Thread: Help with black powder rifle

I'd follow Maca's advice, he knows his stuff.

A slug in .301 PP'd up to .308/.309 works great in my 308win with smokeless, might be a place to start.

Cheers for that any idea where i could get a mold of that size

Thanks for that but I really know bugger all! I have a guy I get info from and he has a library that is jus amazing. I think with BP you can experiment without killing yourself , within reason. It is relatively easy to load and shoot a rifle that's in good nick.

I could sniff BP all day, reminds me of Guy Fawkes

A bud once caught me yoinking a long string connected to an old 303 (he had sold me) mounted in sandbags, he complained that I could trust the gun and I told him I couldn't trust the load I was putting through it hehe
