Nice video dave! the red tail hawk you saw reminds me of when i was in stone mountain GA there was a red tail being chased by a swarm of blue jays, he came down right beside my grandfather and i on a fence post about 6 feet from us. He stood proud and we got to take pictures of him. Thanks again for the great video.
I was not aware that there even was such a thing as a Muzzleloading adapter for shotguns till I started watching your vids. No matter how much ya know, there's always something left to learn. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful hawk. I have some friends that are into falconry, and one of the questions they get all the time is "How do you make it come back to you?" The answer is that they don't "make" them - it's a working partnership that the bird willingly is a part of, because he is going to get fed better than he could feed himself (they get fed weather they catch anything or not).
Another great video. H&R 12GA is on the to buy list. I grew up hunting with the single shot shotgun and am going to get back into it. Got to do a little hunting in SW Ohio this year when I was on leave, looking forward to doing it again next year
Another great vid in the 21st century longhunter, The only single shot 12 ga. I have is my great grandfathers, I have pumps and autos but I think I'll have to go to fin feather fur to get a new single shot. The whole 21 st. century longhunter series is great keep going Dave its what I've been lookin for.
Hey Dave love the vids! I dont want t make any negative feedback but being a reloader myself just wanted to pass some tribal knowledge of caution you may not know. Be careful keeping your primers in a tin or glass jar. As the primer shake around the compund inside will make its way out. As the tin or glass bottle gets coated in this compound it could be fairly easy to bounce around and cause a spark/ignition that could consequently ignite all the primers. Makes a really nice POP!
I like your comment on gun vs bow for meat procurement. Having just got back from a 3 day traditional archery hunt where I brought no meat for camp meals. If I did not shoot anything it was a meatless meal. Had I brought a shotgun or 22 I would have come home suffering from gout. Instead I was a vegetarian the whole trip. It sucks to stalk in crunchy snow!
in addition to the 209 adapter they should also make an adapter for a # 10 or #11 percussion cap it's to the point where it's hard to find 209 primers. have you checked with ODNR to see if you can use this system for muzzle loading season in ohio, or just the regular gun season? thanks.
Really digging the shotgun as a multifunction firearm. Always thought of my single shot as a crappy cheap gun, but no longer. I'm interested in pickin up a Short Lane 209 black powder adapter, but they say not to use it for anything but shot. Any thoughts on firing round ball using that adapter?
Well well well I am now thinking of dumping the over & under the side by side & the semi then buying a nice 12G single barrel. Thanks again Sir you do inspire! Take care K-dog...
Dave, I have a few questions please: Will #4 work on coyote? How accurate can one be with pumpkin ball rounds? And, I like the idea of having a follow up shot, or having one bore with shot, and having another bore with a deer load. Would you allow a double barrel for that class?
Dave, great video. Makes me look at my dad's old Remington Model 11 a little differently. An off topic request: I know that you believe in and use wool for a lot of things. Could you speak to its care and warm weather storage, if you haven't covered that previously. If you have, please point me to it. Thanks.
Dave, First let me say, I am a huge fan/subscriber, I've viewed all vd's and even the ones I didn't really had an interested, I have always learned. So as Six Sigma B-Belt a couple suggestions. 1.1. mount ramrod, and put removable pointed end on. Quicker reloads. 2. have a few quick reloads made up, you can by Brass, plastic or make your own, paper shell with paper, wax or not. 3.You can find powderhorn with a pre-measure built in, saves time. 4. put even a simple sight on gun. 5. say cost involved? 25LBs shot 50+$ a lbs Pyrodex 25$, 100 209 caps 7-8$. Maybe a vid to show these option? KUDOS to guy who shot Coyote, easier to call in, best reward, for risk/time, with front moving in, and how much land you have. Thanks for vids, from a retired military guy with 'issues they have been a God send! when will you get canteen lids I am dying for a couple?
Hey Dave, great vid. Since you are using 209 adapter, have you looked into Blackhorn 209 powder? It doesn't foul barrels and is so clean! It has all the benefits of gun powder, but is a black substitute. It's all I use in my front stuffer!
