The original.

I'm in North Carolina, from the mid '60s until about 5 years ago, we owned 3 farms, about 850 acres. We raised corn, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. I have seen over 50 deer in our fields, mostly does. I have killed many, prefer them to eat. The only way to control the population when it gets that...

Welcome from Randolph County NC..

Who cares, I've used it for about 50 years, no adverse effects.. :)

Look up how to make Moose Snot, pretty simple to make. I went to using SnoSeal years ago.

Welcome from the Piedmont of NC..

Of course there is a gap there, leave it alone...Wood can swell and patchboxes can stick, there needs to be a gap there. Seal the underside and the inside of the box to help reduce swelling. I would also notch the lid to make it easier to remove. This is also why brass patch boxes evolved.

I would suggest first buying .530 balls and seeing if they group, if not, go for .535 or .526, depending upon how tight the .530s are. Find what size that gun prefers, then buy a mold.

I keep mine in the patch box.

Bob Watts, .45 caliber that I bought in 1977 at his shop in Stone Mountain, Georgia...Gave $470.00 for it... :)

Look at the Lewis & Clark journals...They called it a shot pouch...

Are you talking about a canvas bag (haversack) used as a carry all or the leather shot pouch used to carry what you need to reload your rifle?

I built this one in the late '80s, it took me over 2 years and 200 hours to finish..It is a .54 caliber with set triggers...I retired it last year when I finished my .54 caliber Woodsrunner...I also have a Bob Watts flintlock in .40 caliber that I bought in 1977, it's used for squirrels, head...

After you load, remove the nipple and see if you have powder there.

With the original front sight, most shot about 8 inches low at 50 yards, Jim came out with a taller rear sight to remedy this. I left mine alone, just filed down the front sight so it hits about an inch high at 50 yards.

Shoot it before changing. Looks can be deceiving. I would have tried it with powder in the pan before buying.

Sounds like you need a Woodsrunner in .54 and a Fowler...I got mine in 16 gauge as I already have two .54 caliber rifles and a .40..

You gonna shoot them between the eyes or behind the ear?
