Hi guys im sure this has been thrown around already, if so poi nt me there. But I was wondering what you guys use for squirrel loads. I tried a 75 grain measure of powder and equal amount of shot....and the pattern was ummm...wide ! I ahve since "borrowed" some 7/8 oz shot cups ...and tried...

I checked out durofelt....they seem reaaaaalllyy expensive I dont see me getting many wads for my 20ga from a piece of material 12" x 24" for 30 $....i can buy alot of fiber wads for that price http://www.durofelt.com/image_80.html

The barrel is 48 inches from breech to muzzle, It is a custom , thin walled barrel in 20ga. the whole gun weighs 6lbs 4 oz. She is slendr , sleek and light. The best wing shooting gun ive ever held.

I couldn't agree more. I have several priming horns, primers etc...but usually i just dump a litttle 3ff in t he pan righ from the horn

I bought a lyman GPR in 54. it was not a bad rifle, but the lock is a factory lock with several issues. the frizzen, main spring, the frizzen spring..all needed work. mine out of the box shattered flints because the frizzen spring was way too stiff. so i paid 750$ for a rifle that I paid another...

admittedly my hand stitchin sucks terribly, I will be using basting tape to keep things straight and using a half felled seam. The half felled seam is very strong, relatively fabric efficient and makes a very good waterproof seam . i will also be using basting tape on all of the reinforments to...

Well the tent is under way, I happen to run into a really good deal on some twin sheet sets. I bought 2 800 thread count sheet sets for 14.99 each. two flats sheets together will give me about an 8x8 tarp...not too shabby for 30$ more to follow as it progresses..currently i am dying the sheets...

Getting ready for squirrel season on sept 1st! can hardly wait. Thought I would get my kit around early to make the suffering worse lol. I ahve my Roy Stroh fowler and a Horn made by him as well. My Shooting bag is made by CutFingers, and the haversack was made by a friend. All in all I thinki...

did some critical thinking , the wads i used previously were well lubed and had been marinating for quite a while. these wads were brand new..i took them out and lubed the sides and shot....im wondering if maybe they were just to dry ? the wads would enlarge a bit as they absobed lubricANT maybe...

cly fly wads, never wet, unwaxed

dug into a bag of wads I had lying around. Right away I noticed t he ends were mushroomed and very fuzzy. when loading the tops tear away into pieces and seem to crumble as i load them into the bore. Needless to say I tried them at the range and I could not hit t he broad side of a barn! 5 shots...

well I went to the range yesterday and learned something. Wadding works preety well with a bare ball. I also learned that hemp rope with beeswax lube...burn like a mofo! it was pretty neat watching my gun shoot fireballs lol. maybe ill play around with it somemore...but I ordered some more wads...

u buy t he plane ticket ill supply the brandy

I think it would be worth it , However please bear in mind that if the allegations/issues with cva were even remotely factual/common....people would not be using them. I personally do not have one, however there are thousands that do! and they shoot them every day. I did some looking at the...

1) spray can finishes are a pain in the arse in my opinion. 2) the more humid it is the longer it takes to cure. If you have a blow dryer you can hit it with that for a while to help it cure..but your best bet is to just let it sit for a couple of days. 3) i tend to find that aeresol finishes...

which way hanshi?

my fowler is very accurate with the fiber wad....and even more accuarte with a tightly patched ball. but, I am trying to stay away from the hand pain of having to beat a ball down the barrel lol. tried patching with muslin....no dice . burned right through. I too was worried about starting a...

I recently found a large roll of hemp romp in the shed that had become moldy , and no longer suitable for use as rope. I shredded some by hand and its nice and fluffy...was thinking it could make good wadding material with a bit of wax/oil. Has anyone ever used it? also, i have only ever used...

As I am still new to the world of smoothbores I am always learning and asking. Recently i find myself trying to mini,ize the amount of gear I carry while hunting. normally , in my 20ga fowler I load with powder, 1/2" fiber wad with a thin section torn off the top. bare ball and the thin piece of...

Just my experience, I bought a Curry gun from veteran arms. A charleville to be exact, and it was "ok" . I had Dave Person who s a member of t he forum rework, and reharden all of the components. From day one I got about 30 shots out of the frizzen and then it was dead. the internal components...
