You should be able to shoot RB as well, you might not be able to use maximum charge but with moderate loads RB should work quite well in 1-32 barrel.

I have used Ramin for ramrods by selecting a few from large bins for zero runout. Dont waste your time. Either brass rod or split hickory are your best choices. The noodles arent too bad.

The "Deluxe-Plus" version has the "toiletries" .. on a stick, and by the way, the red and white version explaination is right on.

If I hadnt forgotten to cut the patch at the muzzle and had the 2' strip hanging out of the muzzle like a wind flag Id have done the same thing recently. Its easier than ya might think. :idunno:

"I am thinking of doubling the wall of the neck with extra leather, to give it stiffness, which will help keep it closed should the bag be upended, and the plug fall out. To open, simply pinch the sides of the neck to let a ball come out or go in the neck one at a time. :hmm:" Ive doubled the...

I use hammered copper wire. No spark worries (I admit I havent worried about that anyway), the hammering hardens it so it doesnt bend easily and its cheap (3" of 12ga wire).

Can you get that with the Gore-tex "cow's knee"?

Be carefull with the dremel. It gives the regular guy the ability to make massive errors in a fraction of the time it used to take.

That "stupid guy" sure gets around. People ought not let him anywhere near their firearms.

My range rod is 3/8" brass rod, threaded each end 10-32.

Mount the flint bevel down, that will raise the place first struck on the frizzen. Ive been meaning to try that Davis Deerslayer trigger swap although the trigger on mine isn't too bad.

+1 on the Monk's Cloth. It looks like basket weave leather decoration, 4-5 threads over and under to make the cloth, its thick and chars well. Wally World..

I vote for Ken's version :thumbsup:

I don't care what the other guys say Swampy.. You clean up pretty good, Nice hat too. :thumbsup:

My GPR definitely prefers the flint bevel down and 1+ for Rich Pierce's flints.
