I gave away a Woodsrunner rifle a few months ago. Pretty sweet gun for sure.
I wouldn't accept a rifle from Kibler for tests. If I used one of his, it would be a purchased gun.
I want to keep the channel "commercial" free as much as possible.
Thanks for the thoughts though.....
Oh..I can pick some conicals up.
I'll get over to Friendship soon to try this again
I know a fellar over there that has one of those chrono devices to use.
Thanks for the idea..
Here is the brush I use. It fits on the end of a rammer.
The patches are usually wet because they occasionally come off during cleaning.
If you can find a brass /wired brush, I'd say it would be better than this one.
And....thanks for watching the videos....
For less than $5.00 & using tools...
I've never tried conical bullets in these guns. I'm just an ol' round ball shooter.
I need to follow up on that to see what is needed to shoot.
What does others use??
I try to get over there 8-9 times a year. Usually shooting with Barry Geipel making some kind of shooting video. I will be there the 1st Saturdays of both National shoots-- usually to run cameras & pick up supplies. It is too busy for this lousy shooter to shoot on those days. I'll get back over...
Amen brother.....more room for Swiss?? I'm with you on that..!!
If it wasn't for the hazmat, I'd give it to you.
I'll probably give it away sometime this summer to a new shooter when I start traveling & shooting with viewers of the BPMS Channel.
Once I tried Schuetzen & Swiss, I lost total interest in Goex.
The Swiss & Schuetzen powders are VERY reliable. If I do my part correctly, the powder works.
I still have 4 pounds of the old 3F Goex and haven't used in 5 years.
The main reason is......cleaning the guns using the Swiss followed...
Not going to happen.
There is a heavier demand for primers for modern shells. They can't make them fast enough & will have plenty of buyers for them upon being available for sale.
The BP market is too small for Speer to even mess with except 1 maybe 2 runs a year.
When Kibler finally offers a Fowler kit for sale, he better have a truck load of kits already made.
If his kit price is reasonably priced and I say it will be...
He won't be able to make them fast enough to satisfy the demand.
Mrs Maniac & I worked the Chocolate Festival in ol' Washington ( Kentucky ) last Saturday.
I spent the day walking streets allowing kids to pet my skunk ( Pepe Le Pew ) and hold a flintlock rifle for pictures.
Also, spent part of the day in a 1787 log cabin talking to visitors about frontier...
Not worth the TV network's time.
The Black powder community is such a small segment of the shooting sports industry
the advertisers won't support it. That is why there are no famous personalities.
