Charlie, I saw an old powder horn several years ago that I might copy some day, down the curve it read in two lines



"Of all the rules you must recall

its powder first - then the ball"

I have two muzzle-loading shotguns, 11 and 16 gauge, both
Belgium made. I've hunted with the 16. All I can say, it's a blast,
No pun intended. There is a place in Minn. Called Track of the
Wolf, great resource for black powder shooters. www.trackofthe
wolf.com. They also make brass Parker repo 10 gauge shell
Cases. Have fun. Jim P

This is my son's Chance and Sons muzzle loader that my father bequeathed to him to be given to him on his 21st birthday.

He always wondered why I never shot it, but I did - a few times.
I then put it away for about 15 years!
The day I gave it to him he shot 9 birds with 11 shots!!

The gun has not been finished yet !

Bill payed him about $6500 already and the builder told the heirs that it'll take another $14,500 to getrdun !

He left all the guns to one son and the estate is in the hole for that gun so we shall see what happens !

Incidently my friend had a fowling piece Al Edge built . I watched him shoot trap and skeet singles with that one !

For a man to shoot a straight round with that thing at trap or skeet singles would be an undertaking unto itself . I dunno if I could stay focused what messing with loading that darn thing

This same fellow got me wound up in Contemporary Flintlock Longrifles a few years back and I wasted enough to buy a decent Parker hammerless 8 gauge
