Didn't someone just post a 500 yard gong shot with a long rifle?

Well from the majority of the comments here I think I'm just going to fore go doing this activity, my fingers have too much to do in this life still.

I have cartridges, I would not be pouring or measuring powder in any way from a source. I believe they are 60-70g charges

I there, I have a Blunderbuss, and as many know one of the hall mark feature is the flared muzzle for easier loading on a stage coach or navy ship that is in motion. As a fun activity I wanted to fire and load it as if I were in a stressful encounter that the blunderbuss was made to be used in...

I have a French Blunderbuss from Veteran arms, and yeah the barrel is hard to clean a bit because what fits snuggly at the breach is loose at the muzzle, so swabbing is a bit of a PITA on consistency. I also wouldn't consider it light per se, but its small and a blast to shoot. The shot spread...

Something more East could be more accessible to a lot of people including myself from Florida. Friendship is a 12hr+ drive from north Florida, anyone in the south FL could be as much as 18 hours.

At that rate I would just make some home made powder, yikes! A little charcoal, stump remover, and garden sulfur crystals go a long way.

Its okay, looking at the prices, they are not even worth it unless you are buying in the 25lb range anyways, even then its on par with other stores. At 5lb, its not worth it at all.

Personally I've lost a screwdrivers way before any quality issues come to light so I like to keep it on the cheap. Maybe one day I'll get a good work setup where I can keep my tools in one place.

The US is way too big and way too few carriers of BP for this to be viable. Unless we are paying like $200 for delivery. They are sold out of all 2F and 3F except for Swiss 3F. Are we looking at a different site?

I'll probably never buy a LH gun, maybe an ambidextrous unmentionable, but I enjoy letting people fire my guns and since I can handle it both ways, I wouldn't want to shut everyone out just to make a it a little easier on myself. :) Keep up the videos!

I'm a relatively younger guy, and I actually discovered I had cross dominance after a while. Quickly switched to shooting left handed to match my left eye dominance, and I found things to be much easier then shooting with my dominate hand. Shooting lefty on a bolt action always makes people...

Forgive my ignorance, but when were adjustable sights invented/implemented main stream into these things?

I found coffee filters work pretty well as cartridge material.

Darn if I didn't just buy 300 round ball this would have been a good time to start to get into casting. Seems like RB is easier to get a hold of than powder nowadays.

I'll be driving out in a few days to provide support for the restoration company I work with. From what I'm hearing it's pretty rough.

Why are you going for a smoothbore over a rifle? Motivations for choice and why you want the gun will help people give good advice. I know Kibler is soon to be releasing a Fowler piece which by its nature is a smoothbore shotgun type, which might be better than the colonial which is designed...

Awesome video, but I dare I ask how would you accomplish this with a flintlock without the threads that the percussion includes. I don't see that grease tip working on a touch hole. Let the games begin again!

How much skill was involved in making the kit?

Are you asking Jim or the other staff? I emailed Jim about something and he gave me a very personable response with detail in like 2 days. Next time I emailed him I had no response until I called the number provided on his website, and the lady read the email and helped, I email her from now...
