    Bullet Mould Idea

    I have not got back to this exact mould idea but I have customized some smokeless moulds with success. Getting a feel for what I can get away with and the dimensional tolerance that I can hold. My direction now is to just make a complete mould as the Lee blocks are hard to hold rigidly and...

    TC Renegade **** Geometry Adjustment

    I heated it up with an acetylene cutting torch. I then tapped it with a hammer using a piece of hex stock and a piece of round in a vise. I stretched it out to look pretty much as close to what @TerryK posted above. It made it better but it still isn't perfect. The new frizzen and **** both...

    Cleaning or Lack Thereof?

    It finally has rained twice since I originally posted this. One rifle that already had rust started in the bore (before I bought it) had some more growing in there. Also one pistol that had no corrosion otherwise started to barely rust a little. The pistol that I kept swabbed out had zero...

    Kansas Folks

    My wife's cousin lives up there around Marysville somewhere. You guys have some big deer up there! Ours aren't bad here in McPherson county but not quite as big on average as yours.

    Shooting Pietta Navies with red toy caps

    That's why the flash hole is bigger to blow the plastic back out of the hole!

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    In the future if you own a hot glue gun you will be labeled a terrorist. 🤣

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    You have to look who is setting the prices and then you can determine if it's "gouging" or not. Kentucky Gun Co is not gouging as most of the smaller shops around are not. When you see them for twice that or 3 times that you know there is something going on. The initial price could be...

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    So who is sniveling? I think people are just in utter amazement of the lack of caps and would like to know why. Everyone is not wanting them on a "silver platter" they will have to buy them with their hard earned cash at whatever price they are gouging us for.

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    This multinational corp owns CCI, Federal, and Remington. I would guess they won't let anyone else in the market, hence the ridiculous regulation to make components for ammunition. Probably not real high on their profit list. I would imagine if a company that huge says they can't keep up with...

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    What is the recipe to make the mercuric ones like they used to have in the 1800's? I want some of those anyway. To hell with the CCI and Remington ones that the priming compound falls out of! haha

    Lee REAL bullets

    I think I finally have source for pure lead in my area that isn't $2 plus per pound. I think gold is less rare than pure lead around these parts! lol

    Lee REAL bullets

    I am messing with them in my Renegade. Been messing around with the lock more than any accuracy testing so far. I have shot some but I need to find some pure lead to cast them out of. Casted out of wheel weights they seem to cast to dimension if you run your mold hotter than a fritter. (kind...

    Number 11 cap shortage?

    So if you stay in a burning delivery vehicle you are already burned to a crisp by the time the powder or caps finally get ignited. What safety protocol is there to exercise besides getting out of a burning vehicle and not entering a burning vehicle? Do they have to put it in some kind of...

    How often do you shoot?

    I need to start! I printed out the Thanksgiving one and my son shot it with his BB gun! haha

    How often do you shoot?

    I shoot something almost daily. I need to keep focused on my black powder shooting but I like to shoot the 120 year old engineering also!

    Blowing down the barrel

    If your vent is plugged you better be able to blow pretty hard! OK I am done! Blow away! 🤣

    Blowing down the barrel

    Ok as a relatively new muzzleloading shooter, I admit that I was appalled the first time I saw this practice. I don't care what you do, but it goes against any kind of gun safety I was ever taught. I honestly can't see one reason that it would be useful, but to each their own. I didn't mean...

    Blowing down the barrel

    I don't care if you do it I just think it looks stupid. You could wear a clown suit while you are at it! lol
