    Choice shooting rest

    when working up loads for accuracy on a new to me rifle or bullet change to an old rifle I like to take the shooter (me) out of the variables as much as possible by using not only a bench but a fixture/jig/rest/ whatever to steady up but more importantly reduce variables I find my Caldwell 7...

    A fix for my new 1858 Remmie

    Sold some stuff for a tidy profit so I treated me to an Uberti 1858 Remington 8" blue ..I really never read or thought about it but the projectile ram/plunger is set up for conical s for sure ... As a ball shooter the ram's sharp edges pretty well meet the lead ring shaved from the ball and...

    Influence with Pietta among us?

    As I contemplate the purchase of a Remington 1858 pattern .44 ..I just realized that from the start I ruled out Pietta simply because I don't want to comb America for #10 percussion caps or spend another $XX.XX dollars for a set of new nipples Now I have a few RWS 1075's that I read will fit but...

    Everyone but me and two others know about this!!

    The curse of not having other traditional ML shooters to learn from or ML events nearby ..you discover by accident things that work Cleaning fire channels between the chamber and drum is part of every rifle clean up for me and my faithful limp as a rag pipe cleaner has been my goto for this very...

    I am a sucker and RWS musket caps

    Well I was waiting for a prescription after eye surgery and just down the street is a pretty good LGS which does a better than fair job stocking reloading supplies as well as muzzle loading "stuff" The lady that runs it who I think is now disabled is a decent person and always has a smile .. So...

    That nipple thingabob ?

    So I occasionally look (and dream) at originals (BP rifles) and I see from time to time percussion rifles with a brass collar between the hammer and the nipple with the hammer down on the collar and a brass chain leading to the trigger guard (would that chain be noisy while still hunting?) .. I...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    So to not hijack another post about Pyrodex the question I have is this... I think it has been established that Pyrodex is at least as corrosive if not more so than black powder... Knowing this when I got back into traditional muzzle loading during the BP shortage the choice was Pyrodex or T7 I...

I don't mind at all pulling a barrel assembly out of the stock and drawing thru it mildly soaped water and neutralizing the bad parts of Black Powder ..or Pyrodex (if no black is available) ..and then...
