    As another year passes...

    Congrats on a successful hunt and that fine bird! 4f in a 10 gauge? I would have never thought that would give you good shot patterns but the proof is in the pudding. That's a nice looking shotgun too. Maybe you can post some pics of it someday?

    Sidelock Bull Elk Harvest

    Outstanding hunt young man, and a fine animal as well.

    Ball-ET Performance

    I will offer another comment on the PRB vs. conical discussion as more often than not it is the depth of the rifling that determines which projectile gives the best accuracy. The twist rate also affects accuracy depending on the projectile but the depth of rifling will ultimately be the key.

    SOLD RANGE BOX FS

    I've got five of Spider's range boxes made of wood ranging from maple to Osage Orange and they are top notch in every way. He is a real craftsman and the boxes will probably outlast us all.

    JoAnns #40 cotton drill

    Not necessarily burning but melting is a better term. It is an amazing sight that you think can't happen. However, I personally have seen synthetic material become one with the metal barrel of my rifle and it's all but welded together. Cleaning is more like chiseling for the first hour or so a...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Good for you!!! Volunteering sure feels great doesn't it? I hope you've inspired a whole bunch of kids to want to give back; thank you for doing that with a black powder/muzzle loader twist.

    Lee 54cal 300gr or 380gr/elk

    I forgot to add that no matter which conical I tried, accuracy improved when I added a lubed fiber wad.

    SOLD REDUCED PEDERSOLI FLINT 50 CAL RIFLE

    If I wasn't a lefty I'd be all over this! Nice job on the stock, the factory finish can hide the beauty of the wood sometimes.

    SOLD CVA Mountain Rifle

    What caliber is it? Also, if this was a kit, what did you use to finish the stock with?

    Lee 54cal 300gr or 380gr/elk

    If you can put a PRB in the right place within 100 yards then stick to that.80 Personally, I got rid of my modern guns and hunt only with muzzle loaders as I wanted to hunt and not just shoot them. Using primitive, fixed iron sights my self imposed limit is 80 yards and my eyesight agrees. My...

    Ball-ET Performance

    Out of my 1/48, .54 Lyman trade rifle the accuracy was good but not as much as a prb. My .50 fast twist barrel gave poor accuracy to say the least. After working up a load in my .54 rifle using prb, nothing comes close accuracy wise.

    WANTED Buffalo Bullet Co. Ball-et

    Good luck finding those will be scarce as hens teeth. Before reducing their production to just .50 & .54 calibers the remaining .32, .36, .45 were cut as they just weren't popular. In the end only the .50 remained and stayed as the lone ball-et, mostly to satisfy Colorado regs pertaining to...

    reclaiming lead from car and motorcycle batteries

    I thought it was hydrogen sulfide that was released but it still has to be removed and most people are not set up to do that.

    WITHDRAWN REDUCED Pietta 1858 Remington 5.5 inch Sherrif Model, NEW, Extra Cylinder and Nipples $400 URGENT

    I've owned 4 of the Sheriff's models along with 7 or 8 regular barrel length examples. Great revolvers, every one of them. Personally, I'm recovering from pneumonia right now and have too many bills to contend with right now, but your offer is fair and would make someone a good deal.

    SOLD REDUCED Pietta Remington New Army .44 (“1858 Remington”) $285 FREE SHIPPING

    It depends on your state laws, your PO (If you're still on paper, which does not seem likely) and if the court specifically included black powder arms as being prohibited. I would employ an attorney to be on the safe side. Check out the Second Amendment Attorneys on YouTube.
