    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I started making my own BP. Had most of the stuff and thought, why not. I mixed it up in a ball mill ( harbor freight rock tumbler). Added 91% rubbing alcohol and compressed it. Into Pucks. Let it dry for 3 days and ground them in a grinder, filtered it with a screen dry. Re wet it, and screened...

    Finding flint/chert

    Here's what I would do. I would buy a steel strikers, and a medium copper bullet, test the rock and see if it sparks. If it does,pick it up and try it. I can't get to central or south Texas to find the chert. But I want to.

    I'm about to fix that

    To all who gave me idea's

    How mind you, the barrel is empty. Once the screw engages the ball. Let the washers drop down and spin the nut until tight. Use a wrench ro tighten the nut, as you do , it turns and moves up, pulling the stuck ball

    Dude I tried everything I know. I had to stop at cabelas in Ftw, and get a new ball puller. Got home, drove the puller into the lead and tightened it in the lead until I couldn't get it any tighter. Pulled, hit the bottom on the rod handle with a mallet. I could NOT get it to move. So I saw...

    To all who gave me idea's

    I explained to my gunsmith ( a shout out to the guys at shootsmart in Ftw.)l what I wanted. He made it. Stuck it down the barrel, Into the ball gave it a few twists, slid the washers down, made a few turns and he said he could feel it come loose, and was able to pull it out.. They had sprayed...

    To all who gave me idea's

    Here's what I did. After getting the ball stuck, I did the following. I must credit this to someone on YouTube, where I saw it. A 5 ft piece of threaded rod, cut it the length of the barrel plus a little longer. I used 3/8 rod Put 2 washers and 1 nut. On the other end weld a screw This...

    Need ideas

    The ball was stuck. I tried a ball puller, no luck. I will let my trusted gunsmith fix it. And YES he knows there's a charge behind it. I have since bought a patch puller and 2 ball pullers. You can be assured, that will Never happen again. My biggest concern I'd damage to the barrel from the 4...
