Probably just from less demand. Just look at 22 short ammo compared to 22 long rifle. Logic says the short should cost LESS money because there's less brass less powder and less lead.... But demand says that the 22 short ammo commands the premium price

They had plenty of the 209s and I thought about getting a package which are $10 for 100 but I don't have a gun that uses them.... I do however make interesting slingshot bullets with them. I take some foil tape and tape the striking surface of the primer to the lead ball with a little tape off...

I'll keep you in mind if my improvised sizing die doesn't work out.

So I recently scored about 50 lb of lead at a yard sale including about roughly 1500 of these projectiles. They appear to be cast lead bullet with several grease rings. Total length is 15 mm and the diameter is 9 mm I'm thinking I might be able to use these in my 1863 pocket model. So far I...

What Brokennock said. I live in a rural Southwest Florida town with plenty of rednecks. If I go to the Walmart 30 mi away closer to the coast they have very little in the way of gun stuff but their fishing section is much larger than my local Walmart.

Full disclosure.... It did kind of help that the employee is somewhat of a friend of mine. But I did just happen to find him near that department at the time. I asked him to tell me if he saw the muzzle loading display coming out but I just happened to find it because I checked sporting goods...

I have the same gun and I would not worry about it. I got round ball from track of the Wolf and I believe it is 323 or 324. I do not use the loading lever on mine and I do not have a stand but what I do is put the cylinder on the kitchen counter and I take a 1 lb lead ingot and I hammer the...

Was in Walmart this morning..... they are just putting out the muzzleloading display. Only a few products were on the shelf and I saw the space for the much coveted CCI number 11 percussion caps... But it was still empty. I finally found an employee who knew how to use the app on their phone...

I myself haven't heard that but I do recall reading on a label of 777 that I do believe they say to reduce the charge 20% by volume for an equal amount of other muzzle loading propellants. Is this possibly what you're referring to?

I second that. Recently bought my avatar picture 1863 pocket model from them and shipping was fast and there was no BS involved. Every bit as good as Midway.

Shot my North American arms super companion. Two full cylinders of 5 rounds each and I had 100% ignition using CCI number 11s. But after the first two rounds on each cylinder there was a jam towards the bottom of the frame with the spent cap. Requiring some fidgeting before shot number three...

My experience has been the opposite with my super companion. The RSW tend to have quite a few misfires but the CCI number 11's have very few. Now for all my other cap and balls the rsws are 100%

When I was a complete noob to black powder and specifically cap and ball.... I used pure Crisco which was a joke, did nothing but make a big mess. Now I use about 75% pure beeswax and the remainder being Crisco melted on low heat in a tuna can on the stove. Works pretty good but the next batch...

I have the 1863 Remington pocket model that I recently purchased from muzzleloaders.com I just looked out of curiosity about 24 hours ago and the brass frame one that I bought is out of stock but they do have the nickel plated brass frame in stock for 80 more dollars at $430 Try as I might I...

I take a tiny dollop of my homemade bullet lube consisting of about 75% pure beeswax and the remainder being Crisco and put over the top of the conical bullet when I load my super companion. Of course there's not much room for any lube but a little bit. Are you shooting the proprietary conicals...

Yowza !!! Glad it wasn't worse. What do you think may have caused the chain fire? I only had one chain fire in my life and it was most unusual because it was an 1858 and the chamber that chain fired was not the neighboring one but the one completely opposite. I was uninjured but certainly...

I bought some pure beeswax ingots off of Amazon and I make bullet lube for my cap and balls by melting about 75% pure beeswax and an empty tuna can on a burner on low and I put about 25% Crisco with it. So far it's worked for me. I live in Southwest Florida and I have a honey processing plant...

I have the super companion and I also get misfires. Getting misfires with the rsws and the Winchester magnums and Remington number 10s. Was having the same problem with my 1863 pocket model but the CCI number 11's have thus far proven 100% reliable with about 40 rounds through it. Haven't tried...

Shot my 1858 on my friend's private property on the Peace River. He has a mound down by the river that we shoot into. I have another friend that lives about a half mile up the river on the other side and I called him on my phone and told him to go out on his porch and listen and tell me if he...

I understand muzzleloading gun uses still very much prevalent in India.
