    What can we use after lead

    I'm going along with you on this one, Rebel and two-bellys. I'm all for a laugh and joking around, but the lead thing concerns me. Missouri just banned lead shot on all of it's named "Conservation Areas" for ALL hunting, not just waterfowl. Seems like these things happen not by leaps, but single...

    What do you think?

    :rotf: I guess I had it coming, Cody! Very clever. Actually my handle comes from railroading (boxcar roofs). But, now that we mentioned it, who has time to take care of such insignificant things as houses anyway? :winking: Leaky Roof

    What do you think?

    I think this is a very interesting topic! I don't know much about history or metallurgy, but I think people are people no matter when or where they live. Today, for example, some folks just simply take better care of thier things than others, such as houses, cars, and other items of everyday...

    Nipple Size?

    Right on, John! The Dixie catalog lists the Pedersoli Kentucky rifle as fitted with 1/4 x 28 nipple (#11 caps). My .32 Kentucky uses the same, but is also fairly new. I don't have any knowledge or experience with older Pedersoli rifles, so my post may not be worth much. I hope this helps, and I...

    Bison or other game steak seasoning

    In my area one of my favorite seasonings to gather for camp is wild chives. They are plentiful and useful for a wide range of meats and vegetables. Chop the tops just like green onions and sprinkle them on meat or fish while cooking, or as a topping for potatoes, etc. The flavor is usually...

    Duck & Dutch Oven

    I am not very fond of duck. When I was a kid at home my folks would clean local hunters' game for half the meat, and this included many ducks. My mom always soaked the ducks in salt water overnight in the ice box. Here is a basic recipe using traditional ingredients and a dutch oven. 1 duck...

    .36 cal CVA Bobcat Question

    Wolfram, just something for you to think about. The Lyman hunting sight set that is on the Deerstalker will fit the Bobcat. It is available from Dixie Gun Works, item EB1111 for $23.95. I bought my 76 year old dad the .36 Bobcat. Since he also has the .54 Deerstalker and his old eyes are used...

    Burying a dutch oven

    This method of dutch oven cooking is just like the modern CrockPot. The layer of dirt should be just thick enough that no smoke escapes. The coals under and on top of the dutch oven buried in the hole provides even heat, especially for meats such as roasts. It will simmer along for 6-8 hours...

    Cooking Coffee

    Mule Skinner, Many 18th century hunters and woodsmen carried green coffee beans and roasted them in a small skillet over the fire while the water in their boiler or small pot heated. When the beans reached the desired color they were then placed in a folded cloth etc. and pounded to produce...

    Pedersoli Kentucky Rifle Breech

    Davy Thank you for the help and information. I will give your suggestions for a brush and scraper a try. I have no ignition issues, I just don't feel like I am getting it as clean in there as I want it, and I was unsure about the diameter of the channel. I appreciate your reply. Leaky Roof

    Pedersoli Kentucky Rifle Breech

    Forgive me in advance, as I am afraid this has probably been discussed at some point, however I just can't find it using the search. It's starting to wear a computer dummy like me out! I have a Pedersoli Kentucky rifle in .32 caliber. I understand it has a narrow channel of something under...
