    National Escargot Day is May 24 - Let's Shoot Some Snails

    I got out to shoot last Friday. It's a gorgeous time to be in the desert! If i scored it right I'm looking at 30 with a new 1851 Pietta shooting 454 homecast balls, 25 grains of Graff 3f, and some old Winchester magnum BP primers. Not a bad day... I hope to get out this week or the next to...

    CVA Trapper Shotgun Question

    And this is why this is the best forum! I appreciate everybody's quick response. Iceman has one of these shotguns, and sent me some photos. As you guys pointed out, my ramrod is a little too thin for the ramrod end to hold it in place (it looks like the bulge ramrod end pinches against the...

    CVA Trapper Shotgun Question

    October Postal Match target

    Not a bad day shooting! The first target was shot with an Uberti 1858 loaded with 20 grains of ffg under a .451 ball at 15 yards offhand. The second was with a Perdersoli Kentucky .50 flint, shooting a .485 ball, spit .018 patch, and 60 grains of ffg. If I scored them correctly its 43 for the...
