    What did you fill the bowl with? It doesn't match the finish on the rest of the head.

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    If the FAs were that accurate with just iron sights, why didn't anyone use them in NRA High power rifle matches? I use to participate in those matches in the 1990a and early 2000s. Only M14/M1As, some M1 Garands and a bunch of ARs were used, all match level rifles. I've owned a few top shelf...

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    At 100 yards off a bench with a BP muzzleloader? I'd have to see that to believe it. Thats some unbelieveable shooting, the stuff storied legends are made of. I don't believe even Boone or Crockett could shoot that good. Thats hard to do for an expert rifleman with an iron sight M14 match grade...

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    I understand that however when I buy a large piece of pillow ticking from a fabric store I always wash it first otherwise it's hard for the patch lube to absorb. Most mass produced fabric regardless of what it's made of has a coating or whatever is in the fabric when made that needs to be washed...

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    That great ! I think the barrel may have something to do with it and how wet the patch is too. I'm running a straight GM .45 cal barrel and Old Eynsford 3F, what are you running ?

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    Ya better git some before it's long gone. It's going for over double that price now. Make sure you shake it up before using it. You will not be disappointed and use it kinda wet. You will get as many as 18 shots with no swabbing the barrel. You won't get that kind of performance with many of the...

    The "Mongrel" my .45 cal flint longrifle and accoutrements

    No particular school but more of a Vernier style without the frills so I name her "The Mongrel". 42" straight GM barrel, Lg. Siler lock. Powder horn carved, stained and scrimmed, short ball starter is an elk antler and a piece of broken ram rod, powder measure is a piece of elk antler, stained...

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    Hoppes #9 Black Powder Solvent and Patch Lube , not to be confused with the standard Hoppes #9 solvent/cleaner. Pillow ticking, roundball .45 caliber. I've tried most of what's been posted here and the Hoppes #9 BP solvent /patch lube works the best for me. YMMV.

    SOLD Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken

    I was like that years ago, hardcore percussion cap shooter. I got hooked on rock locks and sold all my cap rifles. I have no regrets EXCEPT a rare CVA .58 caliber mountain rifle I sold, the two wedge type. Pretty rare in that caliber from what I've seen. That's the one I miss, the rest.......ahh.

    SOLD .54 Caliber Flint Longrifle

    That is a beautiful, well made and deadly accurate rifle to be sure. That's too nice to let go. If my wallet was a bit fatter..........:(

    Barrel browning

    Laurel Mountain Forge. I've used it on all of the rifles I have built over the years and as Darkgael posted it's enough for a couple of rifles. As posted preparation is the key to a nice finish, heed that advice.
