    Odd results; bench vs. offhand shooting

    All good things to consider. Both TDM and Smoothie and Dave make very good points here. I do bench testing trying to simulate the offhand , in a way. Something I learned from air rifle shooters - resonance. I set the rest high and use a bag 2/3 full. I do not want a "hard" bag. Place my...

    Joann's - what am I doing wrong ?

    Don - you are right on that. Also, while in the store I overheard an associate talking on the phone to someone engaged in a discussion about items to put on a clearance list. Quite the discussion - as in they seemed to have a hard time communicating with each other - even using the camera to...

    Joann's - what am I doing wrong ?

    Today I went to 2 of their stores - Looking for Drill cloth. Local had none. Second store some 12 miles out - but the site told me they had 20 yd. When I got to the second store they had NONE. So I got some red ticking - measures 015 with the mic. This works ok in some tight bore t/C and...

    Importance of ‘load development’ to find the BEST group!

    Your point is well made. And justified. I have used the same procedure for decades when hand loading modern rifles. No different in ML.

    Ramrods, Hunting, other than wood ....

    I'm curious about this, and have read posts on the forum about broken ramrods while hunting. There seems to be interest in Delran type rods. My question for the members is ... how do you folks slim them down to fit when they need to be tapered ? I've used straight Delran rods on T/C's...

    New member and my first muzzle loader

    As other members have said - PLEASE post a complete pictorial of this fine rifle. It is of historical interest to many here and beyond. Thank You for bringing this Dickert to our attention.

    What should I use to polish and smooth tumbler and lock pieces?

    On the idea of stones .... I found some good ones from McMaster-Carr. Good quality and inexpensive. Also, different grades. And these boys do ship fast. On lock work overall .... agree with Flint....you can send it out for smoothing and tuning - but - to someone reputable. I know Cabin...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I thought so too. But the front does not have the sharp foot that the rear does. I did try and file the front down but took off a hair too much so the fit is not as tight as I would like. I'll try again with the spare I have. A photo of two sights. Pretty easy to see the sharp foot on the...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Tried to fit the new taller rear sight to the Woodsrunner. Didn't do so well and it was loose. I have another to try but thought I'd blacken it first just to try the Jax. Luckily I have a spare rear sight to work on. I'm not too good at this so I may go thru a few. I wanted to file from...

    Fitting the Rear sight

    TDM.... Perfect. It's a new Kibler taller rear. No casting or machine marks on the base. But I did notice that tiny angled tab on the rear as seen in the photo. I believe that is there to lock the base into the dovetail and I did not want to take it off. SO, I'm taking you advise and will...

    Kibler?

    GREG ... They ARE there. And all are working hard. My most recent order placed online was acknowledged yesterday. And shipped. NOTE :::: There has been talk on both sides about coming out with a NEW KIT. Now, you gotta know that takes a lot of work not the least of which is the...
