    Where to get BP?

    I know this is off subject but what is the shelf life of real BP in a sealed can? How long after opening a can will it last? I ask cause if I buy 3 or 4 lbs I don't want it to go bad before I let the smoke out. :wink: Paul

    Oops... Like I said I wasn't really thinking about making my own BP. :surrender: It's hard to pass body language and a grin over the web. I guessed I missed that in the forum rules. Sorry Claude!!! Won't happen again. Such as? Not being a smart a$$ just trying to learn. If I can get a look...

    1st time ML buyer w/ stupid questions

    I wasn't really thinking about making my own BP, I'm not into bathtub chem experiments that could hurt me. :grin: Lots of good advise. I was leaning towards a .54 cause (typical American thinking) bigger is better. :wink: I'll have to see if the T/C is still there. Maybe I can talk the owner...

    1st time ML buyer w/ stupid questions

    Hmmm... thought it MIGHT be a little dangerous but didn't know it would be illegal. :wink: I had decided on a Cap lock so that's one thing down. I fired a Flint lock ONCE a long time ago and that is the extent of my experience with BP. All my friends hunt with modern rifles (as I mostly do) or...

    Thanks GoodCheer. I'd like to do this right without wasting alot of money in the process. I thought of another question, what about minnie balls? Will they stabilize in a 1:48 barrel? As you can tell I know next to nothing about BP shooting but am trying to learn. Paul

Hunted everything from birds to deer including varmints and haven't really stopped since. Now middle aged and still trying to...

    1st time ML buyer w/ stupid questions

    I am interested in getting started in ML and have looked at several different rifles and just don't like the looks of the guns available at Wally World, or to honest ANY of the composite stock things no matter which end you load them from. I keep coming back to the Hawken style rifles as my...
