    Accuracy variables .32 crockett

    I have bought a 5-pack of remington 0 buckshot. I didn't want to have an 8 pound bag of buckshot that didn't fit. But the remington shot well in my pedersoli .32. I had to use an .010 patch rather than an .015 but it was nice to know it would work................watch yer top knot.............

    Hand cast vs. swaged round balls

    Patches

    You should try a wad between your powder and patched ball. Felt would be worth a try about 1/8 of an inch thick. Try both dry and lubed and see if that helps.................watch yer top knot..............

    Cleaning your flintlock

    This question is for those of you who plug your flashhole with a toothpick when cleaning. Do you have trouble with the toothpick breaking? How much trouble is it getting the toothpick out? ..............watch yer top knot..............

    Over Powder Wads

    Years ago I was hunting with a friend and at the end of the day his lube had completely soaked his powder charge. Since that time I put something on top of my powder to protect it. Not for accuracy but to protect my powder.

    Castor oil / Denatured alcohol patch lube users question

    I have used moose juice also. It worked well but I prefer to use Stumpy's moose snot for patch lube. This is a mixture of bee's wax and castor oil with a little murphy's oil soap. A very slick lube.............watch yer top knot..............

    BARKING A SQUIREL

    I don't know about your possums down there but a .36 should be fine for an American possum. I have shot them with a .22 revolver with no problem.

    Testing loads over snow

    This is something you see mentioned a lot. I have never done it. The more I study on it the more likely it would seem that any powder un-burned inside the barrel would be burned once outside the barrel. I am believing this is an old myth such as placing tje ball in the palm of your hand and pour...
