    Calibre questions

    Those are for conical though correct? Only interested in roundball.

    Calibre questions

    True and when compared to other hobbies, or modern shooting cost per hour is exceptionally cheap once the equipment is purchased. At least with how slow I am, I’m lucky to get off 30-40 rounds in a range session.

    You’re all doing a great job of convincing me to order that 40 cal SMR I’ve been dreaming about.

    solid idea! I’ve really grown attached to 54 and have been using it for all matches myself. maybe a good excuse to get a new gun for myself though!

    Calibre questions

    I think your best off investing your time in the 40, depends on what matches your club runs if there’s a lot of 50-100 yard matches I think the 40 would likely buck the wind a bit better. Good balance my wife has a .36 bobcat that seems to really open up past 50 compared to larger calibers but...

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    They’re intentionally vague with the new ATF rule, it doesn’t even specify any volume. Technically one private sale with a single dollar of profit could make someone a felon. They’re hoping to scare people away from exercising their rights. Funny you can sell 7 cars a year in my state before...

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    26 states are sueing the ATF over the unlawful implementation of this law. It’s extremely vague if you read the ATFs new rule. Upsetting to see our rights be infringed on. Be sure to contact your federal legislative representative and voice your concerns.

    Leaving the range even more confused (Load development)

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, tons of good info on the thread I'm going to be taking the following steps Swapping from dawn/water to Hoppe's Black Powder Cleaner & Patch Lube I'm wondering if my water/dawn maybe isn't slick enough or clearing enough residue I'm going to attempt to...

    Leaving the range even more confused (Load development)

    I'll give it a pass with JB paste, I figure it can't hurt. hesitant to go too aggressive as I'm generally getting groups and clean patches with just the occasional damaged patch. typically, I'm lucky to get a 3-inch group at 50. What's so frustrating is finding 3 clean patches and two that are...

    Leaving the range even more confused (Load development)

    Went out the range today to try out my new powder, switching from swiss fffg to goex fffg. previously was running 60 of swiss so I tried 60, 70, and 80 grains of goex. Puzzled by the results, 3 shots touching is as good as I've ever done at 50 yards, and I achieved that with two of these...

    Kibler Fowler available.

    Any chance said stain kit will be offered once these start shipping or would that be a few months out?

    New Goex powder vs. the Old Goex powder

    Anyone else have feedback on the new powder? Considering putting in an order on a case and weighing out if it's worth splurging for Swiss again (Didn't seem to make a noticeable difference for me previously) seems like a huge velocity spread on some that testing!

    Awfully quiet over at Kiblers.

    Looks like the same barrel profile, promising results from your posts! Beautiful gun!

    Awfully quiet over at Kiblers.

    Good to know, guess I need to get a .610 mold! Anyone know what the expected weight is?

    Awfully quiet over at Kiblers.

    Bit the bullet and put in a pre-order for a 20 gauge with standard maple. First smoothbore, first kit! Looking forward to it! Seems huge hopefully it’s not too much heavier than my Lyman GPR.

    Maybe better patch lube option?

    I’ve really enjoyed using Dawn/Water, I always seem to push fowling into my ignition chamber on my percussion cap rifles causing misfires. This is likely user error on my part but the dawn/water keeps me shooting with less frustration as I don’t swab until I fire 10-20 shots and it usually comes...

    I believe this is what's referred to as a traditional breach there's no subchamber/patent breach. but I'm not an expert on the terminology.
