| Shank:
I've been messing around for some time now and the best load I've got so far is 100 grains of triples seven in double f , behind a 410gr hornady great plains bullet, being capped off by a musket cap. I'm using a Winchester x150 (cva) rifle. I've not yet had the chance at taking an elk with the smoke pole, but have gotten a few deer. I've used pyrodex in the past, which worked great, then switched to triple seven about 2 years ago and love it. As far as weather goes I've hunted lots of different places in this state in all forms of weather, and my rifle(s) have always gone off regardless of powder. Good luck on the tag |

I stick with the old Goex FFg and I converted my Knight to musket caps also. Works for me. |

I just put a piece of electrical tape over the end of the barrel. Never had it not go off. |

I was out this past weekend and would be hard to convince it would have done the job (staying on in the rain). |

Balloon over muzzle, 88 tape over the cap, depends on how hard it is raining.... I use 110 grains of pyrodex pellets, with the 310 grain bullet. |