Hey Dave, love your videos hope to see more! Bit I was wondering, what would you do if you were to run out of powder in a survival situation? Do you know of any way to make powder in case of a survival situation , or would you have to fall back on your trapping skills and hope for the best??
That's pretty cool how the hawk gets the scraps left from your trapping. I kinda have a pet owl in the woods where I live. I leave him pieces of fish I catch from the pond.I have pictures but I see him at 630-7am when its still kind of dark so they don't come out good.
Dave love your videos and everything I've gotten from your store I had a hard time finding a nice American made single shot shot gun so I got a new r.i.a from turkey. Two days later I found a n.e.f modified choke. I got the 209 muzzle loading plug. I think it is awesome. But I would like to get the 22 adapter for one my shot guns do you know were I could find one short lane is always out of stock Dave can tell if can put a rare sight on my n.e.f. thanks for all your help. Your best
Dave, I wonder if you can tell us about the licensing requirements for your classes, would an "out of state" person that would take your Scout class have to get a hunting license, deer license, trapping license, and other stamps or licenses? Or if this is considered a educational class would those be waived?
1 what caliber ball mold are you using to make your buckshot 2 do you prefer the blackpowder adapter over reloading the full brass shells, it seems it would be easier to change loads or to get a quick followup shot with the shells.
Dave I understand you only want single shots for your class but this could very well be done with a double barrel (either side by side or over under) break barrel shotgun as well correct? You’d simply need two adapters for each barrel correct
Ever thought about making your setup more versatile by using a double barrel, with double hammers and triggers? That would give you the ultimate scout setup. Big game load on one side small game on the other. No need to worry about he right load. This would be raising the bar a bit though, if price is the point you were making for a common man setup then a side by side wouldn't make the cut. Just a suggestion.
Hi Dave, I was wondering what type of traps are usually used at the advanced scout class. Have you had any students use snares or fig 4 deadfalls with success? (I know you don't really like thoes types, that's why I'm asking)
At the end of the day, if you hadn't shot, do you empty the gun by firing it? I was always told to fire of the powder because it may have accumulated oils or moisture during the day, making it difficult to fire tomorrow. Wouldn't your black powder shotgun shells be a better, less wasteful method?
Thanks Dave, I'm guessing its cheaper to build a shotgun round like that than buying conventional rounds too? what would you say is the accuracy over what range with that set up? and are shotgun barrels smooth bore or groved? im thinking if this impacts any grove/rifling for a round fired through the adapters?
Great job I have a question I have a modified choke 12ga can you tell me how to check my gun to determine what size round ball to shoot in itand whe can I by the mold thanks for sharing
I like the setup but I prefer the shotgun in 20 gauge and am wondering if the insert also comes in that size or is it only in 12 gauge also I am trying to find sheep's wool but can't seem to get it along with the molds and when you use round balls in that gauge do you have to wrap them like a patch or it with a powder patch ball and over shot patch like using shot
I like this for a long term setup but wouldn’t pre-measured paper or cardboard cartridges be better for immediate use? I am thinking like civil war muzzle loader cartridge box like setup.
Idk Dave but I may just be asking you a even crazier stunt then you ever did on dual survival. What is it? Making bullets from Quick Steel Epoxy unit. To shoot through a muzzle loader in case shtf or even last resort gun repairs equipment repares. Waiting to hear back from you. -DAVIDE
Dave, great vid for all again. Got an issue I need help with. Muzzleloading the 12 ga. w/shot no problem. I have a .69 ball mold, I patched to fit snug w/imp. cyl. went well 'til it got to the top of the 3" chamber, the patched ball dropped to the bottom to the powder, not snug at all. I did not fire this load, was concerned and unloaded. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Dave, I live in NC. I am always stressing to people to use a 12 gauge shotgun and carry different loads. They use 300 win mags, 270s, 7mms to shoot no more than a 50 yard shot. The slugs are so darn expensive though
Hey Dave quick question I was looking at one of the adapters and it says to load it 75-80 grains max but your measure is for 100 grains does that mean its safe to go with 100 grains of powder?
