    What can you use on a Powderhorn to prevent it from cracking?

    Go to a drug store a get a small bottle of glycerine. Might have to ask the pharmacist. Rub a little on not real thick. Multiple thin coats are better than a thick one.

    The Curse Of The Sprue

    I have a.62 cal trade gun shoot a .600 with .022 thick canvas. Any muzzleloader shoot with the sprue up. Don't listen to any one who shoots sprue down no way can you center the sprue. I shoot 60 grs. 2ffg . Hoppies 9 plus for lube. Amazing what you can do with a smooth bore a no rear sight.
