    T/C pistol

    Hi guys, been a while since I've been here. Today I went to see an old guy I've known for years about a gun he had for sale. ( 6.5x55 Sweede). While I was there I saw a T/C percussion in .45 cal. No model name on it, but it had double set triggers and a hood over front sight. I think it was...

    Got some lead, I think.

    A friend knew I was casting round balls and left some lead at my place while I was away a few days ago. It's from a printer, comes in small pieces with letters on one end. Took a few thin ones and tried to bend them but they broke in half, brittle little buggers. They can't be pure lead, so...

    Lyman .54 flint

    Just got a flyer a few days ago from Midway. They are selling Lyman .54 flint locks in kit form for $360.00 plus shipping. Is this as good a deal as it looks to me or can I get a better deal? This is a GPR, 1 in 60 twist.

    amadou

    OK, I'm new to a lot of this stuff so, amadou, I had to google this just to find out what you folks were talking about. I think I got the type of fungus ( the white ones off of birch trees? ) and that the layer I want is right under the cream colored cap. Now is there a preparation that I need...

    RCBS Scale

    I'm about to start casting balls for the first time, just got a Lee Pro 4 20 furnace and a couple of molds. Now I want a scale to weigh the balls I'm casting so the lepers can go back in the pot. I'm looking at a RCBS Range Master 750, any body got one of these? Is it good, bad or do you have...

    Bolster ?

    I'm going to try browning a CVA .45 barrel. My ? is, it has a drum bolster to put the nipple in, should I try to remove this when I sand the barrel? Can I remove it as in it has a regular thread on it. If I do remove to sand and brown the barrel should I sand the bolster and brown that too...

    ball blocks

    What's a good wood to make ball blocks out of? I'm thinking of making a few and don't want to go through the work only to find out, " you never make one out of pine because they split when you load them". Is there a good wood thats easy to find? Not to exotic now.

    nipples

    Went to the range today, wanted to try a few different patch thicknesses and Stumpys Moose Snot. When I got home and cleaned the gun I saw the hole on the bottom of the nipple was starting to get an oval shape to it. Is this one just junk now or is this common and I can still use it? I know...

    Goex or KIK

    Just got back from the range after using Goex for the first time, I have been using KIK in the past. My gun, a T/C Renegade Hunter all of a sudden in the past month took a liking to KIK 2f witch was strange because up until then I could not tell the difference between 2f and 3f KIK in the groups...

    Char cloth

    Going up to the hunting shack next week to do a little grouse hunting, plan on a camp fire a few nights so I thought I might try to make some char cloth. I've been saving the used patches from my gun at the range but they often have a oily feel to them from Stumpy's moose juice. Now the ? is...

    T/C ?

    Was over on the hunting forum and it was bought up about the mortise under your barrel may or may not need to be weather proofed. I have a T/C Renegade with a wood stock and have wondered when cleaning the gun if the bare wood in the mortise needed to be treated or if it had been done at the...

    Powder ? #2

    I'm thinking about getting a flinter in the next year or so and I am going to order a case of powder this week. So I am planning to order 1 pound of 4f for primer. Is Swiss 4f worth the money? I want to order 1 can each of 2f and 3f Swiss just to see if my gun likes it, split the other 22 cans...

    powder ? #1

    I know it's not good to take your gun inside a warm cabin then take it out the next day into the cold then back in the heat ect. But i'll take a can of powder with me during hunting season and the cabin is wood heated so the temp. moves up and down a lot depending on how long i am gone. Should...

    I'm lost, need help!

    I've got a T/C Renegade hunter .54 thats driving me nuts. A while back I made a thread about how my glasses where screwing up my shooting, well now I'm back to being a spray hitter. I shot fairly good for about a month. Not clover leaf groups but groups that where about the same height above...

    Moose juice

    I mixed up a batch of Stumpy's moose juice and put my pillow ticking in it, then layed it out to dry, then bottled the juice and capped it. Now when it's dry i'll put it in the juice again. Do I let it dry for a few hours or do I roll it up and bag it wet? Kinda got into the Brewers game and...

    Chinese powder

    At the range last night I was talking to a few old vets of black powder shooting and they said they really liked a powder that was made in China. If I remember right it was called something like Ladua (sp?), they also referred to it as Dragon. Have any of you heard of or used this powder, and...

    accuracy revelation

    I'm kind'a a new guy around here, been around for a few months. I've been trying to come up with a load for deer hunting, if I was a baseball player my manager would call me a spray hitter. No matter what I tried, 2F, 3F, Filler, different patches or wiping between each shot I just could not...
