    What historical rifle would you most like to shoot?

    I would like to shoot an original Jacob Dickert rifle. It would be thrilling to hold a tangible piece of history from the Revolution.

    Naming your guns?

    I have named only a few with sentimental attachment. The maple stock longrifle is named “Sugar” and the new rifle is “Cherry” for obvious reason.

    Finishing questions

    I think you have a good plan. As Indy said, experiment before you commit to the entire stock. Aqua fortis is an acid. Some people like to neutralize the acid with baking soda in water. Others just flush thoroughly with water. If you do not have maple scraps to practice on, you can experiment in...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I took the Maple Lancaster out to the range today. First time in about a month. It was a glorious day in this corner of NC. Sunny, mild breeze and 70 degrees. This was from about 75 yards. Not too bad once I got the elevation dialed in.

    How a cannon barrel is made.

    That is very cool, but I do not think I could afford to feed it. What was the charge in the photo above?
  18. BillKilgore

    Powder charge. How much powder do you use.

    Let's see. 50 cal and 42" barrel, so.... ((.25 x .25) x 3.1416) x 41.5 subtracting 1/2" for the ball and patch. Just over 8 cubic inches of powder is my max load. Just kidding above. I have a 50 cal early Lancaster rifle with a 42" barrel. I shot 3 round groups using Schuetzen FFFg powder...
