Sadly, moved all my shooting kit into what I think is going to be long term storage. As most of us here in the UK are obliged to shoot on ‘approved’ ranges, I fear it’s going to be a while. Nothing needs cleaning, got enough balls and bullets cast lubed and sized where needs be, cut a million...

I was going to click ‘like’ but ‘liking’ you having back problems through fighting for your country doesn’t seem right, maybe the Mods will put in a ‘I salute you’ button?

Remembring one of my trips to Florida, I thought of Wendy's. The best breafast. So I Googled it. Cut a long story short, made my version of Wendy's Chicken Sandwich Along wit my 'birds nest' fries - yaffled in minutes. Thanks Wendy, you have lovely buns. 😘

Fettling, either slag in a furnace or old English for making, mending, maintaining.

Ordered a conical bullet mould for my ROA and spent an hour in the fettling shed tidying up. To cold and damp to be out there long. Heard about the passing of a lovely man, Bill Curtis, old age (comes to us all). So tonight I shall raise a glass to the memory of one of life’s gentleman and mine...

I have bucket-loads of E45 as I suffer from dry skin. I 'juice my legs' most days.Thanks for the tip I'll take a tub if I ever get to the range again?

David, Thank you, possible wad staying in the base problem was what prompted the post. My best results so far with the lee ph mould bullet, dip lubed and sized down to .565. I fiddle with a lathe and have made a couple of jigs to use on my Wamadet press. This of course takes out most of the...

Thanks Mod👍🤗

I make my own pistol wads and during lock-downs I have probably made about two years supply for about fifteen quid. My thoughts turned to my PH Enfield and ways of making life better. I have amost, i think, found the right sized bulet but, in resizing, most of the lube is removed. Woke this...

You could make your own wads, I do. 1/4 the cost of commercial ones. Lots of youtube videos too. enjoy your gun

I started this thread last year and learned a lot. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/getting-the-best-from-my-parker-hale.117086/ purest lead you can get works best. Enjoy your Enfield🤗

You’ll need a bigger shed to fit in all the ‘must have’ kit😈

Yes, that’s the stuff. I read an article somewhere that someone has used it successfully. Plain hollow base is producing the best results for me although I have yet to go beyond 100 yards.

The plugs were effective, I have tried them using both wood ( a real pitb to make) and Milliput clay. They didn’t perform consistently because I suspect that some did and some did not separate in flight. I have found that a service, or near to it, charge with bullets sizrd to suit the bore...

I agree, live with it, it’s part of the gun’s history. In three generations time it will give it’s new custodian a point of interest. If you must change it put in a replacement brass insert with something which ties it to you, or start a list of owners names perhaps.

I bust a shoulder a couple of years ago. Wrote this:- One Armed Fettling I'm trying one armed fettling (Till I'm returned to two) Because, apart from that or reading There's not much else to do. I tried watching daytime telly All them homes to sell or mend And daytime soaps and dramas Just...

I have a second Baker kit bought from TRS ten years ago - surely it will get to the top of my TODO list this year?

conversation in my house this morning. Wife asked ”What are you going to do today?” ”Finish off what I was doing yesterday.” ”But you didn’t do anything yesterday!” ”Zackly!!”

It is said that lefties are more intelligent - watch out for him. And yes, be proud to brag away👍

How do you get your Dillon to load a front stuffer?🥳😈
