    Smoked Fish Cheese

    For my cold smoke, I used a small home made stove connected with stove pipe, separating the heat and the smoker about 3'.

    Importance of Shot Placement vs Power

    Good topic.

    Smoked Fish Cheese

    You need to cold-smoke for cheese. I prefer it for fish, too. I do hot smoke on red meats.

    Who charcoal blues Fowler barrels

    Fire blue. I did this one with a torch, and consider myself lucky it came out so well.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I put in a bid on three stock blanks yesterday, a full stock, and a couple half stocks. One of the half stocks is inlet for unknown parts. Got all three for just under $30. I'll sell the ones I don't want, and should at least break even. The inlet stock has a butt plate on it, so I figure I'm...

    Hard, brittle, and fast PRB for more damage?

    Please educate me. Why are you using linotype for your bullets? There are cheaper ways to make your bullets harder.

    Grafs powder

    Most likely. That's why so many of us have different ways of doing things. What works in a warm damp climate usually doesn't work here in the cold dry west, and vice versa.

    Kibler Breach Plug

    The fewer guns a person has built, the more difficult they try to make a fix. Put some powder behind the ball and shoot it out. The puller is already broke, so no need to try to save it. You're not going to damage the bore. I've dry balled a few times over the past 50+ years of shooting these...

    Hard, brittle, and fast PRB for more damage?

    I've always used wheel weights for the deep penetration. Considering the diameter of a hunting round ball, consider them pre-expanded. If you make a wound channel through the lights under 1.5", the wound will bleed freely, to cleanse the wound. A wound over that diameter, the tissue contracts to...

    Grafs powder

    Probably climate related, but Schutzen/Grafs fouls less than GOEX for me.

    Who charcoal blues Fowler barrels

    You could do slow rust blue. Pretty simple, swab on, let oxidize a bit, then I use a stove pipe set in a pot of boiling water to steam, rather than boil. Never let true rust appear, always steam when you have just a light coat of oxidation.

    Flintlock accuracy and need help finding load

    Have someone else shoot it, some people don't shoot well from a bench.

    Hog, dog or frog, meat's meat!

    Removing Nickle Plating From Guns (of any period)

    We did one German guild gun. It is a reverse electrolysis process, using a certain chemical. Brownell's carries it. You could talk to their tech staff for info, and possibly get a recommendation of someone in your area to do the job. Probably cost prohibitive to set up for a single gun. I seem...

    Blanks Harvested for Black Powder

    I would not trust that powder in my guns.

    Still reading print media?

    Outdoor Life, Field and Stream and Sports Afield were all good 60 years ago. They suck now.

    Strap bag vs belt bag?

    This is my hunting gear. Powder, prime, measure, and balls. Fits in a plain ol' pocket.

    Ground hog recipe?

    Pretty much like turtle, simmer it, skim all the fats from the top of the water, drain, then cook however you like.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    There is enough wild flax growing in ditches I could have just went and collected some, but planting in a planter meant less bending over for me!

    Where to get flint for fire starting?

    You are in Kentucky, there is lots of flint and chert there .You don't need big chunks. Or a lot. Part of the fun of buckskinning is sourcing your own things from nature. Go for a walk with your fire steel, and check out any rock that looks like it may spark. I often end up with a pocket full...
