    Magazine for Flinters?

    I think you'll find that of the two most popular magazines, Muzzle Blasts and Muzzleloader magazines, there will be occasional 'technical articles'. Both strive to offer articles of interest to the variety of interests associated with muzzleloading, with only a few technical articles appearing...

    flux in molten lead

    I use some small (1/4") pieces of beeswax; it will smoke some, but has the effect of bringing the dross (impurities and dirt) in the melted lead to the surface, making it easier to scoop them off and helps 'purify' your lead. I also think it helps the lead flow better from your ladle or from the...

    Added Sod Cloth flaps value?

    Considering the purchase of an RK Lodges 8'X8' primitive lean-to and would appreciate comments on the value of adding the 12' sod cloth flaps with the order. Are they worth the added protection from wind/rain? Thanks, in advance!

    Snugging up a Loose Wood Stopper?
