    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    There wasn't? I was at the range making one last swab before I went home. The only time there was powder in it was (read) was when I was trying to shoot it out and there was too much patch juice. It rendered the powder inert. This was AFTER I was able to push the brush up a tiny bit for powder...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    Well, lesson learned. To my defense, this is my 2nd rifle in a year. I only have 1 year black powder shooting under my belt. I did not have anyone to show me the how and the what. Everything I've learned has been through tial, error, and online research.

    I said in a previous post the PVC pipe smushed the brush. So Dropbox doesn't work for links... and I ran out of time for edit. Sorry for double post.

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    It was aluminum, I believe. To rifleman. I did try to shoot it out. I had too much wetness by the time I seated the brush and patch it rung it out onto the powder causing it be inert. I tried 10 different times to shoot it out. Undo barrel, dry out the breech, powder again. It was getting...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    Because I can, because I want to, because it was nylon and so forth and so on. I took it to a shop because I didn't know what else to do. Why would I come on here for a berating anyways? I look for advice on an issue, simple as that. Talk to like minded people with more experience than I...

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    My problem isn't with the ramrod. I learned with my first rifle not to use the ramrod. I bought a brass range rod when I bought this gun. I'm looking up thread size for the liner. I did take the barrel to a shop and was immediately shutdown and berated. Needless to say, I won't ever go there...

    Well, the hook didn't work. I think I'm going to have to try shoot it out. I put a light up to the vent and don't see any spill over. So that means its at least tight. Where can I get a fitting for the grease gun? Mechanic?

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    I know. It sit all night without being cleaned and I could hear it's whimpers of pain. I did spray ballistol mix into the breech and through the muzzle. I'll try the fish hook idea. I was going to use a patch puller, but can't find mine and no local place to get.

    RamRod/rangerod accessories manure

    After getting a Pedersoli Blue Ridge/Frontier and finally getting to go make smoke something terrible happened. I was packing it all in after a few good shoots and cleaning the bore with a nylon brush wrapped with a cleaning patch. It wasn't tight or anything, just snug. The brush broke off the...

    lyman or pedersoli??

    Thanks all. I'm pretty excited. I started with the Lyman Trade. 50. This makes my second rifle. I stupidly traded the Lyman for something and have regretted since. I guess BP runs in my blood. :rotf: I'll make a new thread when I receive it.
