    Getting too many misfires

    That's good to know. I've looked at my kit in the drawer many times and read the various threads. Shortly after I bought the cap maker I got into flintlocks ...... I actually do not remember the last time I shot one of my caplocks. Maybe I'll get the caplocks out at the family reunion this...

    Getting too many misfires

    I've had multiple Investarms and TC percussion muzzleloaders (7-8?). Still have three. Have used most subs, now use black powder. Our deer season is five weeks, temps +/- 32° with sleet - freezing rain - wet snow (or colder!). 1. Use a sub-caliber scraper to keep breech chamber clear of carbon...

    1-28 twist rifles?

    The smoke in a modern house fire is so full of caustic and toxic elements from the burning plastics and chemicals that it will etch and corrode anything. Pottery, glass, stainless - you name it. They also used foam when overhauling the fire, and every inch of everything was sprayed with it. I've...

    1-28 twist rifles?

    My early TC WMC .50 had a 1:20 twist. I spent a lot of time, money and materials trying to get it to shoot. Pie plate groups at best with anything but a specific combo of sabot and bullet. After the house fire it was badly pitted, so fitted it with a TC Hawken barrel 1:48. Happy, happy and never...

    New Avatar with Stuff I want

    I was reading a thread today in which they were bemoaning the lack of coverage of Spanish arms in North America. To me, it is the Dutch guns that have not been given the coverage and significance they are due regarding their numbers, forms and impact on North American history.

    Black grouse and capercaillie hunting

    I'll be glad when the snow settles in here. It's my second favorite time of the year to be in the woods.

    These have, on occasion, given me problems. These have worked for me, although I don't think they are HC.

    Stuck

    Yes, that's the ticket. I chose changing up patch thickness and diameter, and polishing only because I didn't want to modify the wiping stick that came with the gun.
