    Map Powder Horn #34

    That's a beautiful horn. I see a bit of color was added :)

    Cleaning between rounds

    In the spirit of answering your question I offer my opinion. Part of the question about wiping depends on if you are hunting or target shooting. The VAST number of folks that claim they never wipe the barrel and anyone is a dingus if they do - are at the range and shooting relatively soon after...

    I waxed my Jaeger and apoligized to it. I purchased an unmentionable and carried an unmentionable this weekend.

    What gun do you save?

    The Jaeger has a sling, so my Jaeger and the English sporting rifle.

    Flintlock GPR failure to fire.

    If it fired reliability for a while - then stopped - I’m thinking you need to scrape the breach face and clean the chamber area well.

    It's greening up here. I was out and tried to get a couple of pics of my flintlocks with their bags. The horns are by none other than @PathfinderNC It's been a lot of fun putting this together.

    Stuck ball in a Thompson Center Hawken flint

    I haven’t dry balled in the field either. I went to the first organized shoot in 20 years a few days ago. I also hate to admit it but I dry balled twice in three days. Like you, I just used my screw in ball remover and pulled it out. If a fellow maintains his bore condition it isn’t a big deal...

    The struggle is real my friend.

    Best place to purchase possible bag

    @Brokennock Terminology is just something you have to address over and over kindly. I know when I first got here I didn’t know the difference between a possibles bag and a shot pouch. Someone brought it up and I learned. Outside of this forum in the general public people refer to them as...

    Flintlock range ettiquette

    One other point regarding the hot gasses ejected from the touch hole. You might rig up a flintlock shield. This is just a piece of board on a stand that you place to your right (assuming right handed) to stop any ejecta to the right. It can be as simple as an old yard sign/realtor sign on a...

    Went to an Organized shoot today and had a blast. I only dry balled once, lol.

    Ratio unmentionables to BP firearms?

    All I know is the 5 guns in the front of the gun safe that get shot the most - and mean the most to me - are all BP. (Some are BPCR)

    Loading all the gear I need to go to the Frost on the Cactus shoot tomorrow. This will be the first organized shoot I’ve attended in a long while. Looking for to it.

    Ok question on round balls

    @Flint62Smoothie I'm a science guy so I do understand the difference. I was just having a bit of fun - not many folks respond to a thread like this so eloquently...

    I love the way you said group size, lol

    Ok question on round balls

    My experience has been different that several posters. I see a real accuraccy improvement in well cast balls vs. swaged round balls. If you go through and sort the swaged balls by weight the variance is minimized. This could be a function of the size RB I'm using. My experience is based on...
