Lyman .50 cal Deerstalker
« on: January 10, 2008, 08:38:07 AM »
Hello everyone
I haven't been on this site in quite some time.

Someone here ask me a question about what nipples I use on my Lyman Deerstalker, but I can no longer find that post.  So if they're still around here is my setup.

I have and use a Lyman .50 Deerstalker for the pass 7 years.  The original nipples stink. They would cause misfires after only 2 or 3 shots.  I found better ones made by MSM that after 15/16 shots they would start to cause misfires.  The original sight were ok, but I found Fiber Optic ones made by RMC Sports that are better.

My loads are 70 gns of real Black Powder, T/C 350 Maxi Hunters (made at home in a similar T/C mold), and No. 11 CCI Mag Caps.

I hope this helps and sorry for taking so long to reply.
I love the smell of Black Powder in the Fall
