The Dry Ball isn't a new invention.

[Johnny Tremain]

Dryballing, what a concept. someday Ill have to try it. Have not bothered in the last 50 years of doing it.
Ive had folks try and make me forget, even had a gal open her vest to distract me. Nice try.

Dry ball?
You fellars hasn't shot with me lately.
I'm good for at least 1 dry ball almost every time I get out.
No problem...I just shoot 'em out & continue on....

This problem is why I have this inscription scratched into my powder horn: " Of all the lessons ye must recall, first the powder then the ball"
