    HELP Brown Bess proper wad (Ovrpowder!)

    These came with the Bess...the original owner used them. I just need to try it out but want to not mess up the loading sequence and end up with what would basically be a pipe-bomb next to my face. :)

    HELP Brown Bess proper wad (Ovrpowder!)

    This is helpful. Are the wads I have (in pic in OP) correct? I tried to find a video of someone actually loading for shot to see the procedure, but no luck.

    HELP Brown Bess proper wad (Ovrpowder!)

    Experimenting with my Brown Bess shot loads. Are the cushion wad and over powder wad (pictured) supposed to be stacked on one another? I was just going to use tow for over shot wad, but could I use one of these?

    Browning a barrel

    I'm doing my first flintlock pistol buld (old Pedersoli kit from the 70's or 80's) and I finished browning the barrel last night I used the Birchwood Casey Plum Brown (the barrel fit in the oven so I was able to do it warm) and after two passes, I was happy with the color. Following the...

    Help with Richland Arms PA Flintlock Pistol Kit.

    My sons gave me a Richland arms flintlock pistol kit for Father’s Day. It looks to me like it needs very little work other than some sanding as the whole kits fits together nicely. Granted, this is my first build ever so there's probably things I have to do but don't know how. In particular...

    french or english flints

    This thread is pretty long now so I don't know if I missed it but can someone recommend a good source (affordable in small order, not bulk) for English and/or French Amber flints? I go through flints quite often with reenactments and shoots at my club.

    It doesn't look like they carry a mold for .433 for my Long Rifle or .715 for my Bess unless I pay extra for custom. :confused:

    Most "historically accurate" ball molds, etc?

    Trying to put my kit together for throwing ball for my Bess and Rifle but want to stay as HC as possible. Any recommendations for vendors/makers who make ball molds, ladles, etc. that strive for historically authenticity?
