    Different calibers different bags

    Even though my 50 cal flintlocks are currently shooting the same load, 70 gr 3f under a 250 gr lee, I'm still a fan of each rifle (or in my case each barrel, I can swap out a 50 cal for a 40 or a 53 smooth bore) having it's own bag.

    Hello from PA

    Remember us Pennsylvanians have extra incentive to go flintlock. There is something about sulfur smoke in the snow.

    How do you waterproof a wooden ramrod

    Thanks everyone for your answers, I wanted to hear what you all were doing before I did something stupid. Fortunately for me I have some bees wax, tung oil, carnuba wax, Ballistol, True Oil (unless it has dried out), boiled linseed oil, paste wax (maybe not Johnsons), kerosene, and raccoon oil...

    How do you waterproof a wooden ramrod

    I have a new to me .45 caplock with a wooden ramrod. I went to the range for a short session a few days ago and it was very hot and humid. I use a range rod so the wood rod stayed in its place on the rifle. While cleaning the rifle I probably sloped some water on the rod. Bottom line is when...

    FFL?

    I now add $50 to my estimated costs for any muzzle loader I'm interested in from Illinois. I got caught with this problem a few months ago; yep I paid an Illinois FFL to ship to my FFL. My FFL and I just scratched our heads as he handed me the box. No charge from my FFL but we both thought it...

    Will #11 CCI work on a ROA?

    Sorry for the delay in getting these posted, good old "other duties as assigned". It's just an abused plain jane and yep, they drilled through when they mounted those rifle sights. I shot one cylinder through it before I took the rifle sights off and it felt real good; I haven't put a front...

    Will #11 CCI work on a ROA?

    Hope you're not expecting a new out of the box example, when I picked this one up it had a set of modern Remington rifle sites on it. I'll try to take a few images tomorrow.
