Allow me to introduce myself

Hi, I'm Jim, from Lawrence. I've been interested in muzzle loading since the early 1980s when I purchased a Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Mountain Rifle.. Since then I have been a fan of the flint lock system. In fact, all my muzzle loaders are flint locks.

In 1985 I joined the First Santa Fe Trail Plainsmen Muzzle Loading Rifle Club, which has recently relocated to Admire, KS.

I look forward to corresponding to other Kansas black powder enthusiasts.

Welcome!! I'm thinking of a Pedersoli Rolling Block. Can't make up my mind if I want the 45-70 or the 30-30.

That's a tough choice. I like and have both calibers.
The .30-30 would be cheaper and easier on the shoulder to shoot and would still be a good rifle for hunting up to 200 yards or so.

That would be a tough choice. Historically, the 45-70 was a popular buffalo hunting round.

@gerhard1 get that 45-70, you'll be set for that next buffalo hunt!

Seriously, I think these days the .30 caliber is more practical.

That is great....I am also bigtime rock scratcher....Been doing it for decades.
Loved it so much, I sold all my centerfires. I just enjoy the smell of 4th of July
every time I go shooting.

I am located in Wichita ks.
