    New at Casting minieballs

    Found that having your lead at 850 plus a hot, smoked mold. Like too pre heat my mold with a propane torch. Put spit on your finger and quickly touch the mold it should (sing to you) if you do it properly you won't burn your self. Using this method my first balls are good. Don't hammer on the...

    Pitted barrels and shooting

    I've found 1/2 inch or so on top of the powder under the patched ball will usually tighten up groups from rough bores. For smooth bores a small brake home with a cleaning Rod( aluminum shot gun type). Home the barrel to take out pits. If really rough use a proper size ball home,it will round the...

    Cold! Still Shoot?

    Just slide the window open and shoot from a heated shop 25&50 yard bunkers. Some ***** had to build a log cabin behind my 100 yd backstop, so I lost that. Used to have e mountain howitzer. Think if I still had it I'd shoot blank loads every day. You wouldn't sleep through that. Try to shoot...

    November 2020 Postal Match - Tic Tac Toe

    Make sure all the powder comes out of your powder measure. Common problem to have 1/2 or so of the powder stick in the measure and not dump down the barrel. Depending on your lube too much is not good. Can dampen your powder but not a noticible difference in recoil unless you pour it down the...

    How accurate can patched round ball be?

    Back in the late 90's or so Green Mountain had an advertisement showing the national champ with a 100 yard target offhand think it was a 50 and 4 or five X's. Forget the guys name but he was an eagle eyed smooth shooter. Can probably find the spec's in NMLRA national records.

    patch lube,,,,,,,,,,

    The reason ww1 pilots wore scarfs silk ones was so that their necks wouldn't chaff. From looking around and behind for enemy pilots. If you didn't t do that you wouldn't last long. If castor oil would have been spraying on them they would have been flying blind not another longevity item. Just...

    patch lube,,,,,,,,,,

    Hopped 9plus is the best wet lube I've found. 3 /1 bees wax and beef tallow with a touch of bear oil for cold weather. Good for hunting too won't soak into the powder. If you are target shooting you should clean between shots. Yet barrel will last longer too.

    October 2020 Postal Match - Squirrel

    Shooting starts from the feet up. Feet with of your shoulders perpendicular to the target. If right-handed ,left hand on the fire arm, elbow under the gun. Right elbow even with your shoulder. Pull the gun into your shoulder. Take a full breath while bringing the gun to the target. Bring the...

    Muzzle protector for cleaning rod.

    Several years back bevel up and bevel down wrote about a test of different types I think they used a mechanical device to simulate the process of cleaning your rifle. Fiberglass failed the worst wood not far behind and stainless steel the best. Might want to look the article up in muzzle...
