Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Using the H&R 12GA for a Muzzeloader

I thought this was interesting. I hope it's not a repeat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES59LtA7XE8 It's about 25 minutes Very interesting for someone that wants to experiment but don't have all the guns necessary.

Lots of stuff will work in a pinch. I ain't that pinched just yet.

That, and the manufactured adapter on other videos wouldn't be legal for deer as MLs here as the regs specifically ban the use of guns converted with "plugs".

Another option for serious use would be to hunt down one of the old Lee tools and reload regular shells with BP. Ross Seyfried did an article for the Hodgdon annual that extolled the virtues of BP shotgunning: great performance at low pressure. He hunts a lot with those.

The only reason I can see to do that is if it all went to hell, you could make your own black powder. I don't know how you could make primers or percussion caps though.

Which is why there are flintlocks....

Actually, .22s are the ultimate SHTF tool, truth be told.

I agree, interesting.
