Any Black Powder Action?
January 30, 2023, 07:00:19 AM
I will shortly be getting my Pedersoli Brown Bess ready for its first turkey season. I'm looking for the best way to go about it.
I've got #6 chilled lead, and enough 3F to get me through until Friendship in June. Here are my options as I see them
1) Skychief Method-- I've got all the fixings.

2) Shot Cup Method --

3) The Corn Muffin Mix Method--

4) The Candle Load Method -- I've not found much info on this, but basically, you imbed your shot in paraffin. It's something I heard about way-way back.
Most of my shots in the past 20-some seasons are within 16 yards, so I'm not too worried about distance.
How do y'all go about it?

This forum does have a Muzzleloader Section. Scan the main page. You'll see it. Some very knowledgeable guys on there. I sometimes use a Knight TK. Good luck.
