FA42 is the same chemicals as FA48 but without the ground glass. It's not needed. This site has everything you need to start making primers or caps: https://aardvarkreloading.com/

Amazon is your friend here also. I also use FA-42, for the price of one primeall kit you can buy enough supplies for a lifetime of shooting.

The synthetic mink oil they sell for conditioning your boots. Terrible patch lube.

Are these strictly a replacement or do they have added capacity like the ones that used to be available about 10 years ago?

Probably 500 or so. Most of them I make myself.

Maybe 10 minutes or so? not long.

At least RWS caps are starting to show up on the online vendor's sites. They're pricy but way less than the $50/tin ones on Gunbroker.

A 36 caliber 1860? That's different. Is that a new Pietta thing like the 44 caliber 1851?

Hi over here Sandro! I know it's safe, TC says so. But that is still a very light rifle to be loading up very heavy. I certainly would not want one in 50 caliber. It is, however, very nice to carry all day chasing after deer.

I don't know but my TC Cherokee 45 caliber kind of gets me nervous when the charges get too big. I don't think I'd want that rifle to be a 50 caliber. But I do understand that the factory has tested them and says they work so I'll trust that. They have 13/16" barrels.

I have a TC Renegade here that I converted from percussion to flint. I had to make a new patent breech plug with the hook on the back, and fit everything up. It was fun and came out very nice, but unless you have a lathe and milling machine as well as a good way to finish steel, it's not...

Hilarious! And would actually work.

Cutting the cans into strips and folding them over to double works for me. Also I use one tablespoon of acetone with three drops of Duco. It doesn't take much.

I don't know a huge amount about them but I have one just like it and have been shooting it for many years. Never had a problem, it seems to be a nice well made revolver. I did make a new front sight for it to get it to hit where it is aimed. Otherwise it's all stock and works great.

New Englander. It has a round barrel and is marked 50 caliber. Acraglas epoxy, the runny type, blown into the crack and clamped. Redo the finish and you'll never know it was broken.

Also made a bunch of caps today, as well as 100 paper cartridges for the '63 Sharps. And got a batch of "antique muzzleloader propellant" running in the mill. RRidgely52, I finally figured out if I put the empty caps in one of the little trays that CCI SP primers come in they are easy to fill...

I haven't shot any conicals through mine but did find that it is a whole lot more accurate with .445" balls than it is with .440" ones. And 60 grains of powder was plenty, more than that and it got much less accurate. No, I take that back. I have shot the Lyman 45 caliber Minie' bullets in it...

You can certainly see where Bill Ruger got his design for the Old Army latch and rammer.

Pretty sure Track Of The Wolf has those.

I just bought a jar of buckshot from them, didn't seem to take an unusual amount of time. They are a reputable source for sure.
