    Where are you guys finding Kasenit? It's like Unobtainium where I live, ever since they stopped making it years ago. I use a product called Cherry Red.

    CLOSED Holster for Uberti Colt Dragoon

    I believe the original photo is dated 1858: John "RIP" Ford. Those are Dragoons are they not?

    Smoothbore names

    The names I call my smoothbore depend greatly on how I am shooting that day.

    Smoothbore rate of twist?

    And I am NOT that someone. But as the ball bounced down the barrel it looks to me that it might have exited the muzzle at the top of a bounce or the bottom of a bounce and the escaping gases, under or above the ball respectively, caused a slight spin on the Y axis. It is still a slight spin...

    Your favorite “eating” game, and how you prepare it

    Roast brined duck. Make your brine with water, salt, sugar and star anise. Brine over night, pat dry and allow it to dry in the fridge. Roast in a hot oven. My oven will reach 500 degrees and that is what I start cooking at and then lower it to 450 degrees. The hot temperature will help to...

    Asking again. Best load for a .50 cal?

    Should you put in the time at the range I suggest, due to barrel harmonics, you will end up with two most accurate loads: one with a "heavy" powder charge and one with a "light."

    The g in ffg

    This post is a waste of my time really as Zonie and coloradoclyde have given the correct answer: g stands for glazed. Glaze is associated with glass or glassy. The polishing process during manufacture knocks of the corners and rounds off the powder grains giving them a shiny, glass like...

    Real Black Powder

    I find your statement that, "BP is much more corrosive than Pyrodex," interesting because my experience with both products shows the exact opposite.

    Fuse or not?

    At Ft. Vancouver, WA (on the site of the original HBC factory) there are two ships 18 pdrs facing the South gate. Each of them has an area around the touch hole that has been cut away to allow powder to collect when poured from the horn instead of it rolling off the sides of the tube. For...
