    These days the Muzzleloaders are my first go to guns, that one is a Thompson Center 50cal Hawken. Home cast ball, homemade Black Powder... probably about 2c a shot.

    Is that one of them Swedish sharpshooter Volvo slings?

    Nah think that one was a seatbelt out of a Daihatsu. Bit of an upgrade from the binder twine off the hay, though not as useful.

    For some reason I've lately been tempted to buy a Lyman Trade rifle (percussion) for goats and fallow. Just for fun and fancy. also; I'm trying to do a bit of the self sufficiency thing and thought it would be a nice nod to that. But mainly just because it seems to be a cool thing to try! A bit like preferring my old SMLE to my fancy pants 7-08....

    You can do BP loads for your SMLE. Say, shooternz does and sells nice .312" 212grain lead pills.

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Your hand writing is impeccable @Carlsen Highway, have you and your flintlock time-traveled from the 17th century?

    Ah yes; but it's not a muzzle loader though
