    FF or FFFG in .54 GPR

    And if you don't mind, what was your powder charge using FF, and what was your charge using the FFF? I have been reading that you should lessen your FFF load by approximately 7-10% overall from the FF load.

    FF or FFFG in .54 GPR

    Great topic. I just recently acquired a 54 calibre New Englander and had been reading that FFF is good up to 50 calibre and FF is recommended on anything above 50. I too have a pound of FFF and was going to try that anyways. Thanks for sharing your results.

    Making Stumpys Moose Snot

    Ok. Update time. I just finished making a batch of moose snot wanna be. I took the recipe and slightly altered it and used extra virgin olive oil as I do not have castor available, and wanted to make it tonight. I did go out and buy cheesecloth and a strainer today as well as a stainless steel...

    Patch And Wad Questions

    You must know the stores around here. But I think that the look that I get when I pull out my digital calipers and start measuring is slightly better. :grin:

    Patch And Wad Questions

    Funny you mentioned the thread fraying and plugging up the machine. Just happened the other day. I found a piece of material that I cut into 3 strips and machine washed. It was indeed stringy after the process. The better half will be away tomorrow, so I will brave it and wash it in the kitchen...

    Patch And Wad Questions

    Ok. So, I went to the fabric store that had the ticking. They did indeed have some, but, it was all .005 - .008 thick! So, I went and found a 100% cotton twill that measured at .017" thick, so I bought that as well as a piece of something else that was .012" thick and 100% cotton to try out...

    Making Stumpys Moose Snot

    Well thanks for making me laugh. That was good, and it sounds like a lot of thought went into that and I appreciate it. But if i do read it correctly, a bug wing, leg, or antenna or two will be fine? It is not full, just like you said a couple of body parts and no complete bodies or such. Thanks...

    Making Stumpys Moose Snot

    Thank you. I wish our hobby shops still carried Sig fuel! They stopped a few years ago. I had recently inquired about getting castor oil in and was immediately shown a synthetic/castor blend at a mix of 80% synthetic to 20% castor. No interest to getting it in. I will be heading to Grand Forks...

    Making Stumpys Moose Snot

    Hi there yet again. So today I got lucky as I saw a sign of 'Honey For Sale'. So I pulled in and saw a younger gentleman and had asked if he happened to be a bee keeper. He told me that indeed he was. So, I proceeded to ask him if he happened to have any beeswax as well, and also if it was for...

    First Attempt At Moose Milk

    Yeah, welcome to Canada. That was the price at two craft stores locally. I have a wanted post up on local website to get the 2 ounces required. As much as i would love to make it, I can buy the TC stuff for the same price, and maybe cheaper by time I get the castor oil. I am also now looking at...

    As a first sidelock percussion rifle, I had not thought of it as such to possibly keep the cap on and attached. Just finally seeing it now.

    And again sorry, but can I add a drop of food coloring to this mix as well just so I may tell if it is saturated evenly on my patches? Thank you.

    First Attempt At Moose Milk

    Ok. So I just made a 1/4 batch of Stumpy's Moose Milk with castor, Murphys Oil Soap, witch hazel, isopropyl (99%), and bottled water. Here it is. I am glad I can at least try both out to see which I like, or at least I will have an option. Now to make the Moose Snot! Just cant justify the $30/lb...
