    Best basic book on cleaning, loading and firing black powder rifle/shotgun?

    Somewhere in this forum you will find answers to questions that when we start shoot the different types of muzzleloaders we don't know to ask. For example "the dry ball" is something that happens at the worst time. Pushing brushes down barrel to find that when you pull the rod the brush is...

    Plugging percussion nipples

    I plug nipples with wooden tooth picks. With barrels off gun I fill both with evap o rust and let set a day or two. The evap o rust dissolves all rust. If the barrels leak I clean them good and line to a smaller gauge if I want to use it.

    Pietta Sheriff's model 44 caliber

    When I use a ball that fits without shaving much lead mine are easier to load. I shoot reduced loads and the brass frame guns are still as tight as my steel frame guns. Other than a sabertooth chipmunk occasionally I don't hunt so heavy loads not necessary. I love my brass frame guns. My brass...

    FOR SALE 45 cal Jukar Percussion Rifle

    I bought from him not too long ago, great guy to do business with. He is retired, probably like most of us retired guys, the "Honey do list" comes first. I do not need another rifle but tempted to buy this one.

    Why aren’t handles included with some bullet moulds?

    Some of us have been doing this for decades and have multiple sets of molds and handles. Saving the cost of another set of handles when buying another mold is nice. Also a mold with handles takes up more space than just mold. Especially with multiple cavity molds. Buying with or without handles...

    Loading cylinders using a press

    I started using a press for loading cylinder on a brass frame open top with a short load lever. It was easier to load with than the short load lever. Now I use a press to load all my cylinders. I cap after the cylinder is in gun. To me there is not much difference in the effort required to...

    SOLD 1851 Navy Sheriff .36 Black Powder Revolver

    I do not know why he has not replied? I have bought several things from him over the past few years. He has always answered questions, sent photos and I am totally satisfied with everything bought. Would buy from him again if he had something I wanted. The gun was probably sold a year ago.
