    Colt 1851 Navy—120 yards?

    Here you go @StoryWriter85 ....I tried it. 6 shots at 121yards. Only had six cartridges. Now that I know the sight picture, I believe that this would become an easy shot with a little practice. Conicals seem to make the 36cal's way better at long range. 6th shot at 121 Yards, Kneeling 36cal...

    Shooting to the left

    I would leave the front sight in the center and modify that rear peep sight. Nice target!

    Kibler Gap Question

    If you don't file a couple thousands clearance at the end of the Tang on the Kolonial, it'll chip out the stock when using heavy recoil loads.. don't ask me how I know.

    Thank you Jim(!), I knew that you'd stand behind the lock. But it causes me no grief as long as I extend the top jaw pad at a little. My post wasn't to log a complaint, it was to share an idea to possibly help the OP figure out the cause to his broken Flints , and for him to be able to get a...

    Rebounding frizzen on my Kolonial will break every flint within 3 strikes. Solution is to extend the top portion of jaw leather out onto the flint slightly. This cushions the rebound so that the frizzen heel no longer breaks the Flints.

    .32 caliber frustrations with not grouping.

    Your vent is too big.. 20gr will fire the ball from my 58cal And 3 shots is not a group. 5 shots is a trend,...10 shots is a group. Many 3-shot folks would be quite surprised to find out that their "accurate" load it's not as accurate as they think... 10 shots will often result in multiple groups.

    Burned!

    There's at least one username monitored by multiple pawn-shop employees!. I know because one's here in Montana. Not a single pawn shop in Montana will give you over a $100 bill for ANY muzzleloader.. Then they'll peddle their $75 pawns here. Pretty much if it's a Ramblin Russian Warrior...

    Average Group

    All who are members here should make an effort to shoot our monthly forum match occasionally. It will hone your skills and is a lot of fun. I shoot monthly with a mountain man club here in Montana. All offhand shooting at steel shapes. "Very few" folks hit 12" plates at 100yds! But 6" plates...

    Just Why Do i Do This?

    How far away was your plank target? Does it have to be a smooth bore without a rear sight? Or can you use a period replica rifle like a Kolonial? Your pictures of the fort wall look awesome!.... love the cannon ports located between all the rifle slots.

    Are big bore short barrels more efficient than smaller bore short barrels?

    Larger diameter bores are more efficient at producing energy from a given powder charge. Velocity only being "one" of the components to energy. This calculator is a lot of fun to play with.... https://www.p-max.uk/cgi-bin/black_powder.cgi

    Awfully quiet over at Kiblers.

    Heard that he back-burnered the smoothbore project just for now. He realized we all "need" Companion Pistols to compliment the fine rifles that we already have. He needs to make room in the shop...and the pistol kits are using up all the barrel cuttings, and scrap wood left over from the...

    Reloading Lever Damaging Balls

    You will break your loading lever off the little Remington VERY easily. If you have the hand-strength just north of a toddler's, you won't need a pipe extension to pry the lever off of a Pocket Remington.

    Wobbeling Hammer

    I tried all the fixes mentioned here and only one works. Use a steel feeler gauge, and with scissors cut some shims that are long enough so that you can push the **** down over them, then trim them off flush. Making them long will give a shoe-horn effect to the shims. If you try to peen the...

    March Postal Match Target Ready to Shoot

    Cloudy and wind, this fine day. My hands were getting cold shooting... think I'm about ready for summer. Tried some 2f Diamondback. 55grs burned super dirty. And shot terrible. Upped to 100 grains and it cleaned right up, and seems to shoot just fine. This was a great Target, it appeared as a...
