    Who can relate

    Looks like my bench. I organize and clean up when it is time to do some reloading or build another Kibler. 😄

    Solved the percussion cap issue.

    I would be interested in both #10 & #11. If you could make it so they could be used in a press, that would be great. I hate sitting there using a hammer. 😄

    .45 Caliber: Deer?

    I built a .45 cal. TC Hawken in 1982 amd took a buck at about 50 yds. It is adequate for TX deer at reasonable distances. Work up your load and practice, practice, practice.

    Lyman Rifle Accuracy

    Thank you so much for your comment about the rare 1" groups. I hunt with my Hawken style rifles and practice at 50 yds. My Bergmann shoots about 1" high at 50 yds and 4 " low at 100 yds with 85 grains of Shuetzen 2ff. I have a gong at 100 yds and practice shooting high from center and usually...

    Lyman Rifle Accuracy

    I have two GPRs in .50 caliber. One in flintlock. With my old eyes even with cataract surgery, I keep my shots 75 yds or less. Both rifles get good results for hunting. My .54 custom Hawken with a Green Mountain barrel gives me 3 inch groups at 50 yds with 85 grains of 2f powder. The barrel...

    Muzzleloader No Longer On Newstands

    I really like "Muzzleloader " magazine and like some on here don't fret about when it gets delivered as long as it keeps coming. I am also a hot rodder and aviation enthusiast. Two of my favorite magazines have gone away. Unfortunately, I had a 3 year subscriptions and got none of the...

    Drill Bits

    Totally agree about Drill Doctor. I have one that is over 20 years old. I use it until I get frustrated with it then go to the grinder wheel. I can regrind an average size drill bit pretty quick. I get it right most of the time. I use the Drill Doctor on the smaller drill bits. Maybe I...

    WANTED Do not to do business with kd8jgu. He will not pay you.

    As a true Texan, I have made many handshake deals over the years in business and only got burned once by an oil man out of Houston. Luckily, it was not a big amount of money. Handshake deals don't mean what they used to mean now days. There is a lot of larceny out there. Hopefully the...

    BEWARE EMAIL SCAM

    I got one of those PayPal email scams a week ago. I checked my PayPal account and there was nothing there. Be careful out there.

    Muzzleloading after Cataract Surgery

    That is good to know. I plan to ask my doctor on the 15th. Right now he won't even let me play golf. 😄 I am hoping that the sights and targets will clear up in the next few weeks. I am not a patient person as my wife keeps telling me.

    Muzzleloading after Cataract Surgery

    I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. So far the vision is improving as my eyes heal. The doctor tells me it may be several weeks before the vision settles in. I opted for the multifocal lenses hoping not to have to wear glasses at all except for very fine print. My question for...

    Oil finish on a stock.....

    On my curly maple stock, Iron nitrate with Tried and True Varnish oil. I finished my Kibler SMR in it. Thinned with turpentine and hand rubbed 4 coats. Works great. In the past on walnut, I used Tru Oil with good results but it stayed sticky for a while. It is what you are comfortable...
