    Brass Butt-Plate Care

    I had a great weekend shooting however I was loading my rifle in an area with some gravel and picked up a number of surface scratches on the brass butt-plate. What is a good method to smooth these and restore that desirable finish. I know that I should have used a piece of wood or fabric...

    TOW Rifle Kit

    OK I have shot production percussion rifles for a while and thoroughly enjoy them. I recently started casting my own ball and cutting my own patches- on the bore- and have made several trips to Friendship (try explaining to your non-ML friends why you would spend vacation time there!). Now I...

    Electronic Scales?

    I have decided to begin weighing my round balls and so have been looking at the compact electronic reloading scales with most in the $110-130 range. Any experience or recommendations? I noticed one model from Cabelas that offers a greater capacity and more feature (AC as well as battery...

    Paper Patching

    Does anyone have a good reference(s) for the history and 'how to' of paper patching muzzle loading bullets? It seems that such a technique produced fine results for longer range conical shooting prior to its use in early cartridge guns. This would be another interesting aspect of the hobby to...

    Good Trajectory Program for XP?

    The Lee Shooter (yes by Lee Precision) although containing reloading manuals and projectile catalogs will do all the things you require (and many more) and will allow you to add listings for muzzle loaders. I believe its cost was about $15 from Cabela's and others.

    ML Care

    Is it asking too much of Wonder Lube/TC Bore Butter to be the all around (patch lube, cleaner, metal/wood preservative) gun care product it claims to be? I have used this as a patch lube as well as a small amount beneath the patch -like a grease cookie- when target shooting with excellent...

    What type of powder?

    In my .50cal Lyman Great Plains I use 60gr. Goex FFFg for target at 25 and 50 yds. with great accuracy and easy loading. For 100 yds or hunting loads I prefer 80-90gr. Goex FFg. My son has similar results in a CVA Youth Hunter. In this transitional caliber the question is do you need one or a...

    My neighbor and I are considering building rifle kits with our kids as a winter project. We have no experience with such but are at least average in ability to follow directions and are looking at several "beginner" kits. Are there any recommended resources (books/videos) which would be...
