    Gardening ..again

    Rained out camping, back home, so transplanted six chestnut seedlings into larger pots. @#$%!! MUD is keeping us out of the garden plots. Drought is broken Planted things are coming up ,but so are weeds that cannot be tilled. Afraid some will be very late, maybe too late.

    Paid $7.50 per hundred at Boggs Creek gun store in Jefferson City Missouri last week. CCI musket caps they'd had for a while. No others available.

    I have two aps my daughter loaded onto my phone that identify nature stuff by taking a picture of whatever it is. Plants bugs. "Naturalist" something and "picture this". Kinda useful sometimes it s wrong. Pest identification is useful, Some bugs are supposed to be good.

    Ruger Old Army Upgrade

    Recently found a scope mount for a ROA I've had for st least 25 years and never used. Took off Pachmyers and stuck the original walnut grips back on. She's happy again. Scoping her wasn't really my thing but maybe someone else has done so?

    Gardening ..again

    Tree felling class - Stihl dealer/service tech said people leave fuel in stuff too long. Ethanol especially separates with water on bottom, gas on top. There is sometimes just enough fuel left in carb to fire/start, but then the motor is trying to burn water. He advises never to store chainsaw...

    Oh, Come On With the Inflated Caps!!

    Found musket caps for $7.50 & have two .58 rifles that have interchangeable nipples (musket and #11). Regardless of the nuances of shooting percussion, my crippled hand really likes musket caps and my old eyes find them easier to find. Plus, at least $4.00 cheaper than the last #10 and #11's...

    Ball diameter and weight

    Try to find the manual ..many are available to download for free ..to find the exact size needed. Otherwise, you'll end up like me with several boxes of balls that fit nothing I own. Same with molds but those cost more money and can't be melted down. We have some expert pistolmen on this forum...

    Gardening ..again

    My son has 275 chestnut seedlings to sell in his basement, all in small pots marked Early, Medium, and Late according to what point in the year the trees will bear nuts. These are all disease-resistant. All are at least a foot tall. I have several of the new disease-resistant chestnut trees in...

    What is it that pulls us into muzzle loading!

    65 years ago, Dad joined the NMLRA and Muzzle Blasts started coming to the house. He bought an original "Cornstalk Gun" (12 ga percussion single barrel) made up of various pieces and we drove out to a country road, stopped the station wagon and he shot it into a tree. I was 10. He bought a...

    carrying loose shot

    Leather shot snake or small leather pouch - to eliminate rattling shot that scares critters. Powder measure is the same for shot as powder b/c I shoot equal volumes, not weight.

    Storing black powder in a shed

    I've had smokeless eat it's own can. Still shooting black powder from the 1960's from oval DuPont cans. Gasoline's more dangerous than black powder.

    Scammers.............

    One reason I finally retired was my loss of empathy for victims of obvious fraud. Greedy people were the easiest to hook. One guy sent 5 grand to England for a Ford tractor. At the time, foreign lottery winners were common as well as the Nigerian government official. Anyway, after 40+ years, I...

    tick treatment

    Georgia state trooper taught a class years ago & advised "Big MaMa" pantyhose would keep ticks from adhering below the waist if worn beneath long pants treated with Deet. Appropriate opening cut by male users and fishnet style not effective. Personally, never tried this. Possibly not...

    tick treatment

    This is the worst year, so far, for ticks here in Missouri that I can remember. Every morning and night, we're checking each other for ticks. A chigger don't hold a candle to ticks. Arghhh..!

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Sounds like you're on the mend. Congratulations! Some folks bounce back better'n/faster'n others, for sure. My wife's a retired R.N., so I got very little sympathy when disobeying doctor's orders. In the long run, of course she was right. Black powder smoke is rumored to have medicinal...