Not really, especially if you're outdoors. I melt up to 10lbs at a time to cast my own projectiles. No big deal. Just make sure you do it in a well ventilated area and you are handling it safely (heavy gloves). The biggest danger is spilling molten lead on yourself. Basically, you'd have to eat/suck on the lead to get poisoned.
Don't inhale vapours from the melt, nor spill the melt on your body, your sandwiches, or gargle with it. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling any amount of lead with a stiff bristled brush. You have to be particularly careful with lead oxide, which appears as a white fuzz on exposed lead. Very dangerous stuff and has during ancient times been used to subsidize for an artificial sweetener!
DAVE I'm a big fan of your brother. Where can I buy the adapters at you shot in this video? I'm going to buy this kit asap. Thanks again brother. Before I go though I miss you and Cody on dual survival modern and traditional had never been so go at comparison. My father taught me traditional fighting and native tracking I'm lost on this newer stuff out there. This kit is cheap and effective. Those flint lock kits are to expensive for me to buy. Please help me out brother thanks again. Great Spirit guide you light on your path-Great White Wolf
What about a 20 guage? When you talk about black powder loads does the caliber of the weapon matter anymore? If you take into account for a slug and get the right mold for that wouldn't it be just as good as the 12 guage? When it comes to black powder what advantages does the 12 guage have that a 20 or a 410 doesn't?
I like your idea. But I’m not a fan of the shotgun as a hunter’s tool. But I would love a 12 gauge coachman double barrel. Because they remind me of my grandfather he had one and it put me in the mud as a 7 year old. I did learn one thing don’t shoot both barrels at the same time. And my father was the Blackpowder hunter. I love everything about them. And a smooth boar shot barrel I would love. And my brother he is a wheel gun guy.
Dave I know this is a old video and since I've watched it I've been wanting to do this and I just talked to my DEC officer and I'm good to go but I was wondering how much powder do you actually use I know you said the brass was 100 grains but do you fill it once twice?
Any talk about a 20 gauge 209 adapter? Don't own a single shot 12 so looked for a 20g adapter and didn't find one. Really wanting to check this out on some bushy tails
For added versatility, why not carry a double, the only added weight is just the barrel but you could load 1 barrel with no.6 shot and another with a slug. FAR more versatility then 1 barrel only, plus if you either miss or there is an extra oppertunity for more game you dont need to reload after just 1 shot. The only downside is a small amount of weight for the barrel for much added ability.
I guess the next question is: why not schedule the class during shotgun deer season? Its only a couple weeks later, black powder can still be a stipulation, and it would open up the self reliance portion of the class. Attending the advanced scout class and passing up on killing a deer simply because it's out of season seems rather silly when the main deliverable for success is acquiring meat.

We have lots of red tails here in OK. My favorite bird growing up. Appreciated that clip of your hawk buddy.
Really like your shows, they have lots of information and I like the fact that you use black powder.
I agree with the shotgun mentality. One of the most versatile weapons ever made.
I was not aware that there even was such a thing as a Muzzleloading adapter for shotguns till I started watching your vids. No matter how much ya know, there's always something left to learn. Thank you for sharing.

I shoot a .50 cal hawken percussion cap. You do not need real black powder for a caplock firearm, I use pyrodex RS and it works just fine
Hawks and other raptors are so cool.
Another great vid in the 21st century longhunter, The only single shot 12 ga. I have is my great grandfathers, I have pumps and autos but I think I'll have to go to fin feather fur to get a new single shot. The whole 21 st. century longhunter series is great keep going Dave its what I've been lookin for.
Outstanding presentation, first (not last) that I have seen from you, thanks.
Thanks, Dave. Glad I watched this. I was thinking about trying the black powder shells with my H&R 16, but it has a full choke.
Hey Dave love the vids! I dont want t make any negative feedback but being a reloader myself just wanted to pass some tribal knowledge of caution you may not know.

Wow.. that hawk is gorgeous!
Thanks for the video.. great looking set-up
I agree 100%. So many options with the single shot 12g. Just can't go wrong w/ it. Thanks again Dave.

Hi DAVE, Very interesting video. I love a single 12 gauge also. GOD BLESS you and your FAMILY. Merry Christmas
That would be a cool project. Re-create a ramrod, just like the antique wooden one you showed, with a little carving and some blacksmithing.
