    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I took a six gun out to do some target shooting this morning, I thought it would be a good way to start the day to punch a Target, the loading lever stud came out when I fired and I couldn't find it. Had to get to work hope I can go back and find it another day.

    Proper nipple for muzzleloader
