    Strange but true

    More likely they didn't want someone during the small game season with a large caliber ball that could be used to take big game.

    Sight question for older shooters

    Besides age, I've got the problem of the loss of my right eye. With only one eye, my sighting alternatives are more limited.

    Felt wads under patch and ball?

    I put a felt wad on top of my over-powder grits. BUT, I made a ball board that can hold the ball, patch, AND the wad. I don't have another loading step this way except when loading the ball board. Another thing about my ball board, I recessed an octagon cutout of my muzzle so that the ball...

    Colonial era blackpowder vs today's black powder.

    That's interesting. How/where did you get your information on the quality of CSA black powder? Actually, there was a very large black powder production facility in Augusta, Georgia. Yes, they used liquid manure, etc. to the point that wagons made regular rounds of homes in Augusta and...

    Colonial era blackpowder vs today's black powder.

    Yes, it was saltpeter. You may want to refine it a bit (mix with water and dry thoroughly to separate contaminants) before mixing it with your other ingredients.
