It ain't the cheese or the brats. Its all the Falstaff beer they drink to warsh that all down smile

Some times while loading too. And that's when the dry balls happen. Hard to load and talk at the same time for some people.

I'm not saying that's the reason why, but I do have a ball puller in my possibles bag. whistle

I don't own a flintlock. Have 3 cap guns. A SxS 12 gauge that is fun to hunt birds with. Dog gets impatient while I load it though. A 50 cal kentucky rifle repro I have taken several deer with. A repro remington from pietta cap and ball revolver I have taken one deer with. Tried several BP replacers. Swiss black powder beats them all for consistency.

Never been to a muzzle loader shoot. Dressing up like the old trappers did never interested me. I just like hunting with the tools my ancestors used.

Keep thinking a small caliber flinter would be a lot of fun. Been hearing good things about Kibbler kits.

I've heard nothing but good to great about those Kibler guns. I have only handled a couple, and they are very nice in the hand. I am not sure how small he goes caliber wise. He does offer a smoothbore too.

Kibler's southern mountain rifle is available down to 32.

southern mountain rifle

I've handled a couple of these, and they are light and slim, almost delicate. I think they'd be a joy to carry in the squirrel woods.
