    coming lead shortage

    east coast baby! after Sandy came through theres sailboat keels O plenty all over the place waiting to be salvaged. I got a few friends together and we picked a good one already on land and hauled to a dump staging lot, had 2 mason saws and a stack of abrasive wheels and cut the whole boat up in...

    Best way to pervent Oxidation of Cast balls

    I use the same thing, Ive tried with the steel bearing media, and without, and in the end, it really doesnt matter, so without is easier you dont have to sort out the media later. It seems to take me 1-1/2 to 2 days or so to really mash out the sprue. It seems to work better with more in the...

    Small Game Flinter

    plenty have, the problem there is it usually ends up a very heavy gun, to keep the same size barrel (to fit the stocks channel) with a smaller bore, adds a lot more metal to the barrel, weight that most overlook when considering a barrel swap. Ive done it, but in hindsight I would rather have...

    Cherokee .32 Worth

    I have 3 of them, one double trigger and 2 single. I paid abt 3-400 for all of them, but theres a big difference in quality between them. the worst has a plain blond stock with a few scratches and a bit of wear, but came with a .45 barrel and a bunch of balls/various accessories. its my woods...

    Colorado Turkey with a .32

    is it all about the speed? maybe try some TC maxi balls. at about 103 grn. if you can get the accuracy, it may at least for legal sake,from a ft/lb standpoint, eliminate a lot of questionables. Hmm..it states manufacturers rating. doesnt say actual tested data.. kinda leaves a pretty big...

    Loads for Traditions Crockett

    adjustable pistol measures are the key for these small calibers. When you are working up the best load you need to be able to adjust and fine tune, and your working with such small charges and changing in small increments. One you discover that sweet spot load, you can then bore an antler...

    GM 32 cal barrel?

    I dont have a GM barrel, But I DO have several .32 cal. Usual rule for almost all seems .310/.311 ball~.015/.018 patch .315 ball~.010 patch and Ive heard some even use a .319 ball. Ive never gone that big as I doubt I could find a thin enough patch to work. and depending on the barrel twist...

    I live on the barnegat bay, with a rich history of market gunners, punt boats/guns..etc there are several museums locally with examples of punt guns, some were a 2 man to shoot deal. One guy just shouldered it at the forearm, and one to shoot. theres a few local decoy and gunning shows yearly...

    Hot Soapy Water?

    Think its just supposed to be tepid (warm) but after reading dutch Schoultz papers, and swabbing a barrel I know was shiny clean the day before a few times,and seeing a new rust form, I quit using water alltogether for cleaning. I use windex or window cleaner at the range, But for cleaning its...

    Drop in deer hunter barrel?

    Wow!! even in the communist republic of New Jersey I can get parts without a hitch, but they want you to go through a FFL for a full gun, even BP. but there are still a bunch of loopholes. Its all about a politician wanting his piece of the pie.. If theres money flowing around, they expect a...

    Small caliber rifles.

    I have a few .32 cal they are great, just a bit shorter range than a larger cal. when properly used there is no problem shooting. I regularly put 30-80 shots through one in a day at the range. here you cant use anything over .36 cal for rabbits/squirrel. so the whole .40+ squirrel is out. I...
