Nice! How Much?

Welcome from Or-e-gun!

Hi, I have a very light 28 gauge "monkey gun" shotgun. I have used .54 round ball. It is great fun. I have to use much less powder as the gun is so light. If I remember about 60 grain of FFF kicked like a mule. I would start with 30 gr or so....

Hi ba, I have a sxs CVA 12 gauge percussion I bought years ago. I am not an expert but I can tell you where I started and what I do. First, a great reference in the back of the Dixie Catalog. starting loads, patterning etc. are in there. I use 13 gauge wads. they go down good and I do...

Welcome from Oregon! Enjoy the forum.

Best of Luck Troy from Oregon. Welcome

Thank you for sharing your work. I am trying to figure out how to move up to a flinter pistol. Good ideas you had on this one!

I have an older CVA 12 gauge side by side percussion. I have good luck with 70gr FF or FFF. I use about 1.25 oz of 7-1/2 or 8 shot. We shoot the clays, and I have good days and not so good, but I am usually the cause of the not so good. I use a over powder wad, cushion wad and an over the...

Hi Charles. Tell us more!

Howdy All, As I get longer in the tooth, I am finding seeing front back and target focus points harder to obtain and switch back and forth between. I generally find the target then focus on the front sight and then the back to see if I am holding true then to the front sight again before I...

That is a great group. Yes I will be trying different combinations. There is a lot of topic in patch thickness and lube. I use a ballistol mix "moose milk" wet lube. My intention is to do a study with a chronograph and check grouping and velocity over a variety of powder patch materials and...

Hi All, I finished a Kibler So Mountain rifle this summer. Just a great kit. I am not an artisan gun maker at all, but this thing makes me look good. With moving etc. it was just in the last few weeks I got to take it out. This is the first 5 shots. All my shooting so far is with .395...

PM sent.

Well, I finished my Kibler So Mt rifle with a 46in barrel. Shot it one outing so far. Damn nice at a rest, but most of my shooting is off hand and it is a new kind of hard to keep that front site from moving around when it is way off in the distance now. It really is a light rile with a...

Welcome from the Pacific NW!

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated.

Hello M. De Land, You mentioned hot salt tank bluing. I recently saw a u tube on this and am interested. You mentioned using it for 25 years. Would you recommend it? Is it not applicable to this forum, or just harder to do? I get that molten salt is a hazard unto itself.... I could see...

Could go to a carpet store and see if you can get one of those cardboard tubes. When I bought a kit long gun, it came in a full 5 ft long plywood box.
