Somewhere around here I have caps, like you I just have to find them…Back when I shot my prehistoric front stuffer, I used Triple-7. I also have a can of Pyrodex, so I must have used that too.
You got caps for that thing? Let me know if you need any of that stuff. Might take me a minute to find it.
If I had half your $, I’d buy a modern $400 gun that used 209’s and BH 209. You’ll still have enough money for beer to sight it in.
if not I’ll be calling…
Agreed. Those slower twist barrels won’t like a real long (heavy) bullet.
I shoot 90gr of 2F triple seven out of my 54 cal Lyman GPR percussion gun with good results out to 100 yards. I’m shooting patched round balls. Never had a hang fire. My GPR has the Lyman tang peep sight, it really helps. Killed a moose and two elk with that setup.
What states the Antelope?
Thats the ticket, I'll be getting these for sure...
Ah, a nostalgia thing? If you dress up like cowboy or an Indian, make sure I get a pic.Somewhere around here I have caps, like you I just have to find them…
Trust me, the modern front stuffer will be along for the ride…

Start at 75grains I’d be surprised if you need to go over 85. Conicals are heavy locomotives, Just hit the target at any speed and its done for. Push too hard and they can lose control. If accuracy diminishes, gun sounds less “sharp” and you are cleaning lots of lead particles on your patch, you’ve blown past your exit.
I do have some no excuses 495’ers I could try…
Yes it is, I’m not sure how much I’ll like it with my aging eyes though…
Yes a little, but not nearly enough…Them REMINGTONS Are Great Guns!
But HEAVY!
I Can See You've Removed A Little Weight!
There’s a little more than normal in those two cans… That’s 4 bottles combined into 2… I need some space in the powder cabinet…2 Cans Of Black Gold I See!
But They Are The FULLER Cans!
It makes you cry when you spill a couple of grains…I See They've Got The Sshhitt JACKED To 90.00-100.00 A Can Now & Still Mostly Out Of Stock!
I Don't Spill It As Much As I Used To!

Tikka,
I’m sure you are correct!
Tikka, I’m waiting on a pronghorn picture to show up here. Hope you use the Lyman…….. it’s has that more “Period” look than the TC Renegade.
Just got to know where to buy it.
Nice job with a traditional muzzy. I assume it was in Utah. Since Utah has the muzzy hunt after the rifle hunt, were the bucks very skittish? And did you feel there were still enough big bucks around after the rifle season?
