    Petrol bullet and patch lube, wax, building up

    At this moment, I tried a number of different patch lubes and actually they all worked well. - Spit - Olive oil + water - Ballistol + water Looking to try beeswax + olive oil. My question arises from the fact that I noticed that, after soap cleaning, after thorough drying, after the last...

    Home made bullet lube?

    I'll try your way, mixing warm liquids. My way was to put 1 part beeswax and one part olive oil in a glass jar, then in microwave (very low). Wax wasn't melting, so I put the closed jar in boiling water, it melted but once cooled the mixture was hard, very hard, quite like pure wax. Then I...

    Home made bullet lube?

    For "dose" I meant "part". But I am at 1 / 5 and it is still hardish, while it starts to smell like mayonnaise...

    Home made bullet lube?

    I'm giving a try to beeswax+oliveoil bullet lube. At this moment I am at 1 dose beeswax + 6 doses olive oil, but looks still too hard, altough it melts immediately in oil with the warmth of the hand. Not very usable, it seems me, unless to lube patches (maybe) I'd like to have a soft lube...

    Which One to Start??

    I have a Pedersoli, but not an Hawken. Spent a bundle of money on it but I love it. On the other hand, the guy who often shoots next to me at the range has an Investarm Hawken, which I think you could consider. It is less gloriously finished than mine gun, but it shoots very well at half the...

    Acceptable 100 yd groups

    I shoot seven and measure the best five. At this point i always seem to have at least one flyer, and my "group shooting" is usually made from a bench with rest at the very beginning or each session, so it includes the fowling shots. Couriosly, from the standing position i shoot more open...

    Wad size

    I haven't ever used a overpowder wad, but would like to try. Where I live, wads of 0.45 caliber are not available, it seems me, while I can easily find 0.44 felt wads. Do they work in my slightly larger barrel? Tb

    Size of paper patched bullet

    I have a Tryon match rifle, 0.45 caliber, twist rate 1:21 I am going to try various conic and minie bullets from 310 to 500 grains, all of Pedersoli production. Their caliber goes from 0.450 to 0.451. I'm wondering which bullets I should use with paper patching. Which caliber (any mould to...

    Pedersoli Tryon rifle

    I have a Tryon Match, brand new. My first ML. It was suggested to me by experienced shooters and altough I cannot compare it with anything else, I am deeply in love with it. Shoots admirable groups on the rest, a bit less in steady position, if the shooter am I . But I am getting better and...

    Hello from tonibaruch (Milan, Italy)

    Hello I am pretty much a newbie and am just breaking in my first muzzleloader rifle, a pedersoli tryon match 45 caliber. I must say that shooting it is the most amusing thing I have ever done with a rifle in my hands. I am looking to learn more or less everything.
