    54 caliber, not so odd any more?

    My first BP rifle was a .54 TC kit that my wife bought as a Christmas gift in about 1985. I didn't put it together til the winter of 87 due to my being serious in the high power rifle program. I still have the TC and shoot it once in a while. It seems to be my favorite BP caliber and rifle.

    Crazy Crow non iron "Iron" cookware?

    Fire cleans and purifies. Burn the tool and if it gets cleaned off your problem is solved. If burning ruins the tool your problem is solved in a different way. Just get a different tool.

    To go left-handed or not

    In 1990 my right retina was lazered. Was right handed, Started shooting long guns left side and a year later was back to shooting high power master scores. Just change over and with time and effort you will be ok shooting left side. Handguns are no problem.

    Primers

    In the not too distant past always bought primers by the 5000 case and powder in 8 lb containers. I still have some of it and it is always better to over purchase. Same with muzzle loader stuff.

    Does this look right to you ?

    I'm more into function than aesthetics. If it shot well I personally wouldn't mess with it.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I have never liked set triggers with a rear trigger for the set but I'm too inept to change the system. Now even more so with the onset of arthritis in the fingers.

    Any other crazy kids out there?

    Late 80's Camp Perry Ohio at the high power rifle nationals every morning at 8am they fired a 105 field gun and raised the flag. One morning they fired the gun and a 2X4 went down range several hundred yards. During the night some smart azz put it in the barrel as a joke I guess. Luckily no...

    Need help with 1858 Enfield clone.

    I have an 1858 and a 1853. The 53 is an Indian smooth bore, the 58 is rifled. I'm just a plinker and I shoot PRB.s in both. Never have been able to have good luck with the minies.

    1860 colt day

    My entire family lives in the eastern U S and I'm not one to ask others to load my guns for me.

    1860 colt day

    Took the colt out today and put 18 rounds through it. Found it very difficult to load with my arthritic sore and somewhat unresponsive fingers. The grip is also really weird feeling. Right hand can't safely feel the trigger and the left hand the trigger feels really stiff. No win either...

    Yesterday went to the club shoot held on the second Saturday of the month. Took my little used 3 band Enfield and shot prb's in it. At 50 yards it held black for me it I did my part. It did not like minie balls at all. Also took my 62-20 smoothbore flinter and shot it several times with...
