    RPM VS Velocity

    All this and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee most places but Starbucks.Having said that just what can I derive from this discussion that might have some practical application to shooting a muzzleloader?

    Solvent-only cleaning???

    I discussed wood preserving with an antique restorer and got a big laugh when I mentioned using oil based stuff.The best way to preserve wood is with wax preferably furniture wax, the harder the better.Floor wax will work but is softer.One drawback it takes a lot of elbow grease to make it...

    Recoil

    If you are young and can handle the 9and a half pounds go for the 54.If you are at an age where wt. becomes an issue a 40 is a great alternative.The heavier rifles properly balanced hold on the target better.

    Open display of BP for sale

    If all the laws that are on the books were enforced more of the country would be in jail than out.I think that using your head and keeping your mouth shut is the best policy.

    New cleaning mixture

    A small amount of dish detergent does help because it makes the water "wetter".I agree the universal ingredient in all the magic elixirs is water.Why pay for something you don't need.

    Burning patches suddenly

    While you are in the fabric shop getting patch material check out the roller cutters.Better still if your wife sews she may have one,then you need to buy replacement blades,be careful those things are sharp.You can cut patches very fast,square that is.Don't cut on a table top or counter top...

    Is it not cricket to have a Craftsman toolbox as a shooter's

    I use a wooden box because I could make it myself a lot cheaper than a store bought sustitute.I don't care what others carry.Problem is its heavy so I may step up to a Walmart bag,thanks for the idea.As for checking jeans brands,the only time I do that is when they are occupied by an attractive...

    TVM Custom build

    This reply is to no one in particular.Every time TVM products come up for discussion on any site the posters are either fiercly defensive or severely critical,fascinating to say the least.Me, if I can't hold it I ain't buying.There are a lot of good gunbuilders close by or Fort Bridger is only a...

    Dutch' s ratio 7:1 ???

    That stuff from mobil can be bought for $30 a gallon in gallon containers in case anyone is interested.I am not a Mechanical Engineer but it strikes me that anyone owning a machine shop with those computerized gismos that cost into the millions per copy is not going to use anything that could...

    Dutch' s ratio 7:1 ???

    I never have used Ballistol,its very overpriced mineral oil thats water soluble {added detergent}.I started to use Dutch's system when he was reccomending Napa water soluble oil.Since I have an aquaintance that owns a machine shop I asked him for some the stuff they spray all over the multi...

    Curious about Ballistol

    Water soluble oil,find a machine shop they buy that stuff in 50 gal drums,if you ask real nice they will likely give you some or at worst sell you enough for your purposes.An auto parts store will carry water pump lubricant that is nothing but water soluble oil.

    Cleaning patent breech?

    I got rid of all the "patent breeches"on my rifles so no problems,IMHO nock or patent breeches were a solution to a problem that did not exist.I am sure most all will disagree,so lay on Mc Duff.

    Cigars

    I have never smoked anything and I have not missed anything.Quoting statistics to justify a habit is a little off center since there are statisics that will give any answer you want.A visit to a cancer treatment center like Fred Hutchison in Seattle might change some viewpoints about...
