    First kill with a flintlock

    Man Yeah! Thats gettin it done! Great job! After 40 years of airguns I finally moved over to BP a couple of years ago for the increased challenge. You will find that a LOT of your AG experience will cross over to BP. And there are years of experience here to learn from! Welcome to the brotherhood!

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I almost exclusively hunt tree rats with air guns. When I use BP it's a light load in my .45 KY rifle with PRB. But, I also make sure there is a backstop. I hope to have a BP scatter gun one day. For calls, I usually just imitate a chatter with my mouth similar to a raccoon. Or, make a kissing...

    How hard is it to make caps?

    I have a collection of them. I tap them through my drilled aluminum plate that I use to downsize my homemade caps from #11 to #10 to reform them. Then use them for my revolver.

    1:44 twist 50 cal and lead conicals

    I'm far from an expert on ML. But after 2 years of trial and error, I am of the opinion that my 1:44 twist 50s are better with a shorter (lighter) projectile. I even used this info to find a conical for my 1:66 twist Kentucky rifle. The bullet is about .46 in length and .452 in diameter...

    How hard is it to make caps?

    I do the same compressing the dry compound. I just use a drop of alcohol after and it sets fine. Still shooting caps I made last fall, and I've hauled them back and forth to my range and out to my brothers lots of times. I would recommend wearing a thin leather glove while compressing tho. If...

    How hard is it to make caps?

    On that note, here is a tip... A lot of times I can't find what I'm looking for by using the search function. So, I go to Google and type in the search. Usually toward the top of the results list you will find this forum with the discussions listed below it!

    How hard is it to make caps?

    I can say it's dirty, for sure. But, once you get you process down, you can produce around 100 caps in an hour with a 95-100% fire rate. I haven't had one fail in over a year. Also, there is little difference in the #11 and #10 kits. Both are interchangeable with my guns. So I would recommend...

    Rookie Woodsrunner build

    Mark, that is a beautiful rifle! You did a great job! I'm just the opposite. I'm learning to shoot. Then will work on a build. This past September we held the 1st NW Alabama Meet n Greet. It's not a rondy or shooting match. It's just a chance to connect and learn. We decided we had so much fun...

    what size ball to use (exactly)

    I shoot a Pietta 1858. I mold .454 RB and .452 Lee R.E.A.L. for my conicals.
