If you bring a date, can you bring one for me too?

I have shot my Old Army out to 100yds in Silhouette, effective?? I wouldn't want to stand there and have me take a pot shot. It did knock the pig over, just. The issue is speed, you just can't get it fast enough for a straight shot, banana trajectory, but was it fun? you bet. Turkeys and rams...

If you mean Copha, which is refined coconut oil then I found it was way too hard for me. It need something else to keep it at that consistency that can be used on a patch etc. My go to is Beeswax and enough (read lots) Peanut oil to make a soft pliable consistency. Works for me, nice on the...

Hey guys I’m not here to tell you mine is right and yours is wrong but this is the way I do it. The match rules that I shoot to demand grease over the balls, no argument. So for the past 40 years I have shot my ROA with 457 balls and grease over the front. Is it dirty 🤔, define dirty, I have...

Good old Woodside, remember going there once as a kid with the Scouts. Froze my nuts off I remember right. Not in the ADF but work within a unit at Enogerra

Cast for sure, but unless I missed it somewhere, no one has mentioned stay away from water!!!! If your casting outside and it starts to rain, one drop of water in that pot will empty it. Hot lead is not something you need to deal with over you or anything else.

I have a traditions trapper, it is heavy out front and I find the front trigger just a tad too far away for me to shoot it competitively. In saying that it is accurate, right charge, right patch etc. Good luck

I’ve used Vaseline as a sealer on revolvers, don’t think it competes with most proprietary brands or even most home made lubes. But it’s cheap and available everywhere.

Pie floater, there is no accounting for some peoples taste😁. Having lived in Adelaide during my formative years I am well acquainted with them, never tasted one. I’ve seen the remnants left in the gutter around the pie van on a late Sat night after being on the turps.

Thanks mate, no I don’t know anyone. Been shooting BO pistols for 40 years and picked up my first front stuffer pistol about a year ago, just for fun. Got the inkling that a rifle may be fun, actually picked that up during the week so am yet to get it dirty, hopefully next weekend. Don’t have...

Thanks Coinneach, will be visiting that supplier next week for a top up. Most of my “general” supplies come from Viceroy, excellent service. Postage from the states doubles the cost. Yeah Rebel have gone a little greedy.

Tasbay I know where you are coming from, postage from the US is killing us. I have gone to buy from different companies only to bail at the postage costing 5 times more than the item. As you said $5 worth of nipples and $50 worth of postage

In there last week, kept walking.

Yep, would have Ballistol or Hoppes as an aftershave any day of the week. I did once...just once put a dab of Hoppes behind each ear whilst going out for dinner with my wife, dang woman made me wash it off:(

They sort of did, but you have to look at early cartridge guns. Is not the 38/40 projectile .401 diam? So they came up with the cartridges dimensions from boring through C&B cylinders and just changing the easy bits e.g. "the barrel", maybe the 36cal is/was just too underpowered, the larger the...

I'd be worried too about the barrel and cylinder not marrying up. When you do fire it, let me know, if I see any bits on my travels I'll bring them back.

Saw one of these once....dangerous as...just ask Sylvester. Anything with two heads HAS to be dangerous

I wonder if what inside the fish has gone hard over the years, what used to be soft (eg foam etc) to hold the oil has now hardened to the point of being solid? Dogfax does it look round? mishapen? can you scape some off for better identification. I can't see it being powder to prime a flintlock...

The items in the box look very much like plug gauges, scoring gauges that is. The plug has an appropriate sized diameter plug for the hole in the target and there is a flange on the outside to bring all variations in caliber sizes to one dimension. Check out gauges for ISSF, NRA etc. I would...

Yes, it was a sad day when Bill Ruger died and they took the gun off the list the next day...almost.
