    conicals

    I bought a lee mold for a 200 grain 45 cal. conical (452 200 RF) with a wide flat nose. The bottom driving band will not enter the cylinder. I have decided to chuck it in my drill press and trim the driving band down to the shank so that I can seat it in the cylinder. I tried swaging down, but...

    Cap maker

    I found 2 tins of #11 caps. Almost had a spasm, $24+ per tin! I could have bought a cap maker for that price. Can you use roll caps with the Tap O Cap, rather then buying their priming compound?

    smooth rifle vs trade gun

    I have noticed people saying that the stocks on smooth rifles are not as well shaped as a trade gun for shooting small game, rabbits & birds. |Trade gun shooters have no trouble shooting their trade guns like a rifle. As I can only afford one gun this is why I chose a trade gun.

    PA fall turkey

    PA hunters check with the PA game commission about taking fall turkeys with a rifle of any kind. Just renewed my license today and reading from the Game digest pg 36 says centerfire and rimfire rifles are not permitted. Muzzleloading rifles are permitted, but the rules may change after this...

    Damascus barrel

    I have a Damascus 12 gauge breech loader barrel. I want to make a turkey gun out of it, since it is a full choke. I have a 7/8 x 14 bolt for the breech plug and the tap . Being it is not octagon to round, I am wondering if it is strong enough to withstand the pressures? It withstood black powder...

    router bits

    Cleaning

    Why do we go through so many processes to clean our firearms? I am not a historian nor do I study history as deeply as some. From what I have read most firearms were cleaned with tow and water, and some have lasted over 200 years.

    New England Fowler

    Looking to put together a New England Fowler. I have a barrel, lock, butt plate, and trigger guard from my early Virginia fowler. I was going to attempt to make a stock from a plank.
