I modified a small (.25diam)screw driver for a short stater, about 2" and then use a 36 cal starter to push...

    I recently got a Traditions 32 cal Crockett and trying diff combos to shoot....would a 310 ball with 20 patch be the equivalent of a 320 with a 10 patch? Would the minor weight diff be of any value? I generally shoot spit patch as I'm shooting at paper and so far no patch has burned or shredded...

    Thought I knew whats what but right now I'm confused. I thought the main diff between a Hawkins and renegade was the fancy furniture as both are offered in same calibers. Recently I read about a renegade with a 1" barrel as opposed to 15/16" and it was a 50 cal. I got a Investarm 50 cal that I...
