    How do you fill the powder horn?

    I made a funnel from a used .243 Winchester round. I cut the head off with a tubing cutter, then flared the cut end. I drilled a hole, the size of the shaft, in an old powder can lid. I inserted the shell through the hole and soldered it in place. The end of the casing is approximately 1/4"...

    Good news!

    Out of curiosity, I googled a conversion and 20 pounds is about 25.82 US, a good buy. I believe the pellets will fly like shot, maybe like a slight spreader pattern, fine for a 30yard bunny shot. Keep yer powder dry...….robin

    Always be prepared when approaching shot game.

    No deer stories, but I saw a friend lose the end of his finger from a dead squirrel. It was our habit to let squirrels lie after they fell from the tree, in case there were more in the tree. After about a 30 minute wait, Paul walked over to pick up his squirrel. As soon as he touched it, it...

    How to stripe a ramrod

    I soaked butcher's string, ( about twice the thickness of kite string ), in a solution of potassium nitrate, ( salt peter ), and as much as will dissolve in water. Wrap the wet string around the ramrod and set aside until dry. Light one end of the string and it will burn a perfect spiral, then...

    Making what you need.

    Loading blocks for every caliber I shoot and measures out of 1/2" ID PVC tubing, with a piece of 1/2" dowel rod for a plug and cut at a 45 degree angle. Rough sanded, they look like bone.

    Front sight/how to?

    I use a common office product, "white out". It dries to a matt white finish and is easy to see and remove. They also make "yellow out", intended for use on legal pads, if you prefer that color. Keep yer powder dry...……....robin
