    Sizing minie balls

    Thanks every one. I thought about rolling minie balls in between two steel plates. I was just wondering if one could machine there own sizer. My cousin is a machinist so that makes things easier

    Sizing minie balls

    Hello. I was shooting my Zouave (fairly new to me) replica last weekend and I found it very hard to load both the minie and round ball in .575. Its extremely difficult actually. So I’m wondering can I machine my own a sizing die for minie balls to take them down a few thousands? Or is there a...

    Wesson 1841 Copy

    I have one made to. Made by Richland arms in Italy. It is a fast twist but shoots great but seems to foul fast. Nice gun.

    First time out with my new Zouave

    thanks for the advice everyone. I will have to order some minie balls and try them out first. Just a thought, as for it shooting high what about the globe sight that track of the wolf sells for the Zouave that just slips onto the end of the barrel? It looks like it is higher than the stock front...

    First time out with my new Zouave

    Hello, i bought a unfired 1863 Remington contract rifle (Zouave) at the gun show a month back and finally got out to shoot it today. I'm using .575 balls with a 10 thousandth lubed patch and 60 grains of 2f black powder. So here's my results, at 25 yards it's shooting a foot high and 6" to the...

    Great Plains Rifle Lock

    Whats the problem with your lock? I dont think you said. My GPR was smashing flints but when I first got it (I would get maybe 11 strikes until I had to knap it), with the help from people on here now its not bad at all. Trevor

    Goat horn powder horn?

    Can't work on it yet. Im out of town working for the next week or two. From tip of the horn to the base it might be 9 or 10" maybe more. It must be off a large bread of goat, maybe a boar goat. Most goat horns I've seen are solid half way through, but this one is not. It is really rough on the...

    Goat horn powder horn?

    Hello. My wife picked up a large goat horn from the pet store for the dog to chew on and I was wondering if anyone has ever made one into a powder horn? I've done a couple powder horns already and thought I might give this a try. It seems harder than cow horn with more curve. Thanks

    cva kentucky rifle question

    I bought one about 3 years ago. It was a kit that was never started. I payed $250 for it (i needed a project). It turned out really good but I'm not crazy about the 2 piece stock. I am very surprised how accurate it is. I do believe the barrels are jukar and made in Spain

    How many of you folks can just walk out your door...

    I have 40 acres and have a 80 yard range set up in a low spot. I used a tractor to build a back stop there to. I shoot muzzleloaders and small stuff there. I figure if I need to shoot anything loud I will ussauly go to the range. My neighbours don't need to be disturbed by anything real loud. I...

    EIC P-1771 Brown Bess

    I guess that doesn't answer much. East India company was the main British company in India kind of like the Hudson bay company here. But they had there own army. in a nutshell but there's a lot more to it than that. Ima is an antique firearms importer out of the states.
