Look what i got!!
Yeah tomorrow I'm lookin for ticking at .15 to .18 and my gun will do great I think. Making bore butter tomorrow with beeswax and olive oil. Tonight taught me not everything in the stores is better.😂 I'm super excited to work it all out. That's half the fun!- nwpahunter415

I hunt near Johnsonburg every once in a blue moon! I'm mighty close to all of that. This year will be the best year yet. Fingers crossed to fill all my tags! And the mother nature is volatile here. 60 degrees one day 2 degrees the next with 40 mph wind. 🤣- nwpahunter415

They are and they fit with my ball nicely. I'll post a really good video soon when I hit the range and show you some accuracy. I'll have it all tuned in around a week or twos time.- nwpahunter415

Well is seems you know me to well already! 😂 I plan on getting a complete traditional setup. The big thing I'm working on right now are powder horn and powder measure after I know what shoots perfect for me. This is truly all about having a blast shooting. Secondly all of this has to be...- nwpahunter415

They do seem oldish they fray easy and just not really lubed. Thank you for the advice! I plan on using bore fat and 100 percent cotton patches and cut my own.- nwpahunter415

The fouling was nasty ran about 5 spit patches to get looking okay. I took home hit with 5 patches of bore cleaner. Looks great. Nice and shiny. Got the pan and Frizzen cleaned up and the barrel oiled up. Excited to go shoot tomorrow just need to figure the patch thing out because I used my 100%...- nwpahunter415

They are Thompson center the only ones at the local shop and it doesn't tell you on the package which I think is dumb. But I don't mind tinkering and shooting different loads. I'll be updating until it's perfect!- nwpahunter415

Honestly they might work I'm just scared it's too tight couldn't get it started real easy so I just swapped patches and I shot once until I figure out what I'm gonna do about ball and patches. I got .490 ball I just think that pillow ticking is most likely gauged at .18ish so I either back my...- nwpahunter415

Well first shot was sort of a success. I didn't think those pillow ticking were too thick but they were very much so too thick shot with cotton patch a little lubed. Ignition is fast as hell with 3f so aslong as I take great care of touchhole and bore it will be perfect. This gun will be a deer...- nwpahunter415

Yeah I just got them because they were easily available I'm gonna build a traditional arsenal even if I have to suck the binky and buy a couple newer items to hold me over. I want to use boar fat for my lube in the near future and try to get 100 percent traditional or hand made stuff! Appreciate...- nwpahunter415

Pillow ticking prelubed. I just opened them for the first time and the smell like peppermint! That's kinda interesting and I might not have to trim after all- nwpahunter415

Well men couple more days for range report. I can't find a damn loading jag to save my life around my area that isn't 35 dollars. Gonna have to look around with local buddy's and see what I can't dig up! And all the big box stores are sold out till fall because there about money not customers lol.- nwpahunter415
