    Renegade for elk hunting

    Please find out these facts ..find out the caliber minimums in the state in which you hope to hunt ..it's been awhile since I looked but several western states minimum was .54 ..so if you really are working toward an elk hunt gun might as well do the work on a front suffer that is legal Good...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    To address those I have confused T7 3F is the goto grade of Triple Seven for ME all calibers and here is why It works for ME.. (remember I reduce 6 to 8% volume to volume when I sub T7 for BP) Think first in black powder .. Chemically it is limited to peaking at a relatively low pressure (as is...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    Nothing to retract really ..we all get catawhompus from time to time just like initially I wrote 2F all the while thinking 3F.. You wouldn't of liked winning as I am a sore loser and generally pay my losses with bags of pennies Bear

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    I know T7 has ignition problems in some guns .. no question.. but I cannot find where 3F was the grade used and not 2F If your experience was with 3F then you are the first for sure to document it I am on the fringe of black powder shooters .. no body to split shipments with .. there is no BP on...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    Correction in one number and that is read the above but replace 2F with 3F as that is all I buy and use it from .31 Colt thru .58 Musketoon I don't have a flinter but I would love to see a experiencde member do a work up with Triple Seven 3F in a flinter ..my money is on it will reliably go bang...

    WANTED .58 cal minie ball mold

    Looking for thin skirt hollow base minie ball mold in .58 cal that casts .580 diameter or there about that I can size to .579 Thanks Bear
  15. Brokenbear

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    I highly recommend when using Triple Seven to only buy the 2F .. I suspect some of the rifle shooters with ignition problems used 3F which has far fewer small grains.. just back the T7 2F down 6 to 8% by volume depending on rifle or pistol AND where you are on the power scale ..an 1860 Colt 20gr...

    Crisco over the chambers, pros and cons

    Hope accuracy is good enough for hunting deer

    3F Triple Seven is fine for what you are trying to do as opposed to 2F T7 Me using 3F T7 w/ paper cartridges and home made percussion caps with 2 dots from toy cap gun caps as the flash compound lights the 3F EVERY TIME and that’s powder encased in paper for Pete’s sake To change from 2 to 3F...

    That nipple thingabob ?

    Ok now back on track here gentlemen …I did find a shop who listed them as “CW Enfield Nipple Protector” (S&S Firearms of NY) The seller felt it should fit any thing with a musket cap nipple Seller did not think it should be placed on a nipple with a cap in place (never the plan on my part but...
