:hmm: What about barrels that were iron in the day and steel nowadays?
I'm on the other side of the fence, half stadling maybe, from my wal-mart plastic possibles bag to my felt wads over my (sometimes subsitute BP). I'm still "pretending" to do it like great great great grampa holding off the injuns n yankees's from the farm :surrender:
You can still bring yer perfect gear into my camp and drink a beer (outta my aluminum cans) with me though :grin:
Seriously, do your caps have the same kinda filament? Did yer powder arrive at the trading post in a wagon pulled by livestock? Is the water you clean with crick water or does it have fluoride n chlorine? You arrive at yer P/C gathering on a horse or a Chevrolet? Yer balls cast with P/C molds or aluminum? Yer patch material come from a factory or did yer wife weave it in between chewing the fat from yer bufferlo robe?
See? Like TD Jakes always said (no i'm not a fan, but he is ammusing :haha: ) how much P/C (church) you'all wanna have?
Subs are granular, black (or dark), need measurd for a charge, fit in yer horn (some plastic out there), smoke when fired and gotta be cleaned up just like Goex. (we argue bout pellets later, still thinkin, I don't ever use em).
If ya show up in camp and dont wanna be seen witha can in yer hand just whip out yer tin cup and pour it in, we'll talk about game, trackin, injuns, redcoats, yankees and all that while I relax in my lawn chair and you sit on a stump!
I'd guess I'm trying to say NONE of ya are 100% P/C and many of us stopped trying to compete to get the closest when we got chaff real real bad after 60 miles on the horse headed to Friendship or what have ya.
I'm not a reenact-or by any means but I AM A MUZZLELAODER ENTHUSIAST (freak per wife n kids). Come on over! the fires warm and the marshmallows on the coat hangers are tasting mighty good
