gunmaker:
Take a break?  That's what my wife asks.  Simple answer is no, not if I have anything to say about it.  I'm retired & this sure beats TV watching.  Ever hear "we have 130 chn'ls & THERE's NOTHING ON."  Because of $$ issues---read family & kids, client went for a straight oct. .50 cal  X 30"  1:28 ROT  for big bullets. but it's an Ed Rayl custom tube.  $140.00 and hand made to boot.  Some Eng. guns were stocked in maple with full stocks, I've a pic of some in one a my ref. books  ....Tom

gunmaker:
More pic's, about it until bbl shows

rollingb:
Nice pics.

gunmaker:

I'm a PRB shooter,  know nothing about these conicals, sabots whatever.  Don't all jump at once, but what's a good hunting load for deer/elk.  100gr a 2f or what's all this synthetic stuff out now ?  Bullets ??? I knoe, I know 100 people have 127 answers but here goes anyway....Tom    (1:28 ROT 30" bbl. 15/16" flats.  Ed Rayl) please no yellin er sheieking or wepons---

rollingb:
To be honest with you Gunmaker,... I've never shot a conical out of a muzzleloader in my life, so I dunno.
Round balls have always worked good on elk, moose, and caribou, for me.  :laffing  :shock:
