    Canadian Happenings and Other Nastiness

    Having traveled quite a bit in Canada, mostly Ontario and to the east I have seen some pretty animated conversations displayed between the Francos and the Anglos, even to the extent of downright meanness in person.

    Canadian Happenings and Other Nastiness

    Would be interesting to see some of your countrymen who live in occupied Canada "converse" with someone from free Alberta. See if maybe you guys can outdo us. 🤣

    Lee molds

    You might talk to TOW about it. They stock all kinds of odd ball diameters and Lee molds, and they might be willing to deal on going in with you on getting a mold for themselves, etc.

    Lee molds

    You are correct they do not catalogue a .570 right now, .600 seemingly the breakpoint between doubles and singles. Their custom service I do believe would make one for you: https://leeprecision.com/custom-services-custom-bullet-molds Usually, their custom stuff is not that expensive, and they...

    Lee molds

    Could be its too large for their double cavity format. I know that is the case with some other larger projectiles. Not sure what the "breakpoint" is.

    Crazy Crow knife

    I recently got a Higo Nokami Japanese pocketknife when it ended up as a suggestion from Amazon for under $20. Sharp as a razor and makes a good path knife. Not exactly historically correct for a muzzleloading patch knife, but historical in its own right and interestingly constructed. Mine is...

    Feinwerkbau History no 3 required

    You might want to put an ad post in the for sale/wanted forum. May I ask what a Feinwerkbau History no 3 is? Is it a book?

    cast my first bullet ever, critiques?

    Looks pretty good to me. I've probably cast thousands that didn't look that good but shot just fine. As far as defects, unless they are huge the only ones that really matter are the ones on the edges of the base, as far as accuracy. As the mold heats up from pouring bullets, the lead will...

    Interested to see what you think about them.

    Track of the Wolf

    Same here, none of mine looked used though, it's been probably 3-4 years ago I bought them and still using them. Biggest problem I had was finding smaller ones to use in rifles and pistols as most were musket size. Wouldn't be hard though to knap them down. I liked the amber ones the best...

    Flints?

    50 bucks a pound at IMA. They've gone up a lot since I bought them a few years ago. If I recall they were like $20 or less then. They are original "historic" flints though. https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-18th-century-british-and-french-flintlock-musket-flints-sold-by-the-pound-html

    Saw an odd smoothbore in a LGS today

    Some years ago I ran across a similar Belgian made flintlock musket, in 16 ga. It was marked Dixie Gun Works through and not SPESCO. In my research in trying to figure out what it was, I did run across the SPESCO name, and it seems that they, and some others, including Dixie, brought in a lot...

    .36 vs. .44 "Stopping Power"

    Wild Bill would give you no argument there.

    .36 vs. .44 "Stopping Power"

    This is closely paralleled by "A gun is like a parachute, if you really need it and don't have it, you will never need it again".

    .36 vs. .44 "Stopping Power"

    Strangely though, in this 21st century we do seek out doctors practicing late 20th century medicine.

    Keeping Minie in Barrel

    I have a Navy Arms/Antono Zoli Zouave and "standard" Minies were loose like yours and they didn't shoot all that well. So, I read up on it and fund an article about how the bore sizes varied and many were using to small a bullet. I tried different sizes and ended up with a .578 cast from...
