I use 10 oz denim from Hobby Lobby ( I like the store they got principles ) was about .020 also got what I think was drill cloth about .023 but a much corser weave. The denim had a finer tighter weave and loaded easier. They both held up just fine. Every other week I think they have 40% off...

Think your best bet to get it out is to fasten a long brass case of the correct size (4570 maybe) to a cleaning rod, a stud could be threaded into the head and then forced over the brush. This should then bring the brush out.

I've built two rifles of late and all I can say is I think the components are sub par. I'm 75 and have worked just about everything including racecars and airplanes. All I can say is when you pay 300 dollars + or - for a lock or a barrel you should not have to tune it or bend it. My next...

About 20' average for me, I always look at a few, just to see how things are going and to clean up. Have used a few over when I wanted to take a few more shoots and ran short.

Was looking for horn, nothing caught my eye, so stopped at Dixons on the way out and picked up one I've been looking at.

Ask Jake from Everything Black Powder why he bounced the ramrod and his answer was for even compaction.

Went today and bought a few small items, beautiful day last year was to hot.

Makes me want to get one, Nice Build.

If the ball doesn't go to the mark there is something wrong that needs to be remedied, double balled, double charged, or crud keeping it from going down. I certainly would not shoot it, I would try bouncing the rod, putting some patch lube down the barrel and if all failed pull the ball.

Ok, got the chrony out and here are the results. Bounce goes faster and deviation is less according to my test. Wasn't the most perfect test, but it does show a definite pattern and I even hit the gong most shots off hand 45 yds. This was the same rifle and same load 50 gr 3f swiss. PRB. I...

Your reasoning makes sense, but for me with this rifle 65gr of swiss prints a few inches higher than 50gr at 40 yds and I assume the 65 gr is going faster.

Guess I'll have to chronograph them.

Have tried Goex 2f, 3f and Swiss 2f, 3f from 50 to 65 gr. They all seem to shot pretty well as you go up in grains the group just goes up and the difference between Goex and Swiss is surprising. At 65 gr it really kicks only weighs 6 1/2 lb so I shot 50 gr for paper. I will probably move to...

.

The spread on both groups are about the same, just 4 shots on bottom makes it look much better. Why it's to the left beats me, wind maybe. Probably won't change my ways to a bouncer.

Last night I read an old thread about bouncing the ramrod so today I gave it a try. Everything shot at 40 yd, 50 cal 50 gr 3f. The top 3 holes are bouncing the under barrel wood ramrod and the bottom 4 is pushing it down and tapping it once with a brass range rod ( my normal way of loading)...

I use the low power readers in the woods and can see fine at distance. The only time I would need to switch is if lookin at small and close like small print on my phone and that's generally not needed in the woods, but I bring the bifocals just in case.

I have found 10 oz denim at hobby lobby. It's about .020 and works better than .022 pillow ticking (which blows out a bit) and it loads easier, it's because of the tighter weave that it doesn't blow holes I think. Hobby Lobby puts it 40% off every other week or so, that make yard 6 or 7...

Wow nice target.:D

What I've done with some success is use readers in a low power and if you try different ones you can find a power that gives you a happy medium. You won't see everything perfect, but it helps for me. I use 175 or 200, try a pair or 2 thier only about 6 bucks at wally world and maybe you can...
