I love a tight patch and ball combo. Pillow Ticking makes for a great gas seal. It's also thick enough to prevent blowout. Walt

I went looking for more patches for tomorrow. Much to my surprise, I realized the ones I was using were not Bumbling Bear Grease. They were from T/C coated with Bore Butter. No wonder they seemed a bit thick and well-coated! Walt

Thanks! Shots were all bench-rested. I agree with everything you said! Will work on variables tomorrow! Walt

More Targets.

I picked this up at our annual Heritage Fair in February. It’s a Traditions Frontier Gander combo with two barrels; 36 and 50 calibers. I read somewhere Gander Mountain sold them. Back in the 90s, they sold this set, but the 50 cal was a 1-66” twist. Both of these are 1-48" Oh well. I plan on...

Fortunately, I only live about 20 minutes from the Gun Works. I haven't purchased any for a while so I don't know whether they're still limiting them to one Tin per week. They stopped shipping them when the shortage started. I think the last price I paid was $13.25. I prefer Remington so the...

I thought it was decent. Pretty gory, though. Three people got kilt five minutes into the first episode. I was kind of bummed when it wasn't renewed. Walt

That is still a "yet" for me. I've been close a couple of times, though! Walt

Naw but there was a part where the Pilgrim asked a naked Charlton Heston, "Are you going to shoot me with your ramrod Mister Tyler?". Walt

We had a guy in our club who started with an Inline because that's all he could afford at the time. He now has two side-locks, one Percussion, and one Flint Plus a Primitive Camp. Walt

Not all Lyman's were Uberti. Mine is Armi San Marcos. Walt

My Green River Forge 62 caliber Trade Gun with extra 50 cal RB barrel. Walt

I would like a remake of Howard Hawk's 'The Big Sky". Walt

This came in my inbox this morning: https://muzzle-loaders.com/products/rws-11-percussion-caps-no-1075-250-to-1000-pack-1?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&_kx=U0leJC1tYzIQ-CBg7MWpUYTxrXbLTIeDdN5-Pl5VOrY.BwF3Xt Good Luck! Walt

A club member let me shoot his Flintlock rifle a couple of times at a Match. I had a hard time ignoring the flash. The pan is about 6 inches or so from your face but when it goes off, it seems like it's right in front of your eyes. He talked me into buying one. I went out and practiced a...

I have a different address 2379 Mount Hope Road Walt

There are two types of jags out there. One has a tapered top and the other is just the end that holds the patch. The patch can ball up in the tapered area and become stuck. Since I've switched to the other referred to as a "Button" Jag, I haven't experienced that problem again. If yours is...

It's my understanding that Mr. Hoyt does not tamper with CVA or Traditions Patented Breech barrels. Walt

My buddy has a Lee .490 mold that throws a .485 ball. Walt

My local ML shop sells a course stainless-steel wool. They recommend using that. I’ve found it at the Dollard Tree for less money. I wrap it around a smaller caliber brush. Otherwise, I start with Permatex Valve Grinding Compound from the Auto Parts Store. Next, I use J-B Bore Cleaning Compound...
