    i am finishing my rust box... i came into a bottle of Mark Lee slow (not sure how, i think he sent it to me by accident & when i asked if he wanted me to pay for it, he said never mind ... got a loyal customer for the price of a bottle of goop - pretty smart fellow) ... been tinkering for...

    Between powder and conical base?

    i have a punch and i cut out cards made of paper milk carton. this works for me, but i would urge you to check out a few options and see which one works best for you... be methodical, and only change one variable at at time, and take notes. best of luck!

    Black powder revolver for protection

    odd you should mention it ... my wife knew a woman who hated & feared them ... as if they collectively knew this, she would be subjected to huge swarms of them, while her neighbors where pretty much left alone. sorry to side- track the thread
