    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Ran a box and half of .54s thru the woodsrunner today, 250ish rounds total so far. Finished and sighted it in a couple of days ago, managed to line up two pigs that afternoon. Stock fits me good, its an easy to put together kit, everything just works. Nice to have a flinter with a flat...

    Loading down for a .62 flinter

    65Grs of 2F seems to be a sweet spot in my .62 smoothbores and rifles. Started out the 120 gr route of the conventional wisdom of the day, then bought a .62 tradegun from Rob Miller, all of 5 pounds and change, he turned me on the less is more. That lighter charge is a lot more pleasant to shoot...

    SPECIAL SELECT MAPLE Kibler Kits Move quickly!!!

    Untold years of 1,000 hrs plus of overtime and here I am, an old man with enough time and funds to do what I want to do and that is collect and shoot muzzleloaders. Wish I was a little younger.

    Bullet moulds

    It's pretty easy to run through more than a pound of powder and a hundred or so roundballs in an afternoon of plinking. I can only justify that much shooting a couple of times a week if I mold my own balls. Besides, I kind of like casting them anyway. Part of the fun.

    Choosing a melting furnace.

    Lee pots work good and are a good value. Need a thermometer with it and you should be good to go. Much prefer the bottom pour.

    Cast a few round balls this afternoon, had big plans for a few more calibers but, my ambition subsided. Oh well.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Warmed up enough this afternoon to play with my .62 smoothrifle. Still have a couple of doe tags left, may take it hunting in the morning. It's steel plate worthy out to sixty long paces. That ought to do it.

    Do You Remove Your Barrel?

    Only time I remove a barrel is if it needs to be bent straight when sighting in a new one. Like to keep the sights in the middle of the flats. After that, leave it alone.

    Got away and spent a pleasant afternoon with my 1795. This one has a pretty good trigger and I managed to connect with the steel plates with regularity after I got my head in the game. Used .662s, .15 patches, a undetermined ratio of ballistal and water, kinda oily, with 70 gr. of 2F made for...

    accuracy

    I like a wet patch thick enough that it doesn't burn through, mostly so I can shoot multiple times with less powder accurately without having to swab the bore. Most of my smoothbores are just as accurate bare ball, but, you've got to put some fire behind that ball to get it to fly straight. I...

    Ran a little lead through the melting pot today, back on track with a few .60s again. They go fast when your plinking.
