fasteddie Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Still had the powder and bullet in my NEF 50 cal In-Line from last year so I stopped over to our Rod & Gun Club to shoot it . Right on target . Came home , cleaned the barrel and breech plug and reloaded it for tomorrow afternoon's outing . I could have removed the breech plug and pushed the load out with the ram-rod but that is messy and a pain to clean up . Anyway , the ML is ready for some action . All I need is for some deer to cooperate ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbuff Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's a shame they stopped making the NEF huntsman,side kick and heritage line of muzzloaders . Those green mountain barrels are tack drivers with just about anything you shove down the barrel. I have a SS Heritage with a upgraded Hubbard's ram rod and metrics unlimited breech plug which allows one to shoot BH209 reliably. I don't leave a charge in it past the season for fear of corrosion if using black powder. Which NEF are you shooting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have to 50 cal NEF Huntsman . It uses the orange primer holders that I find useful as I have arthritis in my fingers . I made an adapter to use with the ramrod so I don't have to mess with the one that comes with the ML . Bought the NEF at the Avon Gun Shop years ago for $135 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I always try to shoot an old load out. As long as there is no concern for a possible double load. Never had one not fire before the couple times ive accidentally left it loaded after season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I don't like leaving the load in more than a couple weeks. Powder isn't good for the bore. Besides that. I kinda get a bang out of shooting the muzzleloader , LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
