    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Ran a box and half of .54s thru the woodsrunner today, 250ish rounds total so far. Finished and sighted it in a couple of days ago, managed to line up two pigs that afternoon. Stock fits me good, its an easy to put together kit, everything just works. Nice to have a flinter with a flat...

    Loading down for a .62 flinter

    65Grs of 2F seems to be a sweet spot in my .62 smoothbores and rifles. Started out the 120 gr route of the conventional wisdom of the day, then bought a .62 tradegun from Rob Miller, all of 5 pounds and change, he turned me on the less is more. That lighter charge is a lot more pleasant to shoot...

    SPECIAL SELECT MAPLE Kibler Kits Move quickly!!!

    Untold years of 1,000 hrs plus of overtime and here I am, an old man with enough time and funds to do what I want to do and that is collect and shoot muzzleloaders. Wish I was a little younger.

    Bullet moulds

    It's pretty easy to run through more than a pound of powder and a hundred or so roundballs in an afternoon of plinking. I can only justify that much shooting a couple of times a week if I mold my own balls. Besides, I kind of like casting them anyway. Part of the fun.

    Choosing a melting furnace.

    Lee pots work good and are a good value. Need a thermometer with it and you should be good to go. Much prefer the bottom pour.

    Cast a few round balls this afternoon, had big plans for a few more calibers but, my ambition subsided. Oh well.

    Warmed up enough this afternoon to play with my .62 smoothrifle. Still have a couple of doe tags left, may take it hunting in the morning. It's steel plate worthy out to sixty long paces. That ought to do it.

    .662 with a .15 wet patch, easy to load and keeps the bore swabbed with every shot, 65 grns of 2F for plinking, up to 110 for a little extra punch.

    Do You Remove Your Barrel?

    Only time I remove a barrel is if it needs to be bent straight when sighting in a new one. Like to keep the sights in the middle of the flats. After that, leave it alone.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Got away and spent a pleasant afternoon with my 1795. This one has a pretty good trigger and I managed to connect with the steel plates with regularity after I got my head in the game. Used .662s, .15 patches, a undetermined ratio of ballistal and water, kinda oily, with 70 gr. of 2F made for...
