    45 cal Woodsrunner

    Relative to the same gun in a larger caliber, a .45 will always be a bit heavier, but in that set up it will balance really well and be a bit cheaper to shoot, too.

    Ramrod

    I use 8-32 on the rods that go in my guns because the reproduction tow worms I use are 8-32, and strength isn't an issue. I use 10-32 on my modern cleaning rods because, why not? If you don't care about using a historically correct tow worm or ball puller, then it probably doesn't matter and you...

    What ball/patch generally works best?

    I like thicker patch and smaller ball, but Art's reply above is a good one, particularly since he's got the same barrel as you! 50 grains is a great starting point for target loads - shoot, I know of folks for whom 50 grains in a 50 cal is their all-around load for everything in a .50 - up and...

    Is Kibler a Sponsor of this site?

    I’ve never purchased one of his kits or owned a custom gun made by his hand but I think you have to be pretty new to the game that is muzzleloading or just not understand the technology if you don’t see what Jim Kibler’s company is doing for this sport/hobby/culture. Every one of the small...

    18th Century Military Accoutrements Leather?

    Veg tanned 100%. You can also easily make your own vinegaroon "dye" to get the period black (Google DIY vinegaroon- you already have what you need likely at home). Once you have your dye, paint that on the leather and the chemical reaction will darken. If it's not completely black, just put on...

    Bag molds

    I've cast a ton with various sized Larry Callahan's molds. I cut off the fingers of some old heavy duty cowhide gloves and insert the mold handles. That way I can cast all day long if I want with no issues with the mold overheating. I also wear gloves because I don't like molten lead on my skin...

    Got my Woodsrunner But!

    That is really disappointing, but I'm glad nothing was missing or damaged. There are so many varying opinions on who to use for shipping long guns, but it mostly comes down, I think, to the individuals who actually handle your package. I had an issue almost 20 years ago with a gun shipped UPS...

    Next Kibler Rifle Kit - What Wood Choice?

    As probably 90% of American rifles of the period were maple, that would be the obvious choice. Walnut and cherry are good choices too as it wasn't unheard of and both of those woods yield beautiful, yet different looks.

    CLOSED Jeff Miller British Pattern Hatchet

    Sorry, folks. Hadn't logged in for quite a while. I was a little miffed at the rude (and frankly, ignorant) comment made on my post so I forgot about it. At this point, I've decided I'm not selling. I was - at the time - thinning out some things to make room for new stuff. I would suggest...

    SOLD Simeon England axe

    I have one of his tomahawks - just like this one. It is a dead ringer for dug examples. I know he put a ton of research into recreating the best representation of a weapon that was carried by virtually everyone on the frontier. Not too many folks out there making these - at least not this accurate.

    CLOSED Jeff Miller British Pattern Hatchet

    That's not a modern handle... That's a hand split piece of ash that was shaped to form by period correct tools as are all of Jeff Miller's pieces. Look closely and you'll see there is no bend in the handle as in a modern axe shaft....