Great info for the basic kit for a great gun. You're do'in a great job Brother! Best to you and yours.
Love the shotgun you are the reason I have a Winchester 370 single shot.
That's a great video I wanted to go hunting couldn't decide on black powder or not
Hey Dave that Red Tail was awesome my grandpa has one on his farm and you can get close enough reach out and touch him
Dave, I wonder if you can tell us about the licensing requirements for your classes, would an "out of state" person that would take your Scout class have to get a hunting license, deer license, trapping license, and other stamps or licenses? Or if this is considered a educational class would those be waived?
1 what caliber ball mold are you using to make your buckshot 2 do you prefer the blackpowder adapter over reloading the full brass shells, it seems it would be easier to change loads or to get a quick followup shot with the shells.
Dave! You should get a falconry license. Oh man! I could totally picture you hunting with a red tail hawk.
You can also make your own black powder. Takes a little practice, but better than trying to make a bow.
Great video Dave! Is it legal in OH to use that set-up during muzzle- loader season for deer?
According to my DNR officer, YES, as long as you are not carrying shells
*****
And legally loaded when primed. Former DNR officer.
***** thank you Dave, your wealth of information is appreciated very much.
Dave! You have educated my son and I.
great vid. dave. can you use alpaca wool instead of sheep wool to pack down powder and shot?
Good video - thanks for making them. Love watching your videos.
Dave I understand you only want single shots for your class but this could very well be done with a double barrel (either side by side or over under) break barrel shotgun as well correct? You’d simply need two adapters for each barrel correct

Hey Dave when you were putting stuff for short term on the heaver sack you forgot the adapter
loved it. Q&A could you do the same thing with the M6 scout if the 410 was no choke?
Thanks Dave, I'm guessing its cheaper to build a shotgun round like that than buying conventional rounds too? what would you say is the accuracy over what range with that set up? and are shotgun barrels smooth bore or groved? im thinking if this impacts any grove/rifling for a round fired through the adapters?
If you would use 100 grains in a 12 guage what would you recommend for a 20 guage, thanks Mike
Great job I have a question I have a modified choke 12ga can you tell me how to check my gun to determine what size round ball to shoot in itand whe can I by the mold thanks for sharing
Do you have the adapters for a 20 gauge? Sorry if I didn't catch it in another video
Thanks for another great video, I always learn something from them.
What do you do when the powder runs out in a long term wilderness scenario?
what diameter ball are you molding, and would you use a patch on it? and what charge weight of powder? thanks, another great video!
I like the setup but I prefer the shotgun in 20 gauge and am wondering if the insert also comes in that size or is it only in 12 gauge also I am trying to find sheep's wool but can't seem to get it along with the molds and when you use round balls in that gauge do you have to wrap them like a patch or it with a powder patch ball and over shot patch like using shot

Awesome video, very interesting and informative.
Have you done any videos on that basket pack we saw in your early this traping season?
Idk Dave but I may just be asking you a even crazier stunt then you ever did on dual survival. What is it? Making bullets from Quick Steel Epoxy unit. To shoot through a muzzle loader in case shtf or even last resort gun repairs equipment repares. Waiting to hear back from you. -DAVIDE

I did not fire this load, was concerned and unloaded. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
More wadding will keep it above the forcing cone-
I thought about that, that would be a lot of wadding, almost 2", how tightly packed? Is that much needed for a .71 ball?
Dave, I live in NC. I am always stressing to people to use a 12 gauge shotgun and carry different loads. They use 300 win mags, 270s, 7mms to shoot no more than a 50 yard shot. The slugs are so darn expensive though
Hey Dave quick question I was looking at one of the adapters and it says to load it 75-80 grains max but your measure is for 100 grains does that mean its safe to go with 100 grains of powder?
Is there any reason to worry about lead poisoning when you are melting/casing lead balls?
Not really, especially if you're outdoors. I melt up to 10lbs at a time to cast my own projectiles. No big deal. Just make sure you do it in a well ventilated area and you are handling it safely (heavy gloves). The biggest danger is spilling molten lead on yourself. Basically, you'd have to eat/suck on the lead to get poisoned.
