‘Real black powder rifles

[White Falcon]

Very Nice bucks.

[Buff]

I believe they would both have rifling, I don’t see where he says they don’t. I also believe those are October country rifles.

good eye

The 69 is an October Country sporting rifle. It has a 1 in 120" twist and shoots a patched round ball with 225 grains of FF goex black powder.

The 54 is an October country Liver eating Johnson. It has a 1 in 72 twist and shoots a patched round ball with 120 grains of FF black powder.

Much like DryCreek said, accuracy is limited to my eye sight these days but I can still stack them into one hole at 50. 40 years ago I could do it at 100 but my vision is just not sharp enough any more.

Nothing smells better than real a cloud of black powder drifting back in your face on an ice cold morning.

Better picture of .54 from a few (20) years ago

Man I miss shooting black powder. Dad and I use shot competitively with muzzleloaders. We also hunted a bit but I have never killed a deer with one. I may just have to get back into it and kill one next year.
Congrats on two fine bucks.

Very cool. Congrats

This is awesome, congrats! I had a friend kill a doe this weekend with his grandpa's open sight 30-30, which I thought was cool. This takes the cake.

Looking to build another one, is there any one on here that builds them ?

I'm with you bro! I have a semi-custom Ted Hatfield replica of a late Samuel Hawken plains rifle in .54 caliber 70 twist. Have taken several deer with it. Its a hoot to shoot and I only use black powder FFg.

Congratulations!!!

Each of those bucks are phenomenal on their own. To take both with a muzzleloader in the same weekend is amazing!

[MUZZYSLINGR]

Congratulations Buff. A couple real nice bucks down with a couple real nice rifles. I really like the looks and feel of the traditional style muzzleloader. I suppose I’m going to have to build me one one of these days.

Soon as I get done with all the other stuff I don’t seem to get done. Lol!

Congratulations to you again.

Nice to see some others actually hunt with a real muzzleloader these days!
