    Are you discarding the first dozen or so? Maybe the mold hasn't heated up yet?

    Thank you! Just ordered one for my SMR project. Going to pair it with a P.I. Spence rear sight.

    What does the engraving on the lock say? I can’t make it out.

    Ever shoot a loading rod down range? You tell me........... I won't rat you out !

    One time. An original short barreled .37 caliber rifle. Launched into oblivion never to be found.

    T Phill was probably the maker of that piece. Thomas Phillips perhaps? Any pictures of the full gun? It could then possibly be identified as American or English. Many American gunmakers used English barrels.

    Very stuck minie ball, tried everything having to pull the breech plug

    @M. De Land The depth of the groove itself. The groove is deeper at the breech end than at the muzzle. It squeezes the bullet down on the way out the tube.

    My new smoothbore was a slobbered up mess after it's first day at the range!

    Charge, felt wad(s), bare ball, Overshot card. If it starts to get crusty, saturate the top felt wad with spit, and regulate there forth.

    I have found that using a dry felt wad or two (.125") as an overpowder wad works well for keeping the fouling scrubbed out. Also makes a decent gas check.
