    Corrosion of the metal, not for poor cleaning. They told me it's a problem with the type of metal in the barrels. Many shooters say the metal of the barrels is of poor quality.

    It's been a while since my Gibbs didn't shoot as well as it used to, now I understand why.

    I used a Stifter's Gunflints hard metal nipple, it worked like a beryllium lined one.

    Saturday May 25th I participated in a shooting competition, I am very happy, I won at 100 and 200 meters, while at 500 I finished second. There was a lot of wind and it was raining a lot, I feel lucky to have gotten these groupings. I tried an old charge with 540 grains PP and 100 Swiss No. 4...

    I always put the powder before and then cleaned pushing the dirt over the poor, but with the PP I noticed that after a while the ball doesn't sit well on the load, that's why I reversed the loading / cleaning operations.

The first two shots went high, then I lowered the diopter. After a few centers the barrel was dirty and I got 3 shots down, the ball didn't...

At 100 meters after two shots I realize I have four and at that moment I hear the bang on my left and pierce my target. Here I got very angry and screamed at the competitor who...

    Hello, I still have your lubricated wads and I've also made it with an old felt hat. Cleaning is very easy, but I had a lot of problems doing good groupings with my bundles, maybe I put too much lubricant, I did not see where the shots went, until I saw one that came completely across, a nice...

    Best advice for removing a stuck nipple

    When you screw the nipple, to prevent this problem from occurring, do some rounds on the threads of the nipple with teflon from hydraulics
