    2024 cap update, bad and the bad

    Percussion caps are a small but dedicated market. I have noticed that the "ESG" score of manufacturers who produce anything consumer firearm related is lower than other small manufacturers. Blackrock is a major proponent of ESG ratings for lending/capital decisions. Could ESG be involved? Or...

    Barrel length and velocity of patched balls

    Long Rifles were long for a reason. Accuracy and velocity. Sight radius. The ability to use a wide variety of powders and extract all the energy.

    Conversions

    Flintlocks are tradition. They are wonderful to shoot, and you can fire-up tinder with them. They are all around satisfying to shoot--but are climbing in cost if a good lock is involved.

    Triple 7 3f

    Learn to make everything needed to supply your Arms. Pray for American Freedom. Evil is stalking our Land. Do not trust food from Far East suppliers. Things like Prions do a slow kill delayed over years, and can be put in our food supplies to damage us by stealth. Be on guard.

    Triple 7 3f

    T-7 is a great powder sub but had squibs a few times. Whereas Black consistently gives that instant crack bang. Pyrodex did not store well for me and gave inconsistent performance. In cases where you must absolutely rely upon ignition, go with 3-4f in a revolver and 2 -3f in a rifle. Stock up...

    What caliber rifle to get?

    When Pyrodex first came out, duplexing was all the rage since pyrodex then was not easy to ignite compared to black powder. Since then many guys have duplexed 777 loads with a small prime of 4f. I have tried it with a prime of 10% 4f of your 777 charge. Experiment a little. What I know is that...

    Jamestown archaeological excavation of a pistol

    When the Colony was overrun did the owner wind up in the well also? For those days that would be a valuable piece that would not be abandoned unless you are running for your life.

    Is the black powder revolver industry dying out?

    Percussion revolvers require no justification to own. It is a passion and hobby, as well as a shooting sport. People will have many different ones Because they are different, which to the enthusiast makes them collectible. The love for these revolvers was created, for many, because they were the...

    $1,000 budget (set on stone): What should I recommend?

    The Lock is the key. Get quality. Even in cap guns the Lock quality is the key thing to look for and buy.

    What caliber rifle to get?

    4f is my favorite powder for pistols and the prime in duplex loads. 2f is best in a longer barrel--3f will do it all. You have to use what you have. Test it and adjust the load for what works best.
