    Black powder on smokeless ranges

    That is sometimes a huge issue at the range club I am part of. Photos of the mess left behind are posted on their FB page in hopes the culprits may be identified and suffer the consequences of their disrespectful behavior. I always wonder what those litterbugs' homes look like.

    Light hunting rifle, straight stock?

    Does Ox Yoke still offer their short flinter. Always admired that gun. It has quality parts. Laminated stock. Not cheap.

    Pedersoli Double 20 Ga. Flint

    I have come a long way since my adventures with my double Pedersoli. A very long way. Now I understand how much difference there is between an unmentionable scatter gun and a black powder smooth bore, I feel really excited about the upcoming KIbler.

    Get your deer tested

    Good grief. This is the first time I've ever heard of it. I have killed animals that look sick just for their own sake, but never heard of a disease like this. Seems like something else that I refuse to worry about. I don't read or listen to the news much. I just do my own thing. go hunting...

    How do you stabilise your rifle for load testing/sighting in?

    I would never trust off hand shooting as a reliable method for sighting in. I can't imagine anyone achieving precise results that way. Human error is inevitable. Personally, I do it from the bench using one of those rifle rest that permits repeatable alignment. I mean the sled-like rests that is...

    First Flint bore charge not going off.

    Yes. Alcohol is our friend for removing oil and moisture. I always use it before a shooting or hunting session. I actually pour some down the barrel and then push it out the flash hole When it squirts out the hole I know the vent is clear of oil or moisture. Swabbing the bore with alcohol and...

    Large Siler Lock Jaws to Frizzen Alignment

    That would bug me into being unstable. Functions well or not, just the idea of such a visible effect on an expensive rifle wu not let be rest until fixed. As always, that's just me.

    .45 Round Ball Water Test

    I've never even thought of doing such a test, but very interesting. I mean I've always shot for the best round ball accuracy as long as it was not too puny for a deer load. I reckon I have always relied on the fact that the round ball was plenty good enough based on history.
