Casting? Nope! My Dad taught me proper casting starting in 1948 and over a period of many years continued the process; casting for rifle and revolver. These days I let Hornady provide me with SWAGED RB as my back won't let me sit at the bench too long without pain. Six years of football...

and shooting! On my recent trip to my son's camp in Coalgate Ok. to deer hunt....I had something happen that had never occurred previously concerning the use of iron sights. Let me digress! The day before Thanksgiving or rather the night prior to Thanksgiving day I only got two hours sleep as on...

These are targets I shot with two different rifles; 50 and 54 caliber. I was filing and tapping during this session to get the sights set and was at 100 yards. I used same pillow ticking .018" with Canola oil for lube on all shots and was shooting KIK 2F powder 100 grains all shots. Used 530...

session with three different rifles 100 yard distance. The shots NOT toward center was when I was tapping front or rear sight and or cutting down the front sight. All using 100 grains KIK 2F BP using .018" pillow ticking w/Canola oil for lube, 50 and 54 caliber Hornady swaged RB. IMG_1933 by...

My left hand!

The majority of their rifles shipped are CARTRIDGE RIFLES and have to be shipped to an FFL! Once in a rut.....stay in a rut!!

Just the way I like it! I wouldn't want a left sided one! I shoot off left shoulder and been shooting flint that way for quite a while with no ill problem!

Inmaterial to me cuz I ain't gonna ever use SP! What I get a 'kick' out of are the guys on these hunting shows on TV using their ML (modern inlines) and making kills at 300 plus yards! They all think they're DB!!

I beg to differ that the barrel 'blanks out' any sight hold! A short front sight and a hot load works pretty well with my .54 flintlock at 200 yards!

HISTORY!

I believe whatever results are....as for patching will depend upon the type rifling is present. Deep rifling is more difficult to seal than shallow!

Untitled by Sharps Man, on Flickr These are .58 caliber Hornady swaged RB and very accurate! I chose ten at random out of a box and the results are shown at right!

Best way to wash the demons out is to buy a decent rifle to begin with made by someone that knows what they're doing! There's lots of junk sold in this game!!

The problem is that loose patches and NOT starting with a short starter DOES NOT give me the accuracy I want!

Elephant was abandoned eons ago by shooters on the Shiloh Shooters Forum! Dirty Dirty Dirty!!

Wife keeps some under the kitchen sink! Plain old Canola (cooking oil) oil! Cheap!! Most times just SPIT!!

"That time he had to go and change his shorts.:ghostly" :ghostly::p

I've often heard about some folks being able to shoot ALL DAY without wiping and if I make it to heaven.....first thing I intend to do is attempt to get Saint Peter into a conversation and ask him how THOSE FOLKS did that....or at least claim that THEY did! Surely St. Peter knows!! As for the...

In this little tin with a shotgun shell to show size. Carry 8-10 patches and same amount RB in whatever caliber. Untitled by Sharps Man, on Flickr

I'd venture to say that those that grew up in the '40s and '50s shooting single shot .22 rifles with nothing but standard barrel sights never had a problem learning to shoot the standard barrel sights of our ML rifles! Never let it be not said that the era that you grew up in has much to do with...
