    Grease to force out bore obstruction - LONG

    Your air pressure at max doesn't come close to what a CO2 cart puts out. A CO2 cart at room temperature with liquid still in it puts out about 850 PSI. http://wess.freeshell.org/mlf/co2pv.gif I think the ultimate in a CO2 discharger would be one of those bottles the paint ballers use instead...

    Your First Muzzleloader?

    I remember my first muzzleloader. Uncle made it for himself years ago and ended up parting with it. The rifle passed through a couple hands and a guy at work asked me if I was interested in a 'heirloom'. Well, I took one look at it and I knew that that was the rifle my uncle built. So some...

    Pyrodex Cadillic Mi

    I was at wallyworld today shoping and noticed they were clearing out their pyrodex rs at 11.00 a can. I don't use the stuff since I've switched to black. Thought I'd mention it for those that live near Cadillac and shoot pyrodex. Clutch

    pouring round balls

    The weight will vary do to a variety of reasons. One of which is the diameter of your mould. A mold of a claimed diameter may not be just that due to manufacturing tolerances. The important thing is that you cast balls that don't vary much since a lot of variation would indicate voids in the...

    Google Books - Good reading

    I notice some you can download the pdf and others you can't. Why some and not others? It would seem copyright has laps on most of these. Clutch

    Ball Bearings???

    Lead has higher density. Waterfowlers forced to give up lead either use steel which doesn't work so great due to density or pay big buck$ for bismuth shot. I'd file this under bad ideas. Clutch

    I did a bad, bad thing. Need help.

    Didn't see your solved post before I replied. There are three kinds of shooters. Those that have screwed up, those that will, and those that keep doing it over again. :redface: Clutch

    I did a bad, bad thing. Need help.

    The greasegun suggestion is the one to go with. It puts out way more pressure than a CO2 discharger. If you go around to real autoparts stores, you should be able to find a needle greaser. There are two types, one which looks like a syringe needle and the other that is used to stick directly...

    Confused about cleaning and leaving charge in gun

    Decaping and leaving it loaded is how I do it. I recap each time out. If I fire it, I clean it. At the end of the season, I fire it to empty it and also to let me know if it would have worked if I needed it. Clutch

    Conicals ina smoothy

    I don't think it will work at all. Conicals need spin which is imparted by rifling to be stable. Better stick to a round ball. If you have a hankering to try this out. Start at close ranges to a berm and move back progressively. Depending on where you shoot and what is behind it, a shot...

    Range Rod

    I'm not PC so I use a dewey cleaning rod with accessories I turned at work on my lunch breaks. Lucky for me I bought a rod long enough years ago that can make it to the bottom of a 36" barrel. Clutch
