    Bag Balm for patch lube

    Any of you guys ever try Bag Balm as a patch lube? I have a huge tin of it. Don't know what its ingredients are though. I've heard of it being used to lubricate military weapons for long term storage too. Just wondering if you guys have any experience with the stuff.

    What size ball for a .613" bore?

    Gentlemen, I just measured the bore of my Fusil at .613 diameter. It's a Centermark. I'm currently using a .600 ball and a .020 drill cloth patch. I'm getting decent accuracy with this setup, but was wondering if I'd be better served with a .595 ball instead. The .600 ball loads pretty tough. I...

    Drop-in replacement barrels for GPR

    Does anyone know where I can get a drop in replacement barrel for my Lyman GPR flinter? I currently have a .50 cal but would like to have a .54 cal barrel. Would the .54 just drop in? Or would some inletting need to be done. I'm only interested in shooting round balls. Thanks for any help. :v

    undersized PRBs in a .50 cal rifle?

    I've been wondering about this for awhile now. I'm currently shooting a .490 PRB in my .50 cal GPR with a .018 patch in front of 70 gr FFFg with good results...Would it be feasible/safe to shoot say a .390 PRB with a double thickness of patch for smaller game such as coyotes or turkeys? Provided...

    what's your gun's name?

    Just thought it would be interesting to hear what some of you have named your frontstuffers. My .50 GPR goes by the name of "Martha". :hmm:

    GPR lock removal?

    Hiya everyone. How do you remove the lock from the stock of a Lyman GPR for cleaning? The manual states that after removal of the barrel, no further disassembly is required for cleaning. But I don't want any fouling buildup behind the lock. Is there a trick to this? Because once I remove the...

    sprue up? or down?

    Hi all. I'm wanting to get into casting my own roundballs. Probably a dumb question, but I didn't see it on a search. Do you load sprue up or down? And are there advantages to either way? Thanks for any help.
