Yes sir. I've built a couple of replica muzzle loaders. My current favorite is a .45 caliber Vincent. FF not quite as fine as FFF and burns a little slower than FFF. 50 yards or less and I load with FF. Anything further and I load FFF in my rifles.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Couple of buddies up here are hunters. One of the weeks is strictly muzzle loaders.

Felons are not to allowed to have firearms or hunt with one, but they can use a muzzle loader down here to hunt with.  Not sure where that came from lol

Wood is tiger stripe maple. Finished with linseed oil applied by my bare finger. You can't imagine how many coats of linseed oil are on the stock. I apply another coat about once a year to keep it looking good.  You can get the stocks in several different grades. I don't skimp on the stock. This one is the highest grade that's available. I have a trunk of a mesquite tree that's been sitting in the barn for 3-4 years. Want to make my own stock someday.


Folks are a bit bigger than they used to be. That butt takes a bit to get used to the placement. It doesn't sit where people hold a rifle these days.
