    HSM/Black Hills Ammo

    Oh contraire, mon ami. Some do care. I choose this site because it caters to the things I am interested in. When I go to a pre-1840 rendezvous, I choose to not be immersed in Trap Doors, cartridge guns, gas lights, cell phones, and other "modern" stuff. It's a choice of the environment I...

    How many of you dry your revolver in the oven?

    Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse with boiling water. Spray off water with compressor or hair dryer. Spray with WD40. Spray off excess WD40 with compressor or hair dryer. (used to use canned air, but it cools the metal, and I want it hot.) Reassemble, wipe, put away till next time. ADK...

    Weighing round balls

    My home cast round balls are always more consistent in roundness and weight than swaged factory balls. I cast 100 .440 round balls from a Lyman 4-cavity gang mold yesterday. I ran five pours (20 balls) that were immediately returned to the pot. Then I ran the 100 I needed. I discarded twelve...

    Advice for N-SSA carbine

    I shot the Parker Hale Musketoon and the Smith Carbine while skirmishing in the N-SSA. The Smith wins for speed, but the Parker Hale wins for accuracy. And only hits count. If you can shoot two extra rounds in three minutes, but you miss two of them, you have lost the speed advantage of the...

    Just bought my first flintlock. What do I need to take it out shooting, and what do I need to know to have a safe and enjoyable time.

    Welcome to the forum, and the dizzying world of flintlocks. Here is a club where I shot when I lived in NJ. https://www.shooting.org/ranges/new-jersey/gibbsboro/square-circle-sportsmen I was in the N-SSA and our team shot there. ADK Bigfoot

    Skychief Load Time line

    Olive oil is not likely to "dry out" in the bore. There is little air to cause oxidation or evaporation. If you leave a teaspoon of olive oil out on your counter, it will still be there in a week. ADK Bigfoot

    Changing Powder charges on woodswalk.

    The only load change I make for a woods walk is I use a .480 ball versus my usual .490 ball (50 cal.) Ease of loading, no need for a range rod, and more shots (12 or better) before I have to wipe. At the range, I use a tight .490/patch combination, use a short starter and a range rod, and I wipe...
