    WITHDRAWN 40 Caliber Flintlock Trade Gun built by Ted Kramer

    Freezer. I have a 40 built by this guy which I love. Unfortunately the stock broke ( still can't talk about it). If you can put me in touch with him I'd appreciate it. Maybe get him to build me another just like mine or a new build. Thanks John

    X-ray of a drowned Bess

    My experience exactly. Somewhere I heard or read that Americans loaded open end first and the French were taught to invert non buck n ball cartridges .

    Pedersoli Brown Bess

    Ballmoulds as rec9mmended is a great choice. I shoot a .735 on top of powder with wading on top . If I had to do it over I would have ordered a .737 or .738 mould to allow for the shrinkage at casting.

    Let's see how far down the Rabbit Hole this takes me....

    Beauty. 2 cents worth, I like to LIGHTLY sand the leading edge of the bolt. Lightly means 5 or 6 light passes on the corner edge. Then polish , I ise flits and a felt tip dremel. Just a new gun preventative medicine,keeps that scratch line from appearing on the cylinder. Takes 3 minutes.

    Sharps with loose powder

    Just shot loose powder yesterday I wouldn't fill the chamber with powder that seems like it would be way too much just use the same amount as in your tubes 40 to 50 grain range I'm currently working out a load for my 59 carbine 2f or 3F 40 to 50 grains etc etc.
