Blackpowder Rifle SEARS MFG

<< < (2/2)

Wildgoose:
2f black at 20 to 30 grains by volume along with a lubbed patch and round ball will work just fine in an older .45 like that one. I would add a word of caution though. It would be best to have someone framiliar with precussion muzzle loaders to take a look at it for you. Just to be sure its in good enough condition to handle being fired. Rust and heavy pitting in the nipple, drum and breech plug area may be present. As I dont know how knowledgable you are with these guns its possible you might miss something that may need to be fixed or replaced. Hard to say what may have been done to the old girl over the years.

A-FIXER:
Great advice Wildgoose, I will have to do just that I have zero experience in blackpowder and ok on f2 powder. I will have to get with someone familiar with this type of firearm when I do I will post pic's and post results of my smokey experience...
