    Midwest Powders-BE WARNED!!!!

    Though I was not diligent, Midwest Powders is a scam. First you must buy $200 then what I thought was a bit much, was they go through PAYPAL but it ends up going to a personal account. DO NOT ORDER from them. They said I would get a refund and have received nothing. PayPal and my CC was not able...

    Swamped vs Straight barrels

    I have researched in the archives but was unsuccessful or not found it. I have heard from a couple builders that using a swamped barrel will not be as accurate due to bullet harmonics when fired through the barrel because of the shape and the material removed from the barrel. True or not...

    wads n' patches n' patches n' wads

    Ok here is a question that has confused me. Fellow I know started laughing when I explained to him about loading a rifle and then about my cap and ball. Why do we use wads for pistols (including single shots) but patches for rifles? :idunno: Why not wads for both or patches for both...

    I am looking into buying a ToW rifle kit and am wondering what the consensus is on these kits. Good, Bad...I know many people like the Chambers and TVM kits but those are a bit out of my reach for the foreseeable future. (or maybe I read them wrong?) I am also wanting to build a kit so my...
