    wisdom vs. experience... or, today I learned...

    True, wisdom is a display of the proper use of knowledge, but knowledge obtained from experience is more often than not the knowledge you gain just AFTER you really could have used it wisely for the first time.

    Went Hunting and Left my .54 loaded for 3 days

    I'd say your conclusion is likely correct. Wanna be careful not to abuse a .54 though, I hear they are being discontinued....🤣 https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/54-caliber-being-phased-out.156800/page-6#post-2227883

    Show us your range box!

    My mother gifted me this box about 45 years ago. Reproduction of a duck hunter's shell box but it has served well as a range box for my BP firearms

    Yep, I'm a sissy.

    If anyone at the range ever asked, you could always truthfully say that it keeps the butt plate from getting scratched up when you are loading.

    Uberti Remington 58 Engraved

    I picked one up when Midway USA had them on sale last year. I shoot mine.

    Legal calibers for hunting big game with a muzzleloader in California

    If you find advice on Women, in any delivery format, one should be very suspicious of any bullet point or sentence that does not begin with the word 'Don't'

    Back up pistol in same caliber?

    Wounds heal. Chicks dig scars. I have empirical knowledge that if you go into a bar busted up and bleeding, you can get free beer. I also have empirical knowledge that when you finally go to the ER after the bar closes, the nurse will not be amused and will energetically debride your wounds...

    Long Gun Case

    Obviously if air travel with said long gun is to be a regular occurrence, then a high priced solution might be worthwhile. Another alternative that would side-step commercial passenger flight regulations would be to box your gun securely and ship it (insured) to and from your destination via...

    Schuetzen powder?

    I get a kick out of people searching old threads and then responding to a question that was asked several years ago. That way, other people can see Zombies without the bother of searching for them.

    Balls backing out of the chambers

    With that load and a wad, the bullets were seated so that there was compression of the powder and wad. The force used to compress the loading would have been the same force pressing against the balls, and you may now have empirical evidence of any changes to dissimilar metal dimensions when...

    Never shoot twice! :ghostly:

    Powder?

    Try Maine Powder House. I just received my shipment of Swiss FFFg yesterday, ordered last Wednesday. The website might not show it in stock, but they just received a shipment from the supplier a couple of weeks back. The Maine Powder House thanks you for reaching out. I value each and...

    Brown Bess and ball/loading questions

    FWIW, if anyone is interested: TOTW is out of stock on the thick 11ga wads. Might try DGW - they had some the last time I ordered them

    Brown Bess and ball/loading questions

    You may want to do some research. I think you will find that you will be better off just using pure lead to cast your round balls.

    Brown Bess and ball/loading questions

    Buffalo Arms usually has a good selection of Lyman round ball molds. You might want to try the .735 RB that you bought and then perhaps try .715 or another size of purchased cast round balls before you pull the trigger on buying casting equipment. Casting boolets is a hobby unto it's own...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I ain't got time to wait for them to bleed to death. I like to blow them up good. Real good.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Supposed to warm a little above freezing in a few days, so I cast a couple dozen .735 round balls so I can kill a few milk jugs in the back pasture during the work shut-down. Do you have any idea what that would do to the cloned Mammoth population once word got out about just how freaking...

    So Re: cleaning - Does anyone use an ultrasonic for handgun cleaning?

    Be aware that the vibrations from the cleaner can lead to some finish / bluing damage if your parts are making direct contact with a metal basket or laying on the bottom of the cleaner. I cut a piece of a silicone baking mat to fit the bottom of the basket. Punched holes in it and secured it...