Don't inhale vapours from the melt, nor spill the melt on your body, your sandwiches, or gargle with it.
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling any amount of lead with a stiff bristled brush.
You have to be particularly careful with lead oxide, which appears as a white fuzz on exposed lead. Very dangerous stuff and has during ancient times been used to subsidize for an artificial sweetener!
Can you find these adapters for a 410 shotgun
Still waiting on that 20 Gauge adapter...
Good video as always.
Call Short Lane Arms you can get one direct from them
DAVE I'm a big fan of your brother. Where can I buy the adapters at you shot in this video? I'm going to buy this kit asap. Thanks again brother. Before I go though I miss you and Cody on dual survival modern and traditional had never been so go at comparison. My father taught me traditional fighting and native tracking I'm lost on this newer stuff out there. This kit is cheap and effective. Those flint lock kits are to expensive for me to buy. Please help me out brother thanks again. Great Spirit guide you light on your path-Great White Wolf
Get into falconry please. Would love to see those vids
What about a 20 guage? When you talk about black powder loads does the caliber of the weapon matter anymore? If you take into account for a slug and get the right mold for that wouldn't it be just as good as the 12 guage? When it comes to black powder what advantages does the 12 guage have that a 20 or a 410 doesn't?
Man your vids help me a lot
Love your video
Dave, would you allow a Rossi Circuit Judge and what are your thoughts on them?
Can the adaptors be shipped to canada?
Where might i find those single cavity lead shot molds and that lead ladle with the hole for a makesift handle
Good vid
I like your idea. But I’m not a fan of the shotgun as a hunter’s tool. But I would love a 12 gauge coachman double barrel. Because they remind me of my grandfather he had one and it put me in the mud as a 7 year old. I did learn one thing don’t shoot both barrels at the same time. And my father was the Blackpowder hunter. I love everything about them. And a smooth boar shot barrel I would love. And my brother he is a wheel gun guy.
That depends on the bow the arrow & the broadhead
Dave, what caliber roundball would you use in the 12 gauge? And in your opinion, would sheep wool function as a decent patch for roundball?
are you patching the round ball or just packing it in with the wadding? What diameter is the bag mold?
Where are those adaptors on your pathfinder web page for sale?
bet w/ 209 adapter you could fire any powder, making it even more versatile!
Do you have a video firing round ball out of that shot gun?
Dave I know this is a old video and since I've watched it I've been wanting to do this and I just talked to my DEC officer and I'm good to go but I was wondering how much powder do you actually use I know you said the brass was 100 grains but do you fill it once twice?
ever thought about falconry? i could see you on horse back with the falcon on your hand, talk about a badass hunting trio
Hey Dave what is the dimeter of the 12 gauge round ball that you are using?
Good vid good explanation on the whys.
Dave, do you still offer these products?
Any talk about a 20 gauge 209 adapter? Don't own a single shot 12 so looked for a 20g adapter and didn't find one. Really wanting to check this out on some bushy tails
How would you use a round balls in the barrel of a 12 gage shot gun.and how accurate
For added versatility, why not carry a double, the only added weight is just the barrel but you could load 1 barrel with no.6 shot and another with a slug. FAR more versatility then 1 barrel only, plus if you either miss or there is an extra oppertunity for more game you dont need to reload after just 1 shot. The only downside is a small amount of weight for the barrel for much added ability.
what would you use for a 20 gauge. What type of primers, powder, and why type of powder. thank-you john
awesome video
I guess the next question is: why not schedule the class during shotgun deer season? Its only a couple weeks later, black powder can still be a stipulation, and it would open up the self reliance portion of the class. Attending the advanced scout class and passing up on killing a deer simply because it's out of season seems rather silly when the main deliverable for success is acquiring meat.
I you're loading the weapon with shot instead of a slug why do you need modified choke?
what's your thoughts on a double barrel 12ga instead?
Nice video. Let's see you load it.
I've heard black powder is very corrosive, is that true? And if so, does that mean you have to clean your black powder guns a lot?
100 grains of powder and bb's for 12 gauge. What would be the load for a 410 gauge?
Thank you
