    Too much trouble.....

    These look a little rough but they'll work! I'm getting better at it as I learn more of the little subtle refinements! Got some 220 grain all-lead Kaido bullets to load. IMG_4882 by Sharps Man, on Flickr

    Too much trouble.....

    Thanks guys for your input. I worked on these until my back is aching but I'm learning a new skill. Gotta find out now where to find the nitrated cig paper! IMG_4882 by Sharps Man, on Flickr Folks I started shooting revolvers when my Dad came home in 1952 with a Colt .45. He taught me how to...

    Too much trouble.....

    Where do you purchase the 'curling paper' and do you cut it akin to the size of cigarette paper or does it come in sheet sizers? Thanks!

    Too much trouble.....

    I watched Blackies' process about putting a drop of clue atop the ball and then sitting the sleeve stick atop the ball. That's fairly easy but then when I slide the sleeve and ball off the stick the paper wants to collapse. I'm wondering how spray starch might stiffen up the paper a tat before...

    Too much trouble.....

    in my opinion to mess with loading paper cartridges! I'm pretty dexterous with my hands but in loading some paper cartridges for my New Model Army .44 revolver and no more trouble than it is to carry loading components in the field....I will opt for doing just that!

    Triple Sight Picture

    Champion pistol and rifle shooters.....of yore...when scopes were only allowed in matches like the Wimbledon Cup and Leech matches shot basically aperture sights....called peep sights by some and some really amazing shooting was done using the aperture sight. Putting an aperture sight on a...

    Flat spots on tumbled balls

    I started casting in 1948! I ain't gonna cast now! Hornady has an unlimited supply of 'mashed balls' aka swaged balls with no air pockets! They shoot mighty fine!!

    Triple Sight Picture

    The human eye cannot focus at two different objects at the same time! It's striking a happy medium.....meaning that the target does not have to be in full focus....only the front sight! Go see your eye doc; if you don't have one....go find one! An aperture rear sight will help but won't fully...

    Flintlock Shooting as Olympic Event

    Four decades back International Rifle Competition at 300 meters was a highly popular event but the OC saw fit to cancel it out under the auspices that it was too difficult to promote because of lack of adequate range facilities! That was total BS of the highest order. What was inadequate was the...

    Flintlock Shooting as Olympic Event

    The OC did away with the best rifle matches of all when they took off the agenda of International Rifle Shooting known as the 300 meter event! As many as 15-20 nations sent teams to compete in this event but due to the OCs stance against firearms it was taken off the agenda! The only event worth...
