Want to say thanks for the assistance I received here. I ordered a Deerstalker 50 cal flintlock today. Was quoted $335, which seems to be a good price. Will post numerous other questions when it arrives

Just got my lyman deerstalker 2 weeks ago.....Love that thing.....4 buddies I hunt with all use the deerstalker and none have had a misfire in 3 years......I couldn't get my old one to go off for three years. Hence the deerstalker

 

[scott and stalk]

welcome to the deerstalker family...expect great shooting from that gun

Just bought a Deerstalker a month ago myself. You are going to love it. After shooting different loads my gun shot 80 grains of Goex and a 240 grain PA Conical the best out of it. Just a suggestion in case you were thinking of different loads to try out!

I love the PA Conical. Did you use 2F or 3F ?

I was shooting 2f. Can't wait to see how they perform on deer. I am taking a week and a half off from work for the late season and heading north to Potter County. Hopefully I can connect with one.

Traditions makes a DeerStalker and Lyman makes a DeerSlayer.
Seems to be confuseing to some here.Anyways I paid 350 for a new Lyman.
My bad;Traditions-Deerslayer,Lyman Deerstalker....see how confuseing it is ?

 

[brewyak]

that's kinda funny, my Lyman says "Deerstalker" on it not "Deer slayer"

 

[ratgunner]

HAHA SO does mine,I guess I got them switched

 

[ratgunner]

Okay the Lyman is Deerstalker and Traditions is Deerslayer ?

 

[SpiritNugent]

Okay the Lyman is Deerstalker and Traditions is Deerslayer ?

I am getting ready to start shooting my new deerstalker again. I bought it early summer and could not get a group. I am thinking I may have to try shooting conicals.

I really hope my shooting improves, but I still think my trigger pull is way too stiff.
