    Balls shrinking!

    Howdy! I have noticed that when I carry my lead balls in a leather ball bag for a short time they shrink by like several ten thousandths of an inch! When I go to load them they fit very loose in the barrel. Have any of you experience this before and is there anyway to keep the balls from...

    Mink Oil Tallow from TOW

    Here is a tip you can make a patch lube similar to TOW mink tallow by warming and mixing 50% bee's wax and olive oil in a double boiler. Although it doesn't work as well in colder weather (below 10°F)

    Are preccusions as fun as flinters

    WOW! What state do you live in that requires a law abiding American citizen to get a 'freedom defying' PERMIT to own black powder? You could move to freedom and liberty loving state faster then you could get the permit! Just a thought...

    Accurizing the hook breach rifle.

    Howdy, I just glass bedded the entire barrel channel on my Lyman to ensure no barrel movement and repeat barrel key placement...worked for me...on a calm day I can get two inch minus groups at 100 yards. Good luck!

    Quick loaders

    Wow! Thanks for all the interesting responses! The reason I am looking at buying or making some "speed loaders" is not for a speedy second shot...but so I don't have to carry so much stuff when I am doing a stalk on a deer I want. It is easier to move around when all you have is your...

    Quick loaders

    Hello everyone! Well deer hunting is just around the corner and I have been doing some thinking... Do any of you use the 'cylinder type' of quick loaders to aid reloading your muzzleloader while hunting? If so what type or kind do you like? If yours are homemade explain or better yet post a...

    Some Scrim I've done

    how to apply paste lube to patches?

    Howdy Don, I cut my patch material I get from my local sewing store and cut it into a bunch of 1" by 18" strips using a wheel fabric cutter. When I make Stumpkiller's Moose Snot I pour it into some 6" diameter tins with lids for safe keeping. I then place the tins on the electric stove on LO...

    Beeswax

    :rotf: I bet it is because of globable warming or cooling as it was in the seventys! :rotf: Thank you for all the replies and research! I just got a call back from a local beekeeper that sells beeswax for $4.00 a pound! Take care! Nord

    How Large

    Good point! I take only what I need: most of the time it is just my small shooting bag, horn, belt knife, my fire kit, and a small bible...it pays off to travel light...the rest is just stuff I want, to make the 'experience'. Like a mould and some lead to cast some ball, wool blanket or some...

    Beeswax

    Hi everyone! I need some bulk (about 10 pounds) beeswax and was a wondering where you all get yours? The cheapest I have been able to find it for is $6.29 per pound...that counts shipping I thank you in advance :hatsoff: NORD

    .32 and .36 Caliber question.

    I use .300" Hornady lead buck shot for hunting rabbits and it works great...head shot every time! I just have to use .018" patch material instead of .015". When target work is at hand I use the Hornady .310" round ball and get sub 1" groups at 25 yards. Take care! :hatsoff: Nord
