Lyman Great Plains or trade rifle | The Muzzleloading Forum
Jun 7, 2011 · Investarms makes the muzzleloaders for Lyman. I own a GPR in .54 cal and a Richland Arms Hawken in .50 cal. The Richland Arms gun was also made by Investarms. There is a difference in stock fit between the Trade a Rifle and the GPR. I would shoulder both and see which fits your body style best.
Lyman Trade rifle - The Muzzleloading Forum
Mar 3, 2022 · Appreciate any info. gunpa. My dad's ole elk rifle is a Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 calibre. The trigger is very smooth, great shooting gun. I'm, personally, best with a set trigger, usually a double set trigger. Yet I can shoot his Trade Rifle very accurately, due to the quality trigger. He bought the gun new back in the late 80's early 90's ...
Lyman Trade Rifle Accuracy?? - The Muzzleloading Forum
Reaction score. 1. Oct 4, 2009. #1. I have a .54 Trade rifle that shot good right off the start with 80g of 3f Graff, .535 home cast round ball, home cut felt wad, stumpy's moose snot, and a 10th pillow ticking patch cut at the muzzle. I have run out of the patching so I got some pre cut patches from Track that mic out at 16th.
Lyman Trade Rifle opinions | The Muzzleloading Forum
425. Nov 14, 2020. #2. I thought I had a Trade rifle but it turned out to be a Lyman 'Plains' rifle. Not a GPR. It's a .54 and is quite accurate as long as I don't put too much powder in it. It has shallow grove rifling and likes around 40-50 gr for target shooting. I'm assuming the Trade rifle would have the same barrel.
Lyman Trade rifle? - The Muzzleloading Forum
Jul 7, 2005 · Sep 17, 2017. #8. My most recent rifle is a Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 cal flint. I'm upgrading from my Deerstalker Grapefruit Slayer, to the Trade Rifle. Added Lyman peep & globe sights, and installed a lighter sear spring (under the plunger) for a better trigger pull. Accuracy is so extreme that I don't even need to add a set trigger.

.54 Lyman Great Plains Rifle Review | The Muzzleloading Forum
Jan 3, 2023 · The recoil with a 90 grain charge and round ball is very tolerable. This is now my favorite muzzleloader and I am eagerly awaiting deer season this year. The plans are to use this one in certain areas to start off with until I see how the old .54 round ball performs. Pictures to follow. Last edited: Aug 6, 2023.
Lyman .54 caliber Trade Rifle - HuntingNet.com Forums
Feb 1, 2005 · Lyman .54 caliber Trade Rifle. I just ordered one in Flintlock. I figure to try some Goex 3f about 85 grains and patched .530 & .535 roundball for starters. Anyone else shooting them that has a good load worked up, I would appreciate the information.. I am always looking for new loads to try. It was a real toss up between the Great Plains Rifle ...

Apr 4, 2016 · At the time they cost just under $200 each delivered. Two of the three went to co-workers, these rifles were one of the best values in muzzleloaders at the time. I've heard Lyman has gotten out of the muzzleloader business, too bad as the number of commercial manufactured muzzleloaders seems to be dwindling. Rock Home Isle.
Lyman trade rifle loads - The Muzzleloading Forum
Feb 19, 2005 · My wife just bought me a new lyman trade rifle, flinter 54 cal..1 in 48 twist. I am trying to find the right loads for target and elk hunting this year. I tried the loads that I use on my tc hawkins 50 but not the ideal load for the 54. I also tried the same loads as my 62 flinter it shot almost dead center at 100 yds for 3 shots.
