    Thimbles under T/C Hawken barrel

    Yes, what Tenring said, and a bit of well placed heat from a torch before you drop the Kroil helps too!

    Convert ANY flintlock to percussion for $60 …

    It might come handy in the Zombie Apocalypse! I mean, who’s has time to dig for rocks when the hoards are approaching!! Appears to be a solution begging for a problem!!

    Pyrodex?

    Hard to argue with either point! Shot for a few years in a gun club next to the ocean, Pyro only, a 100 RBs every Saturday, 45 min drive to the house. By the time I got home my ROA,s looked really scary. Very long Saturdays, IPAs helped, for sure, and recheck and reclean on Wednesdays. Swiss is...

    Pyrodex?

    No worries, they call me sand paper at work for a reason, a bit abrasive!! LOL, but on a serious note, I have shot dozens of pounds of Pyrodex, lived in a place where BP was illegal and Pyro kept me shooting (close to 4,000 balls a year). But if you can come up with a little more money and by a...

    Pyrodex?

    Jeez sorry my apologies, didn’t mean to offend!! Sounds like you are pretty sure of what to do, just do it and don’t be asking for silly opinions like mine!!

    Pyrodex?

    Cutting large chunks of lead

    Bruce, methods are many and vary, and everyone has access to different tools, what tools do you actually have access to???

    Bullet moulds

    Nope, don’t even try Mr Stark, it’s futile!

    Ruger old army loads

    Like these ones? Yup, it was me. I have done a lot of testing with the ROA,s i am not a ballistician but test as scientifically as possible. These wads stuck to the ball all the way to impact and remained attached even after impact. Horrible flyers that took me over a 100 caps to figure out! But...

    Ruger old army loads

    See post #44. Not bubba-sized. Balls are .457 and up. I will bet on the nipples!

    Ruger old army loads

    I will bet ya the nipples are worn out!! Replace them with slixshots for $36 and your works will amazingly shrink in half! Be careful removing the old one is this the case, once your strip the useless hex on them you are in for a ride. If you have to, soak them in Kroil overnight and heat them...

    Simple question…..

    … and for those who wonder why shoot or hunt in the rain or snow, I work like a dog to make ends meet, when I get to shoot or hunt, it’s time to do so, no wiggle room to choose the the perfect weather conditions, May be when I retire I will get picky!!
  14. Mogadishu Meanderer

    Simple question…..

    I hunt in northern MN close to the Superior shoreline where drippy snow is normal and temps in are in from -20 to 30 in a given day, I seal the pan with my own lube ( beeswax, mutton tallow and coco oil). Never had a misfire but I have never shot anything with my FL yet, being a buck only...

    Simple question…..

    Do you know what he yelled after ."aye I am so sick of missing Ducks and wet pans"....??? Well, he said “I must do better” and tarraaah…the percussion cap was born!!! (Or so history claims as there were a couple of stillborns in France and the US I believe!)

    Simple question…..

    At least the question was ML legit… there is on thread working into the 4th page about how to bait a mouse!!!! About how to bait a mouse for crying out loud!!! Love it!!!🤣

    Weather

    Did you use a spit patched RB or conical??🤣
  18. Mogadishu Meanderer

    I found a sweet (modern) powder and ball holder for hunting.

    This is one of those posts where something astray, unintentional, innocent, steals the whole message, kinda like the post of Kamala Harris picture wishing people a Happy Thanksgiving while hugging her husband in front of a gas stove while pushing to ban them for you and me!!! And then…. The BiC...

    I found a sweet (modern) powder and ball holder for hunting.

    Definitely a neat idea. Also, be aware if it’s used for meds that certain pills can react with metals! Ted Cash pill/cap tins made out of brass and copper do have a disclaimer label inside, a la California Prop 65!

    Two vent holes?? Whats up here?

    I don’t think is a gimmick, it’s just….. Berdan “primed”!!!!🤣
