Thread: Any Blackpowder Shooters out there?

I am a black powder shooter, I have 2 handmade flintlocks that I shoot and have gone hunting with and taken a deer with one of them. Cabela's has a .36 cal. revolver they call the "Yank", all steel. I already have one and just bought another. It is on sale for $199.00 normally $249.00. It is kinda cold this morning down here but I have my melting pot out and will made some round balls for them a bit later when it warms up a bit this afternoon. I have no delay in when I am shooting the rifles, I have a .40 cal. and a .50 cal. rifle. They are sure fun to shoot at the range and I get questions all the time about them. I have the outfit to go along with them also. Anybody else out there that shoots blackpowder?.

Yes Yes Yes,,, Love My Black Powders,,, Still Love To Use Reall Powder Instead Of The Pellets,, Caps Are Fun When Its Not Rainin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey If Memory Serves Me Right I Believe I Hunted Squirrels With A 36 Cal Back In My Youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ty

Yep, I use real blackpowder also. I also use hand made round ball instead of conical.

I would not consider myself to be a "Shooter" but yes I own three

.50 CVA Pennsylvania Long Flintlock
.50 CVA Hawken percussion
.44 Navy percussion Revolver

I don't shoot them often enough to be any good with them, but I can hit with them..

I mostly use Pyrodex powder, and round balls

I have a CVA Hawken .50 Caliber caplock. It is fun and I use Goex real black.

I have two:

.58 Caliber Model 1861 Enfield reproduction
.44 Caliber Griswold and Gunnison revolver reproduction

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ty

Love it! .50 cal pistol, .45 revolver and a NAA .22 revolver

Well, if you insist, here are the pics of my 50 cal. TC Renegade, CVA 50 cal. Kentucky pistol with possibles bag and powder horn.............

The .50 cal Thompson Center Renegade percussion rifle was a kit I bought and built 25 years ago. The .50 cal CVA Kentucky pistol was a gift from an uncle.
