    Wad use with prb

    In my experience, a felt wad (1/8” Durofelt) prevents a carbon ring when using a wet patch. I generally lube with either LVL or Dawn and water. I experience good groups at 50 yds and easy clean up.

    Call Douglas barrels and ask for Stanley Taylor, he’s been there for awhile and could possibly shed some light on this.

    FOR SALE 36 seneca-nib

    In this case is nib meaning NEW IN BOX? Nipple seems to have a black build up on it when pic is expanded. Perhaps dust ?

    Extremely frustrated

    And some more free advice. If you watch a benchrest shooter they don’t hang on to the rifle with all they are worth. They let the rifle recoil into their shoulder, also, some guys will use their index finger and thumb to squeeze the trigger. Let the rifle recoil like it wants to. Putting a death...

    Extremely frustrated

    I have found it depends on a few items. This year with th powder situation I decided to play with some Pyrodex in my Lyman GPR. All round ball shooting at 100 yds, I had a nipple go south in two outings. Groups opened up tremendously with only 75 grains of RS. The nipple had a very obvious flame...

    .50 caliber Hawken sighting problems, mine, not the rifle.

    I put a Pedersoli USA 465 rear sight and a Lyman 20MJT on my Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken. Makes the target very easy to see and enjoy for longer range sessions.

    Felt wads under patch and ball?

    Unlike coupe I tried 9/16” wads I punched out to see what a larger tighter wad would do. My results were erratic, 2-3 good shots followed with a wild one. I could only assume the wad was folding or laying over as I was pushing it down the bore. If you try them and it works excellent, but for me...

    Felt wads under patch and ball?

    I too have been playing with felt wads. I purchased some 1/8” felt from Duro Felt and punch them with an inexpensive 1/2” punch. So far I have not put any lube on them and they are working great. I’m using them in a Pedersoli Rocky mountain hawken 48” twist and a Lyman GPR 60” twist. My lube of...

    Pedersoli load info on their site states .535” ball with a .010” patch. https://www.davide-pedersoli.com/storage/app/uploads/public/602/248/bde/602248bde0279108526447.pdf

    Source for Pedersoli spare parts?

    VTI is a source I have used, recently purchased various nipples from them with quick shipping. Another possible source is Flintlocks etc, they are going out of business so I’m sure their inventory will be limited.

    I’m just curious how thick the blueing was.
