You may be right. The first powder I bought in 69 was Dupont and sometime in the early 70's I switched to Hogdon which was made in Scotland.

In the late 60s and early 70s I used some DuPont and some Gehart Owen,(I think that's how it was spelled) but I also made my own when the supply's dried up.

BP vs Deer
I have a hunting buddy who routinely takes hogs with a BP revolver.
As others have said, you must be capable of putting that ball where it will kill humanely. If not, forget the BP revolver.

"you must be capable of putting that ball where it will kill humanely.

OMG!!
Isn't shot placement important with any type of hunting?! I have set up many Walkers/Dragoons that are specifically used for hunting. This thread reads like a slingshot would almost be better! Next suggestion will be a "proof of proficiency" test . . . . . ! Mike www.goonsgunworks.com Follow me on Instagram @ goonsgunworks |
