Anybody know about Mowrey Muzzle loaders? I bought a Bicentennial Special Model 606 50 caliber (made in 1976) at a garage sale years ago. It was made in Olney, TX, but the factory closed long ago. I need to get it repaired, so if anyone knows a gunsmith in the Dallas/Ft Worth area that works on muzzle loaders, I'd appreciate a tip.
I've never owned a muzzle loader before. How do I find out what loads to use? The gun came with a few round lead balls, but I notice in the stores, most ammo is the saboted bullets. I assume that's an improved design. Will those work in my gun?
Any tips you can share on learning to use the gun would be appreciated. Thanks, Fred
