Thread: black powder rifle

I got a Thompson inline, it is a nice gun and plenty accurate with 93 grains up to 100 yards but it can be a pain to clean. I second Ripnlips suggestion for ease and simplicity...main thing is to find something you will enjoy

I have 2 a Tradition and a CVA Electra, the CVA Electra does not use primers, it's ignited by a nine volt battaery. They are outlawed in some states, but I think they are still legal in Missouri, but I still feel like I'm cheating when I use it. Somebody told me CVA stopped making the Electra so they are on sale.

back to thinking about it again, going to the store after the Rabitt race this morning,,,, might have fresh rabitt for supper.

Got my first buck with a Traditions Buckslayer $149 or $159 can't remember. Easy to clean with a screw out breach plug and uses 209 primers. I go him on a Busch's Wildlife manage hunt. I must admit my first chance the primer did not ignite the powder. Even though I shot it several times a couple of day before.
