I’m running low on 4 wing musket caps. RWS was recommended for my sharps breech loader but I can’t find any. CCI work but but can’t find them locally either.

Never had the flour type. But cornbread can be skillet fried as well. A staple while growing up on in a farm in Ohio. The same only different …..! 😁 Also referred to as Johnny Cakes in some parts.

Nope none that I’ve ever be able to come up with. These days shoot what you got.

I’m guessing there are millions of caps stashed away all across this country in peoples homes. Stashes that go unused for decades. Twice now I’ve bought two different one thousand cartons of CCI 11’s and Remington F.C. from a fellow who buys up estates. $30 a thousand. Old stock probably the...

“Things” are one of the reason I plan to die in this house. 53 years in one location and counting and the bride and I have pretty much used up the available space with “things”. I don’t want to deal with the disposal of all the junk. Let the sons deal with it. 😜 Not hoarders mind you, more like...

Went to the range and shot off the rounds pictured in post #7,149 Plus another 50 in the 1873 Winchester. Super fine May Day here in Rhody.

That $65 for a position called “ House Service” I took the position as a “get my foot in the door” as I wanted to get out of the PD in my city. 16 weeks later I won a bid for Cable Splicer and the pay jumped to around $80 a week gross. New England Tel had a 5 year program that lead to a rating...

Not exactly MuzzleLoading, but black powder, paper cartridges for the Sharps Carbine. Step one is closing off the Hahn cardboard tube. Step two, powder and bullet. Finished Cartridge

You sure it’s the lube and not a patch/ball problem or just a very rough bore.

And oh Goex gets up and running and offers a good bulk price Grafs will switch again. IMO it’s their bread and butter line and they negotiate for bulk prices.

In 1967 I started working for the phone company. Starting pay $65.00 a week. 30 years later I retired, base pay $900 a week. Same job same work. Bought a house in 1970 for $12,500. This year the citify accesses same house for $350,000. I believe they call it INFLATION. 😳

I’ve ordered in the neighborhood of 25 pounds a year from Graf for the past eight years or so. Always their house brand. At first it was Schutzen then Goex now back to Schutzen. Just got a 10 pound order last month. Personally I don’t see any difference. For general Target work or simply...

Shooting Full soda cans are more fun. 😁 and you don’t have to walk down range to see a hit. Shake them vigorously then throw as far as your arm will allow. After the first shot keep them hopping until out of range. 😁

All fiction novels, Science and Fantasy, Detective or Adventure any thing except romance. For decades it was paper backs, since the mid 90’s, Digital downloads first on a kindle now on my IPhone. I’ve several hundred purchased thru Amazon on the phone. Had a subscription to “Scribe” for a few...

Haven’t read all the post, so if already noted pardons. All vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature, Hydrogenated oils, such as Crisco, are solid at room temperature, as in not a pourable liquid, as are animal fats like lamb, pork or beef tallow. All my black powder lubes are bees wax...

No souls lost I hope. Stuff is replaceable.

Your talking rifle, no experience here with that but an 1860 Colt army revolver uses two pins to align the barrel. I used stainless siding nails to replace both on one of mine. Several years and hundreds of rounds fired and they are both still intact b

Just a thought. By federal and most state fire regulations black powder if stored in an inclosed space like cabinets should have a weak wall and top construction. Preferable wood. Metal boxes and spaces like refrigerators are potential bombs.

A finished basement with two gun safes for the higher dollar stuff, conventionally firearms, and important papers and collections. A wall mounted display rack for the numerous percussion pistols. The house has a monitored, police dispatched, alarm system accessible by my cell phone app...
