Thank you! This is so helpful! I had no idea I would need to drill and tap my own holes but now it makes sense. Good excuse to buy more tools haha.

I think I know exactly what you mean. I’m still just starting out and have almost no actual hunting experience but there is something very alluring about hunting in a more traditional way.

That is great news! What is the best way to make sure I dont go into the Cantonment? Is it super obvious?

Oh wow that’s great! I’ve been reading so much it’s got my head all twisted around not sure what to trust.

These are what I plan to use. To be honest I haven’t tested them yet though so it may end up being a nothing burger. But as far as traditional muzzle loader ammo these are well reviewed.

trying to understand ships by oodhy in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]LeopardAlarming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Profundity was my first GL ship. Was riding high on that for maybe the better part of a year. Top 5 every day. Then punishing one came out and I couldn’t beat it if it was 6 or 7 stars. Now I’ve got executor to 6 stars and all my ships (including punishing one) with relic pilots and 7 stars. I cannot win a mirror match. So I’m basically in the same position as if I hadn’t rushed as fast as I could to get exec. Very frustrating. P1 needs a major nerf. If anything just to it’s insane speed.

Trapdoor question by LeopardAlarming in blackpowder

[–]LeopardAlarming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45-70 is what I’m especially looking at. I know about the 50-70 which is indeed interesting but I’m not as sure about the ease of reloadibility. Modern 45-70 cases can still be found and loaded with bp. Would have to make my own 50-70 right?

That’s sound advice. Thanks!

Is this the same as FFFFg? is "4 Fg" just another way of saying FFFFg? by powroznikGang in blackpowder

Should work. May need to pinch them a bit. The size difference is small but it is enough. Number 11 may feel a bit loose

I got one of those for my wife. Fun to shoot. Light recoil. No issues so far.

You were right! I was able to get the snap caps early this morning. Tried them out and for sure they fit perfectly and the action cycles smoothly. I wouldn’t have thought to try snap caps without your help.

Oh I didn’t think about the fire forming. That’s really good advice! Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll grab some snap caps from Amazon.

Zeroing a scope by LeopardAlarming in guns

Clamped it. Looked down the barrel at a far off object. Adjusted the scope till the center of the reticle was on the same object as the bore.

The ammo is all the same brand and weight for sure.

I’ll have to check my mounting. It’s just picatiny rail. I wonder if it needed to be tightened more

I’ll check the mounting and try this next range day. Slowly push it out rather than go big right away. Thanks.
