    Rifleman's knife

    The way things are going, I might too old and infirm to go hunting again! Pneumonia keeps clipping my wings!

    Wall mounted rifle display

    That has a real pretty stock, just not enough of it for me to shoot comfortably.

    Could this be the best Round Ball Patch lube?

    As Dutch Schultz (sp) used to say, too slick is another problem and variable to deal with. Do what works for you, life is too short to grouse about every little detail.

    Lead ingots

    Yep, they look just like the counter weights we took out of my grand parent's house, built in the 1920's. They were not pure lead BTW, much too hard.

    45 caliber conical

    The Lee REAL bullet can be an accurate game getter but you must be willing to work up a good load for your rifle. For a 45 caliber you'll probably need to try a number of bullet weights, 200 grains and under. The addition of a lubed fiber wad between the powder charge and bullet should improve...

    First flintlock deer

    I'm quite surprised that you found a bullet for your .40 that didn't tumble *** over e!bow right after leaving the barrel! More often you need shallow rifling and a slight!y faster twist rate but I agree with your decision to up the powder charge substantially, it seems to have worked and you...

    No, the LOP is too short or I'd buy it; just another half inch! 😉

    Cabela's chaps my hide.

    It's been many years since my tolerance with Cabelas ran out. I bought a cap and ball revolver there and although it was new in a sealed box the clerk had to walk it out past the front door before he would hand it to me. I said "you really don't know how these work, do you?" He replied that it...

    Food for thought on smaller calibers for hunting big game.

    I believe you took a hog using a "small" caliber round ball. Shot placement is e everything.

    I was beginning to think that joke went unnoticed!

    Doesn't anyone make a Colonial smoothbore in caplock???

    Good job on the Colonial gun and congratulations on having it selected for inclusion in the catalog!

    popular lube?

    Well, I can say as a matter of fact that I use straight olive oil on my patches and they taste a darn bit better than castor oil.

    Me neither! What is the twist rate on these New Englanders?

    bank robbery

    Most parole officers are not versed in the section of Federal law defining muzzleloaders and antique firearms. Most of them simply lump them into the "destructive device" category and don't care to learn otherwise. Having said that, such exceptions do not absolve someone of a crime such as...
