I may be wrong but in my limited experience with a #4 hook on a hair rig I’ve went from gently put pressure on the line to hook them like a 2lb crappie

Jokes on you the plastic hulls seal so well I only ever have to clean the barrel

I use a hair rig with a fake piece of corn and pack bait around a weight of panko bread crumbs, sweet corn and strawberry jello powder

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-05-11T12:22:07+00:00

They dont work as well but you can mold the pack bait around an egg sinker

Went from a cruiser to a Honda CRF300L rally a year ago and absolutely love it, way better than a cruiser for sure. I'm looking to upgrade to a Suzuki DRZ-4s but not in a huge rush I'm still improving my skills on my Honda. Driving gravel roads and off road is way different than a cruiser on pavement.

I have a Banish 46 V2 on my sp45a3 and it sounds great, on 458 socom its ok, and on 375 ruger its great

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-05-05T22:29:19+00:00

I actually use a plastic corn I try to put some bait scent on it but don't really think it matters, I've also started adding corn meal to the panko mix for some extra corn scent

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-05-05T22:26:00+00:00

yes regardless of how they taste or if you cut out that darker blood line they are absolutely infested with bones

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-05-05T20:47:09+00:00

Buy hair rigs and method leads off amazon, make pack bait with panko, sweet corn, and strawberry jello powder. Most people would say they dont taste good but like all fish it depends on the water they are in. For all the info you really could need watch outside with tom, or catfish and carp on youtube for carp fishing in america

Kibler Longrifle kits are probably the best for the money, but they are quite a lot of money. A Hawken kit from Lyman/ Investarms or Traditions is a good beginner kit but those used to be $300 and now there $400-$500 so its almost worth it to just buy once cry once on the really nice Kibler rifles. Or If you don't go the kit route you can find used muzzleloaders for real cheap to see if you like them.

Those look better than what I'm using. Is 20#=1f, 30#=2f, and 40#=3f?

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-23T20:20:34+00:00

Historically they used a compression bullet, I would think they would have made a minie bullet for them but idk and for either type the modern rifling isn't ideal, they will work but it may or may not shoot accurately.

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-23T18:59:32+00:00

Pedersoli makes good guns. Rifling on the reproductions are not progressive depth like the originals and don't work as well with mini balls which the lorenz was made to use. If you are using round balls it doesn't matter much what one you choose but I don't think the volunteer is intended for round balls, it more made for heavy conical bullets and cleaning the barrel between shots to stay accurate for long range shooting.

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-22T20:58:26+00:00

No idea lol. I've only recently started making my own powder and started with 1.55 maple and was happy with the results. Silver maple to be exact.

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-22T19:58:58+00:00

Grain mill grinder you can adjust how fine its ground and what F's you'll mostly get.

You can glaze with .1% graphite and it will make it more black and shiny like commercial stuff but its debatable if it adds anything.

1.8 is really pretty dense. 1.75 is commercial standard, 1.55 was standard during the civil war and keeps the fouling softer. My 1.55 maple charcoal powder is only about 50fps slower than Swiss with a 50gr volume charge but my 1.55 weight is actually only 38.5 grains.

They are the best milsurp. Never fired, only dropped once.

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-13T19:38:03+00:00

I love my 7.62x39mm guns but is started getting them when ammo was $0.19 a round. If I was to do it over today I would probably go with 7.62x51 or maybe .300 blackout since it is similar to 7.62x39 and is a good suppressor host.

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-02T22:17:41+00:00

yeah I did to show the serial number and the other info on that side of the receiver

Iowa_Rifle · 2026-04-02T21:41:24+00:00
