    Substitute for lead in bullets

    Those boys need to remember who butters their bread! As mentioned, lead comes outta the ground. We are just trying to put it back!

    Eyes opened by Chrono numbers!

    I loved Black MZ too. It was supposedly made for Hornady by A.P.P. but for some reason they can't make anything that good themselves!?🤔

    Eyes opened by Chrono numbers!

    So I've been shooting Shooter's World ( A.P.P.) 3f powder for a year now getting fair groups out to 50 yards but no hits on paper at 100. So today I drug out the chronograph and found some answers. 75 grains with patched ball gave me 850 to 1050 fps. What!!!!????? So I get out the T-7. 1600 fps...

    It happened again today at the public range...........

    Many moons ago I showed an eager group of Boy scouts how to load and fire my 54 cal TC. Light loads of course. They loved it!👍

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I finally made it out with my smoke pole today. 10 roundball shots, about 6 with my cast improved Minnie's and three 525 grain No Excuses Conicals. All smacked my 8 inch plate at 50 yards. The 525's slammed the whole target hanger to the ground. No misses or sight adjustment for all three loads...

    No patches to read

    Even a patch shredding barrel will shoot good at 25 yards. Try 50 yards.

    No Excuses bullets used to (and still might) make a 600 grain 45 cal muzzleloader bullet. I shoot 525 grain boolits in my 54 but suspect the bigger hole in the bore reduces pressure and recoil compared to a 45.

    Ballistol.............

    Something is wrong with me(ask my wife) I like the smell of ballistol! Then again my sinuses have been roto rootered 5 times. Don't use it so much for cleaning as I do lubing patches or wads. Yes I'm weird!

    Montana muzzleloading season, blaze orange, camouflage

    I have a blaze orange camo hoodie I bought while living in N. W. Montana. Idaho has no blaze orange requirements but I still wear it.

    Wad use with prb

    I've found some of my rifles like a felt wad when using REAL conicals. Just never know until you burn some powder.
