Black powder section?

Eagleman, 1851 Navy Revolver ,Hmm nice.
Not the ideal target shooter, more a sticking to the spirit type. They are open framed, meaning there is no top strap above the cylinder to keep them rigid, also try to avoid anything brass framed as they can "stretch" over time and if heavy loaded a lot.

If you do any reloading, thats exactly what you are doing with a m/l, the difference is you do it at the range instead of sat at a press. The press is built on to the firearm. Even if it is just a ramrod on a longarm.

You soon get in the swing of it and have a set pattern to avoid dangerous operations.

The majority on here don't use Black Powder. They use Pyrodex, Triple 7 or some other heathen concoctions

Take your point Hares Ears why don't we change it to 'Muzzle Loading' instead of BP?

nasty smelly horrible things , on the firing line just about to complete that one hole group ..... and you get enveloped by a cloud of choking smoke from 6 points down ( why is it the muzzle loading fanatic always gets the downwind firing point .....)

I think it's a gift!

I try to stand next to noobs having their first go with a rimmy.

A full load, listen to the pattern of their shots and time it to let rip at the second before they fire. Share the experience.

Wahhhaaa, I can join this club. Have a black powder double 10 bore on the hsotgun certificate, has been nitro proofed though so can use it how I like

Would love to play at pistols at some point as well.

Mods - another vote for an (albeit small) section for muzzle loaders.....please.

As for 'real' BP, why use it with the licensing/storage regulations, fouling and corrosion (if you don't clean promptly) when you can avoid all this by using a modern substitute?

To blow the smoke away from our firing point. Then you can marvel at the one hole groups we are shooting with our B.P. Rifles.
