    ADDING SOLDER TO LEAD FOR ROUND BALL CASTING

    Solder is mostly tin. You normally add it to unmentionable smokeless bullets to help with the filling out of the lube grooves in the mould. There is no benefit adding it to muzzleloading roundball and it will probably make the lead alot harder and would reduce expansion of the roundball.

    Joann's - what am I doing wrong ?

    Here is pair of white and black striped ladies pants I picked up at the thrift store. They are 50/50 cotton linen. As soon as I saw them I knew what they would be used for. I soaked them in walnut dye. The brown and black striped cloth will look real sharp as the liner for a shooting pouch flap...

    Favorite caliber to shoot

    If this was the 18th century, people would say you got a witch in the barrel. Draw picture of a witch in charcoal on a barn door and shoot her with a ball with some silver in it. You could also write out a incantation to expel the witch and put it under the butt plate of your gun. I love the old...

    Ordering cannon fuse

    Things have changed since I was a kid. We always went to the local hobby shop to get our rocket engines and the cannon fuse to light them. I don't know if your local hobby shop sells cannon fuse. It is worth looking into so you don't have any mailing hassles. Do they charge hazmat for that ?
