    I have a question for the Smoothbore crowd

    Much depends on what part of the country you live in. In a dense forest in the East 35 yards may be normal. In the forests in the mid-west and out west 50 yards would normally be considered a very close shot. For Mulley generally 75+ yards. This country is so big with various cover, sizes of...

    Shooting high

    Center shot, don’t know where you’re at ? But in my neck of the woods many BP clubs purchase BP in case lots so members can purchase at cost. Perhaps you could look into joining such a BP club. Doc,

    Anybody know the year of this Goex?

    On the inside of my cleaning box. As I lift the lid for cleaning, you’ll see 2 early cans of 3f and one of 4f . I keep filling them as needed. Just like the looks of them. Doc,

    Just back from the Louderback Rhondy. Ran the shotgun events Fri and Sat . We had ML , BP cartridge and doubles competition. Sat my wife and I also ran the PeeWee Long Gong. This was held on an out of the way ranch that measures in many square miles. Doc,

    blue and red pillow tacking?

    As for cost of ready made , at about.$4. a hundred at any Rhondy I don’t feel I have to worry. As for the .006 variant in ticking that came directly from the manufacturer. By purchasing Builders Best I can get .010 for my tradegun.015 for my 50 and .010 for my wife’s 50 and .020 for my 45. It...

    blue and red pillow tacking?

    The thickness in any roll of ticking varies as much as .006. The weave (threads per inch) varies greatly from one roll to the next, even from each end of a roll. For this reason I have changed to “Bridgers Best” store bought patches. The weave and thickness is very constant and does not change...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Just got back from a 4 day Rhondy. As a member of the club stayed there Monday to check fire pits and check for anything left by mistake. This was held on a ranch that does not measure in acres but in miles, kind of off the beaten path. All the events were held on separate trail walks. My wife...

    Let’s talk about the F’s

    My wife and I are very serious shotgun shooters. A few years ago we switched from 2f to 3f, not only cleaner burning but we are getting higher velocity which means a smaller lead and a higher hit rate. It’s a win win. Doc,

    What shortage?

    As for purchasing BP . I realize some can not afford to buy a case themselves. Somewhere there must be a BP club you can join, even if it may be a few miles away. For storage of BP : A non working tall stand up freezer in the garage will do double duty. As an air tight safe for tall long guns...

    Mixing powder (not what you think)

    It was interesting,most said mixing 2 and 3f that they would stay separate. A while back our BP club ordered “Jacks” 3f powder with the Goex order because it was a bit cheaper. Looking closely at Jacks we found there was a bit of 2f mixed in with our purchased 3f. Apparently Jacks is not sifted...
