    Bar & Chain oil?

    Bidenomics, which is much stickier than bar oil.

    Pocket drill cloth at Joann's

    I went looking at the local JoAnn's today. I won't tell you how long I had to wait to get service. Finally, I was able to ask for #40 drill and was told their system showed 1.2 yards in stock but they couldn't find it. After my experience I'm no longer wondering why they may be going out of...

    My balls

    Let me think, posts on balls. There's blue balls, graphite tumbled balls, wrinkled balls, balls with long sprues, balls having voids, and probably a few I've missed in posts here. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna touch this one. It's enought to make a guy want his balls swaged, it pains me. 😆

    Only one gun allowed!

    At this moment in time my two favorite calibers are .45 and .54. I lean heavily toward percussion guns. I voted for the .45 or less however were I not winding down my hunting, an age thing, I be solid on the .54. I figure for target shooting, including plinking, a .45 caplock would be the right...

    Light hunting rifle, straight stock?

    I had a .50 WM Carbine rebored to .54 with a roundball twist which has worked to my satisfaction but then it's not a slug shooter, that could be brutal.

    Light hunting rifle, straight stock?

    Thompson Center used octagon to round barrels on their White Mountain Carbine and PA Hunter Rifle and Carbines. I'm especially fond of the PA Hunter Carbine. There were a couple of other manufacturers offering octagon to round barrels as well. I'm not aware of any current models with this type...

    Spectators

    Spectators at the range, how do you handle them? If you're shooting a muzzleloader at a range mostly you deal with spectators. I get them often and I don't mind unless they interrupt me while I'm attending to my gun, especially loading and taking aim to fire. I try to be polite and answer...

    Black powder on smokeless ranges

    Years ago I had a older gentleman, about the age that I am now, who got fairly upset by my smoke. He'd grouse but never made an issue of it. Then they were a couple of guys who used to call me Doctor Smoke, jokingly as far as I could tell. I occasionally get a comment or two but nothing I...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    There are two routes I use to my gun club depending on traffic reports. One is 25 miles, the other 30 miles one way. This morning the traffic report was wrong. I took the 30 mile route and got hung up for about 30 minutes in traffic. When I arrived at the range the parking lot was dug up for a...

    Took my new Traditions Crockett to range for the first time

    The Crockett Rifle, tons of fun. I sometimes regret letting mine go. It appears you're off to a good start. I wish I'd kept the tag I'd attached to my Crockett with a group and load information on it. Mine would shoot clover leafs or near clover leafs regularly at 25 yards. I can't recall the...

    Relined barrel proble

    I had Bobby Hoyt rebore one barrel, a trashed caplock T/C .50 White Mountain Carbine to .54 with a roundball twist. I was completely satisfied with the whole experience, and the barrel shoots very well.
