    Wiping between shots

    This is what I do, though I add a dry patch after the damp. It takes a couple extra seconds, and I once caused my own ignition problem with a patch that was too wet.

    My first Lyman 54 GPR kit... Update #2

    That is nice! I like the simple, clear natural finish on the wood. How did you decide on the vinegar treatment vs. a rust treatment? Looking at this makes me want to do a kit, although I would get a flintlock. I already have a percussion GPH in .50, and percussion GPR in .54.

    How to tighten loose wedge?

    I had the same issue on a new Lyman GPR. Tap the lug like necchi says. The Lyman manual says use a pipe, and roll the pipe over the lug while giving it light "whacks". I say whacks because I started very light taps and it didn't work until I gave it a little "oomph". But start lightly as I...

    Stop the presses!!

    In looking at all these posts, I have to say that while we love shooting black powder in the traditional way, and have the interest and make the time to learn how to do it, a lot of people use muzzleloaders so they can go hunting and extra day or 2. Pellets, :barf: and powerbelts( :barf...
