For short.....SORRY!

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...

I've been around this game a bit and I've come to the conclusion is that a spit patch probably works just as great for me as when I was using Canola oil! I keep patches and the swaged balls in the tin! IMG_3713 by Sharps Man, on Flickr

I could fill the bed of a PU with books I've hauled off, given away, thrown away, etc. No more! I have an Amazon Prime account and the Amazon Pad and I do all my reading on the pad! No books to worry with. Many reads are absolutely free of charge and lots of good reading of all types available...

Not a problem! My regular turn in time was 2130 hours so now.....I'll do same nightly deal at 2030 hours!!

That's what TRUMP is gonna do!!

If they were advancing in another direction.....they did it on the run!!

Well...I'm west of the Mississippi and proud that I am! As an OLD FART.....I'm of the opinion that a whole lot of extra BS is thrown into the ML game because of the fact that newbies can't forget their modern rifle thinking and are too interested in things that again in my view don't mean...

Haven't fired a shot in a few months and won't until it cools down in November! Heat index is a smooth 110F right now here! If the USA needed an enema.....it could be inserted half-way betwixt Monroe and Baton Rouge Louisiana anytime during July August September or early October!!

Frankly I couldn't care less that I possibly couldn't hit a pie plate off hand at 75 yards because I'm not going to faced with that situation! When I'm hunting I will be sitting on my backside and shooting from a blind so no need to have to show the hair on my chest by standing up and shooting...

Springfield Rifled Muskets and RB go together akin to water/oil!! Just my opinion!

I got sucked into that trap 25 years ago and wore myself out with it! Would have been better off sticking to Hawken rifles and ML for certain!!

Yes! Don't shoot it!

Lordy Lordy! Its mighty hard to beat a properly sized ball matched to caliber and a lubed patch of pillow ticking! This ain't rocket science! :oops:

Most folks generally bring smokeless powder thinking into the BLACKPOWDER world and basically it just doesn't apply.

Conical bullets work great as long as the correct ROT is used and the bullet is started with a false muzzle!
