Alright all you skycheif smoothbore shooters out there, how do you carry those sopping wet wads in your bag while out there bustin' up some limb rats? A reasonable person would just use a ziploc bag but that just ain't very cool...

I did it to one of mine because the hickory wasn't taking on near enough color from the dark walnut stain I was using. Just used a propane torch. I like how it turned out!

You're good to go next weekend unless you can only hunt National Forest Land.

The ones that are too long for the gun safe live on the wall.

Very nice!

They have a sprue and a mold line so I'd put my money on cast

Is it wider at the end? I would think overshot cards would want to flip without an approximately bore sized end on the rod.

Hey all, maybe a bit of an odd request but those of you with smoothbore fowling pieces, would you be able to post a picture of your ram rod or at least the end of it? Trying to figure out what is historically accurate or at least what is the most useful for this style of muzzleloader.

Still being built! Hoping to have it by early June.

I think y'all misread my post, I am looking for a test pack of round balls. I don't want to spend $75 on a couple hundred round balls, I'm hoping to find a "test pack" of round balls that has like 10 balls in each of varying diameters for a given caliber.

So before I go any buy a mold only to find that the size I chose doesn't shoot well, does anyone know where I could buy a "test pack" of round balls? I'm thinking like 5 or 10 balls in varying diameters for a given caliber (.62 smoothbore in my case) to find which one groups the best. Now I know...

When I was 15, the idea of a gun that I could order and have shipped right to my door was too much for me to resist. I got bored with it as I was trying to use Pyrodex but 15 years later I picked up the hobby again during covid and haven't looked back.

Cool, I'll take it! PM sent.

How tight does the stopper fit? Looking for something to use as a shot pouch that will live in my shoulder bag and would hate to end up with a couple handfuls of #8 in the bottom of my bag...

Graf and sons has always been my go to. Maine powder house is good too.

I do really need to get me a thermometer...

Any ideas? Apparently it's fairly hard but maybe has some use in a smoothbore.

Hey all, up for your consideration is a Pietta 1851 Navy, .36. The only reason I can't claim brand new, in box is that I did take the barrel off for whatever reason and put a small ding in the retention spring when removing the barrel wedge (see picture). Never had a shot fired through it. I...

Howdy from Montross!

I know the place very well! Someone has recently spruced up the old post office so it looks a lot better nowadays.
