it is spot and stalk or at daylight just set and wait. Upland game is hunting with a dog but I've not done that since my Springer passed. Turkeys are run and gun and a blind if it is raining. Varmints are setup and...

I have levers in .22 Mag, 30-30, 30-06, .38-40, .358 Win, .44 Rem Mag and .45-70. They are a hoot to shoot and hunt with, and I've taken deer with a couple of them. My addition to this lineup would be a Winchester model 71 .348 Win, if I could find the right one. This would be a plain model 71...

IMR4350 with a 140 grain Nosler Solid Base has provided good results in both my .280 Ruger #1B and my Remington 700 Mountain Rifle.

A 600 Remington is a sweat little rifle to carry and should make a good varmint rifle with almost anything 50 grains and up. I previously owned one in .222 and currently have one 6.5 Remington Magnum, which I used to harvest an nice Wisconsin 8-pt last November.

I personally am a fan of the 35 Whelen, even though I own a .338-06 Ackley Improved. The 338 doesn't do anything the Whelen can't. I have a new Winchester model 70 Featherweight in 30-06 that I plan to have JES rebore and chamber to a Whelen, 4 grove 1:14" twist. This rifle is light, quick...

I don't wear latex but I do wear cotton when I handle cleaned brass to keep the finger prints off it. I know it sounds kind of anal but I like to keep it shiny.

My favorite .45 revolver is a model 625 S&W. Revolvers with western style grips seem to move too much in my hands when I shoot.

You both look very happy. Congratulations!

Now that you've fireformed that brass in your rifle try loading with it again to see if the problem is corrected. You should be able to see if primers are seated properly and are not protruding. You could purchase a box of factory ammo to verify that it isn't a rifle problem. If you really want...
