    The powder ran out first...

    After you shoot pigeons you have to squab the barrel to get it clean. :rolleyes:

    In hot water?

    I’ve been watching “Into The Wild Frontier” but I haven’t seen the episode yet where Colter, Bridger, Fitzpatrick and Manuel Lisa argue about hot or cold water for cleaning…should be a good one. :)

    Shot my Frontier caplock early this morning. Great outing, no wind and whacking steel from 50 to 130 yds off hand. Very accurate rifle. Rained last night, sure helped things around here. Shooting T7 3F, 50 grains with a .490 ball & .010 patch.

    Shot my Frontier flintlock early this morning, good time to get ahead of the heat of the day. Supposed to cool down next week and maybe rain. Got a few shots off, rang some steel. Shooting 3F Goex.

    That was a rabbit hat with a raccoon tail sewn into it. Took the tail off and cut up some old chap leather I had for the brim, heavy leather but pliable. Template was a baseball hat brim. Sewn with artificial sinew, it's not coming loose anytime soon. :) Instant mountain man hat...haha.

    Put a leather brim on a fur hat. Turned out not bad.

    Yup, wear and tear, weather, dirt, wood smoke, sweat and some greasy black powder and patch lube fingers will do the trick. :)

    I vote no beads. That bag will look better and better the more it ages just as it is. Nice one.

    In hot water?

    I sometimes clean at the range but if I don’t, I just take it home and clean. The first scrub with water gets most of the gunk out.

    In hot water?

    Yes room temp works best.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Did some gear and clothing repairs. Red flannel drop shoulder shirt needed some sewing, various buckskins needed some TLC. Nothing fancy, just functional.

    What do you carry your fire kit in?

    I have a few of these in various sizes. Good for "stuff". https://www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com/voyageur-tins.html

    Cleaning that little space at the bottom of the barrel

    I have 3 frontier rifles. 2 caplocks and a flinter. Clean properly with water, flush with alcohol and lube with Ballistol and you’ll never have any issues. No need to remove the barrel. I do run a .22 cal brush into the patent breech during cleaning and once your patch is clean you’re good to go.
