i can make my own, I tried going .015 over groove diameter but it doesn’t seal well. I guess I could try a .375 diameter but i am just trying to save machining time.

So, I have a delma I want to make a wad punch for my .32 for duro felt experimentation. Problem is I made one .345 but thru the bore scope it doesn’t appear to fill the groove corners. Has anyone else made one that is a tight fight that knows the diameter they made it to?

I could make you one, I’d have to check my material stock. I’d just need the diameter you want. Pm if interested.

No kiddin, not to get off subject but it has relevance to the main topic. I wanted to replace a hub bolt for my truck, guess what, they wanted 48.00 for one bolt!!! No thanks,

I’d like to get a picture in natural lighting, it’s gloomy and rainy here today. Supposed to be better weather tomorrow, if the sun comes out I post another pic of it.

thanks, I tried to take my time and do it right. There definitely a lot more work than I initially anticipated but I think the results were worth the time. I don’t know if I would do another one though, lol.

My goal is to have a reasonably easy to load combination for hunting without being overly tight, but also achieve the accuracy I’m looking for. A wad may indeed leave me that cushion so I can have both. Pedersoli reccomends a .315 ball with .010 patch and 25gr charge. Seems to be about right if...

I use ticking in my 50 cal Lyman Great Plains with very good accuracy. I just don’t wanna have to hammer down a tight ball in a .32. I am skidding about getting too tigh as I feel the ball may deform getting started in the barrel.

I mean it did appear to shoot better with a wad. Seemed to burn cleaner too, I mean 5 shots into an inch at 50 yards can’t be just luck. Of course I don’t have any luck so who knows lol

What about lube? Could that make such a difference?

My local Walmart doesn’t show anything like ticking available for online.

Does Walmart happen to have any material I could try? I have patches coming but if o could pick up something local I could try in the mean time. I already ordered some felt to try, in case a heavier patch doesn’t work. A .10 patch is already getting snug, .015 might be too much.

Hey guys got the Scout today for its first shooting session. I am having trouble blowing holes in patches and shredding them. I first used 1/8 wool wads with .10 tight woven cotton patch lubed with precision lube 2000 plus. That gave me a 5 shot group right at 1” at 50 yards with 25 grains of...

Yea the hammer screw and I took out a small chip from one of the pins at the very end of the barrel. Don’t know how I cleaned out all the pin holes before I drifted them back in. Maybe a small piece of hardened tru oil or slightly bent pin. It’s a very small chip can’t hardly see it but still...

Yep, that gun has squirrels written all over it, lol.

It looks 100 times better in person than in the pics. The lighting sucks in my house. I will say this has one of the best barrels I have seen in awhile from my borescope. No tooling marks and looks very smooth. I only found 2 small imperfections in the grooves that were very small. Should be a...

It look a lot more work than I thought. I draw filed and polished the barrel, chiseled and sanded the stock adding 15 coats of tru oil then used there conditioner and wax. The rear butt plate was shaped completely by hand with a file the sand paper. The one I got was a real rough casting, so it...

The hammer screw was not in the box, I called Dixie Gunworks and there gunna send one out. I just got this one at the local hardware store until the replacement arrives. It’s an EYE SORE!!!

Hey guys, well turned out ok I think. There was a few complications getting it back together. Now I get to shoot it tomorrow. Sorry, the lighting sucks.

thanks for the offer but I found one, thanks
