    Oh the Chains that Bind Us

    I don’t think that the shooters of flintlock side by sides between 1790 and 1820 carried enough gear for continuous shooting on the go. Enough for the hunt would suffice, and for target shooters of the day, they’d shot from a stationary location.

    Oh the Chains that Bind Us

    yep, wads and a system for dispensing shot. Plus, two flintlocks on one gun, double the chances of something going wrong. Haha. And to have enough shot to to last a few hours, weighs about 3-4 pounds, hanging around your neck. 16 shots per pound. Lol.

    Oh the Chains that Bind Us

    I just started shootings my side by side shotguns at sporting clay courses. No golf cart. I shoot and reload from my bag, powder horn, shot flask,etc… It took me a while to figure it out and get comfortable with leaving my big boxes of stuff in the car. Walk from station to station, new target...

    Ballistol is top notch... not!

    Another possible advantage of using Ballistol for black powder Is that it is slightly alkaline. So when using it in a wash of water for cleaning, or straight for lube and protection, the alkaline should tend to neutralize the acid in black powder residue, minimizing corrosion, at least for the...

    Ballistol is top notch... not!

    I like that Ballistol is non toxic. it works for me. If I were putting something in long term storage, would maybe consider something else after reading thru all this.

    #11 percussion caps

    I replaced my TC Hawken nipple with musket cap nipple a while back, and it helps to press the cap very firmly on the nipple. They fit really tight On my treso nipple.

    If You Could Design Your Own Shooting Range...

    Five stand or sporting clays for muzzleloaders would be feasible for smaller properties, but for a guy who lives in a trailer down by the river, I can dream, right.

    #11 percussion caps

    Bill Jackson’s Shop For Adventure in Pinellas Park has musket caps in stock every time I have been there. Sometimes there is a limit to how many tins you can buy, sometimes not, and depending on who’s working the counter, it varies. I know it’s a drive from Charlotte county, but not too bad if...

    Well, took out my 20 ga double flinter today. I just got some swiss null b recently and was anxious to try it out. So I made sure I had fresh well places flints in both locks. And went at it at the sporting clay course. My conclusion regarding 4F vs Null B in the pans: It’s always great...

    FOR SALE Pedersoli 1816 Harper's Ferry Musket

    So I hope that members who tactfully raise Q’s regarding the legitimacy of sales posts on the forum are not considered “zealots”. And are you encouraging “self policing” amongst ourselves here. Or just buyer beware and take your chances?

    I like the weight of solid brass. Especially when loading double shotguns with vacuum tight cards.

    GRIT TV and the Internet Movie Firearms Database

    Oh yes, there is a lot of crap on the channel. But it’s also kind of fun pointing out the fake and falsehoods depicted by the movie companies regarding firearms depicted as period correct in the films.
