    WANTED All the lead seems to have disappeared :(

    The cost is $0.10 to $0.15 for an absolutely perfectly swedged round ball which I can purchase for my 45 50 and 54. On a trail walk of 30 shots it may cost me $3.50. Compared to the cost of the gun, gas, registration the $3.50 is nothing. Why should I spend my valuable time making imperfect...

    WANTED Tow

    Tow and/or grease patches can start fires. At Little Butt Mountain Men rendezvous they lost the use of the property shortly after a tow caused fire. At the shooters meeting everyone was told not to use any. But some just don’t care. On a range it may be acceptable but definitely not on a trail walk.

    Cleetus...a "Flint-cussion" gun?

    The pan powder is fired with the flint the percs nipple hole goes directly through to the main charge. There is a sliding cover over the pan powder for percs. Doc,

    Double barrel shotgun

    11Bravo., The answer to your question is unknown to me. Other than to say I have 3 early English SxS . One is a 11ga and two are 13. Why, is something we may never find out for sure. If someone really knows the answer I would truly I like to know. Doc,

    Can you get 3 aimed shots a minute?

    No Answers, out west we have Fort Shoots at every rendezvous for over 30 years that I know of. Also we have BP silhouette shoots at various ranges every month for another 30 years. There has never been a problem. The only problem exists for shooting blanks such as these re-enactments back east...

    Double barrel shotgun

    Feltwad, It happens I’ve got a couple of doubles that for some reason NEED a 1/5 in. fiber wad, because without it the center of my becomes almost empty. No idea why but it happens. Doc,

    Double barrel shotgun

    Trans Yank, Unfortunately there’s never a perfect answer. A 11ga 12 and a 13 I have needs a thick card 1/5 in fiber wad and then a thin card. My other 5 I use Ox Yoke wonder wads. Two over powder and one over shot. Makes for easier and faster reloading. Pattern your gun and find out what it...

    Double barrel shotgun

    Trans Yank, Yes, 65 gr of 3F and 1 1/8 is basically a square load ,but I use it because I get a great pattern with it. The same with my pheasant load of 90 gr and 1 1/4. Another reason is because I can get a higher velocity with 3F. Therefore a greater chance of a hit. Doc,

    Double barrel shotgun

    My wife and I have quite a few Damascus doubles in 11 and 13 ga. For them we purchased 11 and 13 ga. components from “The Gun Works” in Springfield Or. As for our loads in all of them we use 3F for clays 65gr. and 1 1/8 of 8. For pheasant 90 gr of 3F and 1 1/4 of 8 Bismuth since we live in Ca...

    Can you get 3 aimed shots a minute?

    At rendezvous out west many of us have learned to shoot 3 aimed per ,minute, shooting out of our bag. Most rendezvous have a Fort Shoot with 25/35 knock down steel targets with a 3/4 man team. It’s not really that hard. Doc,

    Guesstimate my muzzle velocity?

    Vane, I’ll agree with you paper and can get very boring. Myself and a few others with enough properties have put up swinging steel targets at very challenging distances. To see and hear the clang is a hundred times better. Now I seldom go to paper, but do hit various rendezvous which have...

    What would it take for the NMLRA to become a true "national" organization?

    For a 501C to violate Robert Rules of Order which the BOD did. The State can apparently rescind they’re tax exempt status if they are notified and wish to do so. Doc

    What would it take for the NMLRA to become a true "national" organization?

    Captain Vane Those embezzling crooks gave a $5.000 grant for renew/rebuilt our berms someone else $3,000 for better entry site work. Also reduced insurance rates help many BP clubs. All of this including protecting my unmentionable rights. Doc,

    What would it take for the NMLRA to become a true "national" organization?

    Don’t know much about NMLRA, other than we tried to get a rep to come to a club meeting for a few years but finally gave up. He never came. Live up here in far Northern California-South Or. area, my wife and I have gone to 15 local rendezvous a year of 150+ shooters. I do know the NMLRA had a...

    WANTED TC Patriot .36 cal.

    Have unfired 36 TC barrel only. I’m out west where we have swinging steel targets so a 36 doesn’t do much good Doc,

    Co2 unloaders

    I’ve used CO2 cartridges for years. Walk the trails at various Rhondys and usually have to use it at leas once. One cartridge work for about three dry balls. Had one time it didn’t work. It was a complete double very tight load. It comes ready to use for a perc. but a flint adapter can be...

    Wad punch / drill

    A very big problem with pillow ticking, it only comes in one size and the material has a loose weave. Bridgers Best has a tighter weave and multiple sizes at less than $4. a hundred. My Patriot likes .015, my wife’s Patriot wants.010. My .62 tradegun .020. And the TC .50 shoot’s with.015. So for...
