Back 20 years ago when I went hunting with a muzzleloader you had to pour the powder down the barrel, then stuff the primer, then jab a ball down the barrel. If you were lucky the cap would ignite the powder pretty soon after you pulled the trigger. I just got a new ******* muzzleloader. I found out we can use a .35 Whelen and call it a primitive weapon. As bad a shot as I am it is pretty easy to group 3 consecutive shots in a 2" circle at 100 yards. I love my new primitive weapon!

....been wondering about these. Seems like cheating, but I ain't above that when it comes to eating.

I do remember helping a friend build a muzzleloader back in the early 80's.

:lol4:
That's the doggone truth. I remember it like lighting a fuse. A few fizzes and crackles later, something would go boom.
