    candle cartridges

    I've been researching different loads for my .54 Virginia Smooth Rifle, and I've pretty much settled in on 80 grains FFFG under a .530 ball, no patch, which is rolled neatly into a paper cartridge. I'm wanting something similar for buckshot loads and came across an article describing Col...

    carrying a pepperbox pistol

    I, too, have recently acquired a pepperbox, and had the same question as you, how/what holster? I found photos on line of holsters formed to fit the pepperbox revolvers, which were used as secondary weapons during the early years of the civil war. I don't know of any samples that predate that...

    New frock pic

    Sara did my frock, and her husband, Bud made me a very nice moose shootin' bag. Accomplished artists, they are. I recommend them to all my shooting/hunting freinds.

    Howdy, y'all

    How-do Wind, and Welcome! :hatsoff: Does moving to the northwoods make you claustrophobic? Did me, for the first 6 months, after I'd moved up from the plains. Then it dawned on me, I couldn't see the horizon! Once that was figured out, I was OK.

    Flash Guards

    Please excuse my lack of knowledge in such matters, but must one buy a flash guard for his specific firearm, or are they universal? One size fits all? :hmm:

    Flintlocks Anonymous 12 Step Program

    Oh, I started out with cap'n'ball back in 76, just recently migrated to flint. The smell of burnt black powder is superior to that of grillin'. Usually they go hand in hand. It's just these folk have a way of pokin' fun at themselves, a harmless humor that is down home.

    Who started it for you?

    Always had an interest in things primitive, my Dad taught me how to shoot mordern firearms, but Dale McIntosh of Maxwell, Ia. introduced me to flinters. My first 2 rifles were .50 CVA percussion kits. Got myself a flinter now and am quite satisfied with the decision. Only wished I'd done it sooner.

    A bit on the defense are we? :rotf: I would not take any side of PC because I'm not educated enough - yet. Give me a few more years of reading you peoples input, then watch it! Having said that, I noted that you based your comments on personal preference, thought process and lack of...

    Civil War book, Attack & Die

    Lee and most all other Confederate leaders were excellent strategists, and realized that having the smaller forces and supplies, they needed to fight primarily from a defensive position. They chose the best positions as you pointed out in your list of battles. Most generally it requires at least...
