Some nice woodworking there, your work?

Tried this concoction years ago and stayed with it. Prepare grits according to directions on package, in my case 1/2 cup grits, 2 cups water. When almost done stir in a generous amount of shredded cheese, then crack two eggs add to pot and stir until yolks are gone and whites are cooked...

For some reason I’m getting more of the felt wads arriving on target, some with enough force to puncture the cardboard target backing. This is the second time this summer that one set the cardboard on 🔥. I can see the hazard of a woods fire if hunting with black powder revolvers.

Lubed wad embedded in cardboard backer.

From personal experience, a ball a few inches from the muzzle will split the barrel. At least in a 44 caliber percussion revolver.

I’ve read, the sum total of my knowledge, that the problem can arise from the projectile not being firmly seated is due to the air being compressed by the explosive effect of the black powders detonation. Question I have would that compression reach a greater PSI than the black powder its self...

I shoot mine on a regular basis. The brass cases I got with it are a pain to use. I bought the white nylon ones. A . 457 round ball gives me as good a group at 50 yards as my old eyes can aim those rather small battle sights. I’ve reloaded the cases around 6 times now and lost only two that...

I stopped using them for that reason. I use an old Lyman electric pot and the zinc created a crust around the bottom of the pot.

Just a note. I have one, they are nice little shooters. Not as pretty as that one, shooting dirties the brass up. 😁

The very fact that it does mix with water makes it a superb rust protector. Moisture evaporates, the oil doesn’t, so the oil residue remains and keeps working. If you will recall petroleum oils float on water.

My club, mostly from complaints of a black powder shooter, banned tobacco smoking on the firing line. I found it a little odd however as we create more flame and smoke than any cigarette smoker and the firing stations are close together. Points out the necessity of keeping powder and caps...

That idiot was a little mixed up. Smokeless WILL and Does accumulate on a range, I doubt little or any will from a black powder gun unless some long gunner is way over packing his barrel. Private gun club. for 55 years, current one 45 years, winter shooting at a Florida county owned range 20...

82, love how these old threads get rejuvenated. Can’t say the the same for aging. We are on a cruise, Bermuda, the walking is killing me, otherwise enjoying it. 😜

My oldest lives on a city lot in a small New England City, population 55k or so. But his back yard backs up to a designated green area and across the street an unused Mobile Oil tank farm, because deer and turkeys thrive in these settings deer and turkeys are frequent visitors. He finally gave...

Not a chemist but “oils” in general don’t evaporate, but they will chemically combine with oxygen and lose viscosity over time.

POV. Raised on a farm, subsistence farm, left and joined the Navy. Married bought a house, 50x100 lot in a city. 53 years now. Reached a point now thinking about getting lawn service. Would not have it any other way.

It’s also a Blue State that’s becoming more and more anti 2nd. Unfortunately.

Officially it was Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Government struck the Platation bit a couple years ago.

I assembled these for my three sons as Christmas presents two years ago. The cost was well north of $250 for each. The Pietta 1851, from EMF was more than that. This past Christmas I added the Tylor’s conversion cylinder in 38 Long Colt, along with 50 rounds of hand loaded cartridges. You got...
