    What Was Under Your Tree?

    To retell a tasteless joke; three white shirts and a piece of a$$. None fit.

    Oh dear, this is not MY Canada......

    Unfortunately it is. No "common dog" anymore. Sensationalism, scare tactics and psy-ops rule the day. If you think you can just go about your life without hurting anyone, you're a threat to the greater good and need ever more control placed over you.

    Importance of Load Devolopment

    Accuracy is achieved by the projectiles leaving the bore at the same place in the barrel harmonics, finding that sweet spot that does it to our satisfaction. Change one thing and you may well have to change something else as well. We talk about 5 gr charge changes, cartridge shooters look at...

    Is the Recently-Discovered Beckwourth Rifle the One Jim Is Holding in His Portrait?

    Looking at pictures of him, I believe the photo is reversed. Not that that changes any observations others have made except that it would be a right handed lock. What makes me think it's not the same rifle is that the stock on the one he's holding appears to slim down further forward than in...

    Alberta Black Powder

    $85 a year ago. And only one type and grade available. Yeah, I'm optimistic with the way things seem to be headed.

    Alberta Black Powder

    Local gun show last weekend, pretty disappointing compared to past years but saw 6 or 8 traditionals which is noticeable more than some shows. A modest amount of real Black available. Scheutzen, Swiss and another brand which escapes me. I want to say Hogdon but it doesn't seem right. Real...

    PRB -VS- Conical Point of Impact Differences

    I did not allow for the instability of the firearm during the act of firing. I've fired the same rifle with a normal hold and so well braced that I would describe it as forbidding recoil. The much more tightly held firing produced better results and was actually more pleasant to shoot. I...

    PRB -VS- Conical Point of Impact Differences

    Try it and find out. I would suspect the conical to hit lower if both are made of the same material and have the same charge. Heavier weight and longer bearing surface creating drag on the trip down the bore. Depending on any lube applied it may be reduced but I'd still expect the PRB to exit...

    Haven't attended for a few years, thought they'd gone to 2&1/2 days.

    Alberta Shoots

    Which days? Very slim chance I might make it Sun. Sun and the moon and stars all gotta fall in line. Always a fun shoot.

    Is there a shoot on the long weekend? Not that it matters to me, got a load for work.

    Shooting Rest?

    Caldwell 7 rest is what I use. Cheap, sturdy, flexible and adequate adjustment. I zip-tied closed cell foam to the front of rest on mine. Cut down on stock rubs and the softer material better replicates your gun being hand held. I primarily use it to cut way down on human variables while...
