    Showing off a little.

    That is pretty. Wait till that wood ages a bit. It will be even more striking! You can help it along if you put it in the sun for awhile. Just keep it on a table in a sunny window this winter, then you can admire it every day!

    Experiments with paper cartridges

    Was just at Scheels in Appleton for the black friday deals, and they had 451 454 And 457. No caps but they sometimes keep in back and you need to ask.

    I think we were discussing a patch that fits on top of the ball, like a wonder wad? similar to grease over the ball?

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys! "Pyrodex is fine. I prefer the "P" grade. I find 22-25 gns provides very good accuracy and punch. #10s is the fit. The .454 ball will get you a nice ring of lead when rammed. I suggest to over lube the ball. I've used an 80% hard wax to 20% veggie oil melted...

    Thanks for the welcome all. the items I'm having problems with are percussion caps and .454 round ball. found powder (Pyrodex) . I saw a kit to make your own primers, but to be honest, it scares me a bit!

    Hi all, New guy from the Midwest just getting into Black powder.had the itch for a long time, looks like my timing might be off a bit! finally found a nice 1858 Pietta. these new guns are very high quality. I'm fine on cartridges for my modern guns but I had no idea B.P. supplies were so scarce.
