I need help with DIY wads
Denton, My wife and I are very experienced shotguners, we even have our own oscillating auto thrower. Have tried cork wads and put them away for fiber wads which are much more forgiving. They can be used in both ML and BP cartridges in your reloads. I personally purchase Fly but OX is just as...- Doc

Flints??
I have found a trader that handles a large amount of quality flints. I always go to him and check out what he has. I will go through perhaps a hundred+ to pick out the 20/25 which I’ll need for the year. Doc,- Doc

Why Muzzle Down?
For those of you who have very long ML as I do. A non working tall freezer can be gutted easily and they are basically air tight. A small hole in the back for a dehumidifier or a Golden Rod a hasp lock would help. It can be used for guns, powder, ammo, etc, Doc,- Doc

Which state is the best for ML?
California, not good for hunting or reenactments, BUT if you like or enjoy Rendezvous you’ll love the far northern Ca. and southern Or. area. Within a few hours of driving there’s 20+ Rendezvous going on year round. Not mentioning monthly club shoots Vet shoots or Turkey shoots etc. Doc,- Doc

Why Muzzle Down?
In the last 30 years, I haven’t had a spot of rust even in my various Damascus doubles some of which I haven’t shot in 4/5 years. All are stored muzzle up in my 3 large safes. Since I changed over to a silicone based oil which does not run, stays put on the barrels and absolute protection...- Doc

Many of us use this type of container and load it in this circular pattern. These plastic snuff containers will hold a large...- Doc
