Yah, pretty much. It's not really a free country anymore.

Bob, I have one. I just haven't found much about what I am looking for, or maybe I have found all that I will on that topic.

I stopped using tap water, of any temperature, long ago. I swab the bore a bit with Ballistol and bottled water (moose milk) at the range to knock out a lot of gunk. At home I use a plastic bucket and put in 4 oz Murphy's soap and a gallon of blue windshield washer fluid, room temperature. I...

I once got in trouble for having a 24 inch by 1 inch oak dowel in my front seat as personal protection. Not allowed to have clubs, saps, or pocket rocket slingshots in NY state. It's not a free country anymore.

If you have read Ned Robert's book The BP Caplock Rifle, do you recall seeing what he recommended for patch or bullet lube? I was curious and did a bunch of reading and only saw "sperm oil", but I didnt read the whole thing.

C'mon, really? Everybody knows what a possibles bag is. Sorry, were not in a HCPC re-enactors rendezvous here, just shooting muzzleloaders. I didnt realize the vocabulary police were here.

I shoot from the right shoulder but I can do most everything else with either hand so... That doesn't answer your question though does it?

I make a tightly rolled cone from a paper shopping bag. I let it "uncoil" just a bit to form a funnel and trim 1/4 inch off the end for a small hole. Put a piece of tape on the seam.

Years ago, Thompson/Center offered a yellow synthetic rod with a big ball at the top and an the rod was very smooth and slick. Very easy to wipe off after use. I sold mine with a rifle to sweeten the deal. Wish I had not done that. It was a good rod. I think the TOW stainless ones with the rod...

Can you explain to me how this could even remotely be possible? Suffice to say, I dont believe you.

I was getting worried we weren't going to get a Ballistol discussion this week. There is nothing that works great for everything.

Did we mention that some people cant afford more expensive guns?! HMM? I think it bears repeating. I was one of them. CVA AND Traditions are responsible for getting a ton of folks into shooting black powder.

From what I have seen, I'd rather have a traditions gun than a CVA. Just sayin.

Check your state laws about concealed blade length and legality of 2-edged blades. That would be a no-no here in NY

Why does he not just post and tell us himself that he is leaving. Kinda like breaking up via text.

Canandaigua NY. Finger lakes wine country.

Oy vey.

Haha! This gave me a good chuckle! Way to stir the pot looking for a debate. Slow day at your place? Have no fear, Spring will soon be here and we can all get out more often to shoot our guns, bows, and go fly fishing.

Seems like so many shooters have the mistaken notion that powder needs to be compacted as hard as possible when in reality, just snug is fine. You just have to remove the air gap.
