    NEBRASKAN'S ROLL CALL!

    I now belong to ENGC out by Louisville, have for several years now. My old bp club folded after we lost our range when the benefactor passed. Nice thing about ENGC is I can shoot all my rifles.

    NEBRASKAN'S ROLL CALL!

    Lyman percussion locks?

    I’m about to start inletting a replacement L&R for on old model GPR. I contacted L&R and asked for schematics, which they sent along with the comment that if I ran into an issue, to feel free to give them a call. FYI, I bought the lock for a GPR that I had to sell about 15 years ago. Rather...

    How to prep stock.

    When I was hot and heavy into building before my divorce and subsequent remarriage 20 years ago, I gave up sandpaper for my scraper, and burnished with a deer antler. Used denatured alcohol to raise grain. No water as it swells the fibers. That said, where could I find another scraper and...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Bought a GPR from a fellow member, who bought it from a previous member. Sent the barrel off to Log Cabin Shop to clean up a dovetail fill that the prev-prev owner didn’t do all that well. The new dovetail was smaller and deeper than a normal sight, so they’re working their magic. Did initial...

    Thoughts on Percussion Caps

    20+ years ago I had a friend on TMMH tell me about Hot Shot nipples. During that time Nebraska winters were fairly wet and standard #11’s with a regular nipple resulted in a LOT of educated deer. Hot shot made a huge difference, and when I switched to CCI #11 magnums, all problems went away...

    1983 “Rescued” Lyman GPR .54

    I saw that and I’m in the process of refinishing a .50 I bought off a fellow board member. I had one I had to sell about 15 years ago to help my son with legal troubles. (‘‘Twas worth it. He’s a Marine and has since triple majored). I was going to stop at browning the furniture (after Log Cabin...

    Cornbread?

    White or yellow corn meal. Just depends on my mood at the time if I add a touch of honey or not. When it’s with meat that’s BBQ sauced, usually forego the honey. But I want it warm to melt the butter.

    Hunting with the GPR

    Shooting season is like grilling season. 365 days a year (ish…minus birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays that call for meat (smoked, grilled, or roasted). Although…smoking large cuts of meat DO allow time for both😇.)

    Black powder

    I’ve shot Triple 7 for a couple of decades, switched after the only gunshop with BP within 100 miles closed. Bill Knight got me started on Elephant 20+ years ago. I believe Swiss was next on the list, but Elephant was available and only 15 miles away, and a bit less expensive. When my radiation...
