I don't Dry Ball, I make hollow points. :dunno:

Many years ago when we had a landline in the house, real people would call with scams before AI and such. Many times when they called they would ask for Linda (my wife). I would answer the phone with my manly man voice and say " this is Linda" then I would make them talk to me. I guess this...

Technology has allowed the dirtbags of the world to do this, and there are alot of them. When you have that much contact with dirtbags, it gives a poor opinion of society in general and that's not good for society. I sometimes have to remind myself that there are a lot of good people out...

I shot swagged balls and the only thing I find is .395, I hate positioning that spur straight up on cast balls. If I could find .390 swagged I would try them and adjust the patch. So either will probably work, but one will shot better, probably not by much.

As you can see on the target, 2 inches to the right which should be easy and I'm there. The sights where online with the bore at the start, rear sight was push down the barrel for better focus. (Old eyes) Never seen the formula, but it's just simple math and angles. I think the barrel was...

That's a steel bench and the 3 steel blocks are 1.25 inches, one on each end and one 20" from the muzzle. Don't know why, I just felt that was the point to bend it. The center block had about .080 on top (it's a swamped barrel), before I started turning the clamp. I made several attempt at...

I lowered the center of the barrel about .040 which is the equivalent of raising one end .080. With a 42 inch barrel and 28 between the sights, that's like taking a little less than .060 off the front sight. I think that falls in line with the calculation above. raised the point of POI 3 or 4...

Sight is about .275 inches from the barrel flat. I have both sizes and both are about the same height + or- depending on dovetail depth. I use mine with 2.00 readers and a 5/8 inch black circle with a 3/32 peep stuck on the glasses in the correct position for sighting.

Yes, from Track of the wolf, works well for me. Sometimes I use it in conjunction with peep stuck on my glasses. Today was without the peep on my glasses, I was in a hurry. Old eyes I need all the help I can get.

The barrel is A weight Southern Classic 50 cal. So I bent it, took almost an inch of belly to get .040. Here is the rear sight, the bending set up and the target from 10 minutes ago. Filed the sight down to .150 and the highest shot that says file is the best I could do and I may have pulled...

Like the rear sight, I use it on all my muzzleloaders and a taller one is not available. Was thinkinking of bending the barrel a few maybe .030 lower in the middle, that should be equivalent to about .060 off the front sight.

Now I understand, I need to look at it as I'm moving the POA to the POI and then I am moving a straight line. Been thinking about tweaking the barrel a bite so I don't run out of front sight. I really like the rear sight and can't get a higher one unless I make it. at these calculations my...

I used basically the same math, but this math is for straight lines. The bullet travels in and ark so how does the effect it or doesn't it? Probably will be using more powder in the future maybe 65 or 70 gr and how will that play into it. This is a brand new gun and these were the first...

I want to raise the poi 10" at 50 yards. How much do I need to file off the front sight. 50 cal Rice A weight swamped barrel, the sights are 28" apart and front and back sight are both about 3/10 of a inch high. I'm using a .490 ball, .015 patch and 50gr of 2f Goex. From my calculations I may...

Environmentalist have loggers using non petroleum oils like cooking oils in some places. A friend that's a full time logger was going to Sams club and buying it, one of the common ones,can't remember exactly which one,

Love that old mower with the target on it, Ingenuity. :thumb:

If you buy a NOS kit you can be pretty sure you getting a new un molested rifle. When you buy used there is no telling what you may get. That being said I'm sure a lot of good used rifles are sold on this site.

Was only looking at this as an absolute last resort, don't know what damage it may or may not cause. I'm sure it would damage most finishes. After 4 pages I thought we may be there, last resort that is. :rolleyes:

Don't know if this is advisable or not. Could you heat the barrel with a torch until the lead melted and ran out? Ok let me have it! :dunno:

I understand caliber restrictions on large game, being no smaller then, but not no larger than for small game I don't. What are these officials thinking?
