    That was a nicely done video. If a few more of the YT creators could get involved and make a few videos like yours, there is no doubt we would be able to up participation, and new members alike. Nice job.

    Ignition plus stuck ball puzzle

    Just a guess...Maybe a dryball that got caught on a heavy crud ring, making it appear to be fully seated on a charge, but really sitting on nothing.

    Staining and Finishing Time

    You're apparently getting the hang of this. As usual, very nice work indeed.

    Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading Fowler Kit

    I have one signed by Matt Avance in ,62 cal. I believe it has a Large Siler lock. I have found it to be quite reliable, and it throws good patterns. However, the stock configuration tends to slap me in the face a bit. It's quite consistent with ball loads as well. Overall, I find it to be a very...

    Nice, you seem to have lost nothing by going to a .480 ball. Ease of loading alone makes it worth a try. Nice shooting.

    .45 Cherokee load

    I would say probably good enough. Too much recoil can crack the stock behind the lock area, and 70g should give enough for75- 100yd deer. I have a .45 Seneca, and shoot 60g in it with a maxiball with good results. Those stocks are hard to find if you need a replacement.

    TC 56 smoothbore

    I have used .535 and a thick patch, but Tc, and Lyman both made a .550 roundball mold specifically for the .56 Renegade. They show up from time to time, but are usually pricy.

    What should my first one be?

    Well, probably percussion to start. I would suggest looking for a decent used CVA or Traditions gun to start. If you can find a decent Thompson center Hawken or Renegade for cheap, that would be better. I have bought a few for under $150 locally, however, they typically go for much more if folks...

    Challenge for the weekend....

    I always figured they were good enough to eat. I would be making Jack Rabbit pot pie if they were in these parts. Good job on the posts with that pistol too.

    Challenge for the weekend....

    Very cool, thanks for sharing. Are the Jacks any good to eat? I'm a big fan of cottontails, but no Jacks around here.

    SOLD Guns of The West cartridge maker

    Hi, have a set of cartridge makers and 5 packs of rolling papers for sale. Includes .44, .44 Walker, .36, and .31 pocket sizes. Works good, have used the .44 walker former only, just doesn't fit my shooting style. I have a good loading stand, and find I use that at the bench, and never need to...

    Black powder shortage

    A little research will prove the safety,effectiveness, and consistency of homemade powder. Until stump remover or bulk potassium nitrate dissapear, no worries.

    difference in rusting rate - goex vs pyrodex

    I have bought a few "put away dirty" Guns expecting a trashed bore. I had 3 that were fired with real black that sat for years without cleaning. No pitting at all after cleaning. I also loaned one out that came back dirty. A little soap and water, and good as new. It sat for around a month after...

    Rooster down at dawn.

    Great read right there! Thanks. We used to have them in pretty thick in Ohio when my Dad was young. Not so much now, a combination of high coon population, and protected Red Tail Hawks sitting in every dead tree. Two things that were in low numbers when Dad was a kid.

    Buying a kibler colonial. 54 or 58?

    Currently putting my .58 colonial together. I agonized over .58 or .54. So far with all the parts assembled,but not yet finished, I can say the balance of the .58 is amazing. Glad I chose it.
