Ontario Hawken,

Welcome to the Forum; I see this is your first post.

I have been shooting Hawken flinters and caplocks for a long time. Yesterday I casted up a bucket full of roundball and maxis for my Winter shooting.

Again, welcome to this site.

Adam

Hi Adam,

I got into BP for three reasons:

1) a week-long blackpowder season in December in Ontario (there are too many idiots, trespassers, etc. during regular rifle season - and I'm tired of it)
2) I've been spot-an-stalk hunting snowshoe hares for the past 9 years with a scoped .22 and I need more of a challenge.
3) I like to tinker and BP is a great way to customize the shot to the hunt, and with that I have a question; is it that hard to cast bullets? How long do they have to stay in the mould before you can make another?

Scott
