    .520 Ideal roundball mold on Fleabay

    I thought I'd pass along this heads up there is a .520 roundball mold made by Ideal with handles on Fleabay if anyone is looking for that size. The .520 is pretty rare and doesn't come up too often for sale. I already have a .520 mold so I thought others would appreciate knowing where there is...

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    Every time I prime to be sure the vent is clear and ready to accept the ignition from the pan. During the day if I haven't shot, I dump the prime, re-prime with fresh powder and pick the vent again. Ohio Rusty ><>

    How many caps do you use in a year ?

    One or two tins a year for my SxS 12 gauge shotgun. I let go of all my C&B revolvers years ago. Now that I got a Crockett .32 late last fall, I'm sure I will go thru a few this year enjoying that little rifle. Ohio Rusty ><>

    Skychief question

    Today I sanded down a dowel to use as a mandrel to make paper shot cups to fit my 28 gauge smoothbore for my Skychief loads I'm getting ready to test soon. That shot charge is 1 & 1/8th. I'm going to start with 75 grains of 2F and that charge weight of shot for a starter load to see how it...

    Kibler Rear Sight

    Although my flint gun isn't a Kibler, I found that with the changes to my aging eyes, A higher rear sight was helpful. Both the rear and front sight are tall, and I also opened up the slot in the rear sight really wide as having white space on both sides of the front sight when looking through...

    RWS CAPS-1075 PLUS

    I received an email this morning that Muzzle-Loaders.com has both the RWS 1075 and 1075 plus in stock. They require a signature for the hazmat delivery. If you are away and not home to sign for it, you may never get your delivery. I dislike the signature thing. Ohio Rusty ><> Muzzle-Loaders.com

    CLOSED 20 Gauge Shotgun Ammo - lead shot, buckshot, round balls, etc

    A 5/8's hole punch will punch out all the right size cards you need for your 20 gauge. If you are having trouble finding shot to try, you can always buy some inexpensive boxes of shotshells in the shot sizes you want to try. Most shells are already 1 ounce weight or 1 1/8th ounce weight so your...

    Skychief question

    I'm kinda anxious to try this Skychief load in my 28 gauge smoothbore. My brother has a bag of #5 shot and I'll get some of that to use for turkey season. I have a 9/16's punch that I punch out wads for my 28 gauge. I also have the fiber cushion wads and cards for my 12 gauge SxS. I'll punch out...

    Skychief question

    I have pretty much stopped using the thick over powder cards and just use the thin cards. The load procedure I do in my 12 gauge double is two thin cards over the powder, a lubed felt wad then another thin shot card over the lubed felt wad. the shot gets poured onto that, then one more thin shot...

    Gun Value

    I'd ask $1000 on any long rifle and let someone talk you down. There isn't a new rifle today that sells for less that $1000, pedersoli included. Even Ruger old army pistols are now $850 or $900. I remember when you could buy those all day long for $225. Ohio Rusty ><>

    Look what the postal rider brought

    Happy to have them. I hated to pay what I did for them through Powder valley but I did get free shipping if that is any consolation. I did try these RWS 1075 caps on my Crockett and they are still loose. They will stay on if pinched. I do have a new 6mm x 1 #11 spitfire nipple for the rifle...
