    No grouse was harmed in the making of this post

    Better to have a day out and no grouse than to have no day out at all. :thumb:

    Crockett Pistol Velocity Surprise

    Bringing up writers and articles repeatedly when they were never mentioned gave me that impression. Using Goex's published data as a reference for the powder they manufacture seems reasonable. As I mentioned above, it has been very close to the velocities I get in other guns. That's great...

    Crockett Pistol Velocity Surprise

    Data from component manufacturers is far different than articles and videos by "hacks." You seem hung up on them but at no point in my posts did I reference any writer, article, book or video. I'm happy for you that you've had top level instruction. I've learned on my own from study and personal...

    My First Ball Bag

    Nothing wrong with that @scottbeverly2004! Don't let negative comments from anyone discourage you from making things or sharing what you make here. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who build themselves up by putting others down. They don't seem to realize their negativity says more...

    Crockett Pistol Velocity Surprise

    I should have added that part of why I was surprised by such a difference in their listed velocity and what I'm getting is that their data has been close to my velocities in other guns. When I chronied my .54 cal Lyman Plains Pistol in 2011 it came in at 655fps with 20gr of 3F (and 890fps with...

    Crockett Pistol Velocity Surprise

    I was at the range today to file down the rear sight of my .32 cal Crockett pistol. I brought my chronograph along to see what velocity I was getting with it. The load I'm using is the minimum shown by Traditions for this gun. Its a .310" (45gr) ball with a .010 patch over 10gr of 3F Goex...

    How far must you travel to hunt?

    Earlier I mentioned that we get lions in town. This is why.

    .62 Smoothbore Flintlock Grouse Hunt

    I had the Green Mountain drop in 1" .32 cal barrel. It was heavy! Good luck to you as well.

    How far must you travel to hunt?

    I'm very fortunate. Within 10 miles of my home (usually much less) there are whitetail deer, mule deer (always in town), elk, moose, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, black bear (occasionally in town), mountain lions (often in town), grizzly bear (no hunting for them), wolf, cottontails...

    .62 Smoothbore Flintlock Grouse Hunt

    Green Mountain used to make 15/16" and 1" drop in barrels for T/C Hawkens and Renegades in several calibers from .32 to .62 cal. I had a few others and parted with them. Now I wish I would have picked up more of them when they were available. One of those things you think is always going to be...
