    Built a Bear Rifle, .62 cal.

    Great job, bears will be lined up waiting to be shot by that rifle. It's a beauty and the lock appears to be on the correct side to me.

    Help with Ballistol

    I've always used Johnson's paste wax on my TVM stocks. Other than the first few cleanings I have never had any "color" on my cleaning cloth.

    Woodsrunner

    The woodsrunner is a great looking rifle. I plan to place my order this winter once all the fat hog checks clear.

    My fowler arrived yesterday.

    That thing is a beauty! Pattern testing with different wads, powder charges and shot weights will show you what she likes. My smoothbores all seem to like heavy powder charge and more shot than one would think necessary.

    Pheasant season tradition.

    Nice shooting. Looks like a great day. No pheasant near me, but I've been scaring a few grouse and woodcock when not occupied with geese. Keep after them!

    Dirty .45.

    Looks like another great day afield for man and dog! Rabbit stew is always a winner with my clan. For what it's worth, my grandfather swore that apple cider vinegar mixed into a glass of water twice a day cured gout.

    36 rifle load.

    Yup just one ball. I use the same patch as with .350" ball. I don't notice any difference in trajectory at the distances I shoot and the squirrels have never complained.

    36 rifle load.

    My .36 shoots great with 25 grains of 3f, .350" ball and .015" ticking. I also get good results with 000 buckshot in place of cast round ball. Either way I use mink oil or other animal grease for patch lube.

    New Missouri Ban on Use of Lead Shot

    I've had good luck using bismuth shot for ducks and geese. You can order it from several reloading suppliers. I get mine from rotometals. Nontoxic is required here for waterfowl and hunting in waterfowl management areas for other game.

    selecting a caliber for hunting? small game vs big game

    I like .36 and .54 that covers most of the bases. Well the .32 is good as well, oh and the .40 bucks the wind a little better. 45 is also a great caliber. Smoothbores are also a great choice........and that's why I am broke!
