    In about a month I am going to have the opportunity to shoot my .54 cal capper out to two hunnert. What are some things to do to keep the ball headin where you want it at this range? My usual load is 100 g FFg. Should I fortify that a little? Where do you put the iron before you squeeze...

    Priming the Nipple

    I've seen some handy little priming devices for priming under the nipple, for getting out a dry ball. Does anyone make it a practice to prime under the nipple with FFFFg as a matter of course? While hunting, for instance? Thanks, sse

    "Buffler" he was...

    ..."Stumblin" he wernt. Had the pleasure to meet Stumblin Buffler today at a nice show north of town. Impressive young feller with a do-it-maself way about him, as you would expect. The "motley buckskinner mafia" that he kept company with was a bit troubling, though. :eek: :eek: :D :D...

    Huniting Practices w/Muzzleloader

    I'm going to head up and use my percussion .54 cal roundball shooter during regular firearm deer season. Can't use spit patch, so I'm wondering what would work instead. Crisco? I do have some of that beeswax/canola oil mixture on some patches, but its pretty stiff. Any other options? Also...

    OK not to clean?

    Was shooting my percussion rifle today (.54, slow twist Green Mountain barrel). Day after tomorrow I'll be at a shoot. Is it OK to do a provisional cleaning today and then the thorough cleaning after the shoot? My thought would be to clean out the bore real well with rubbing alcohol, dry...

    I have a friend who did something really stupid. He put the charge down the .54 barrel, then short-started the ball in the usual manner, but then forgot to use the ram rod to shove the ball down any further and went and shot the thing anyways. And, he may have done this more than once. Can...

    Well gents, I just acquired a trio of brass accoutrements that needed a major cleaning job. I used Brasso and this worked amazingly well, but there are still a few tough spots really going slow. Is Brasso the only option for tough brass cleaning jobs? Any other ideas?? Thanks, sse (and...
