I recommend you use the nubby starter on your short starter. Ive found when using this, the patch gets folded over the top of the ball and that in turn lessens the chance of the patch catching on your jag on your 4” short starter and the jag while seating the load.

Look for jags on TOTW, the tips are for mounting on ramrods with female threads. They have every size and variety of jags for the ends of ram and range rods.

I have a 50 cal Hatfield, patent breech. It’s my understand Pedersoli bought Hatfield and use the same patent breech design. At my first shoot with it, the patent breech completely fouled. Once cleaned with water and various picks, I met a shooter that never swabbed between shots. He did...

All good tips. I started with a Lee bottom pour that worked fine for smaller projectiles. Once I started pouring 58 cal minies and 54 cal. Rd ball, I realized the larger pours turned out better with a ladle. To cut the sprue, I used a 1 1/4” dowel. To add inertia, I drilled a 1/2” hole in...

Printed May target. Plan to shoot it next week in Jacksonville. My regular range closed, lawsuit by the neighbors. Local DNR range closed for turkey season. Outdoor gun ranges in the low country are scarcer than hens teeth. As always, Thanks for giving us a monthly target!

I’d pop a cap to check the powder channel is clear, and point in a safe direction in case it’s loaded. I shoot an old smooth bore rifle 50 cal., 160 to 200 years old. Found the thread in the drum to be 1/4 X 28. There are many thread varieties available, you’ll have to find the right one...

I recommend the longer jag, with a taper directly behind the jag end. This taper allows the patch some room while cleaning the barrel. The short (button jag) can and will sometimes jam a patch in the bore, which in turn holds the rod in the bore. I have no opinion on the cutting of rod, I’ve...
