I had a tube of Bore Butter back about 1973-4. Think I lubed maxiballs with it. I didn't know it was still manufactured till reading about it on this forum. It must be some perty good stuff or it wouldn't still be around. Interesting history on it.

Now let me get this straight. You have had a stuck ball in a rifle starting August 8th and you just got it out the 20th of September........... That right there has to be a stuck ball removal world record if there ever was one! :oops: Congradutations! :thumb:

Black powder. Sometimes I have a hard time cypherin the type of powder in a horn. Can usually tell by looking at it close.

I needn't have worried. He was off hunting. 400 pound bear with his .58 flintlock rifle. No other details now. Just got this picture in an email.

I have many of both. The new made modern barrels are more accurate than the old barrels. But I don't have any old barrels that are new. In short, I don't know. Guess I just wanted to increase my post count.

Where is it?

Where is that anyway?

Solitude is when you are by yourself. Who's foot is that? Bigfoot? 😄

With and around people. I like people.

I tried it many years ago. Pan lubed with it but lube would fall out of the lube grooves. I added two tablespoons of EV olive oil which made it gooey which made it stick to bullets. It didn't work any better than my home made lube so it went into the pot with my regular lube. It does have a...

Excellent video, Ron. Your video will help shooters who have no resources, (tools), skills or knowledge. Grease, a grease gun and a grease fitting to fit the breech is all the neophyte needs to remove a stuck bullet. One could use your method in the kitchen to get the job done. Having said that...

Couple months ago at a match in Montana I placed four shots in the ten ring and one out. Think it scored 47. Standing at fifty yards. Not bad for me. Was shooting my new Hawken type rifle. Last weekend used the same rifle to win a ten shot match at fifty yards standing with a score of 87. Two...

What ignited your interest in shooting muzzleloader? Looking through my dads old west magazines when I was in grade school. They used to have articles on old shooting matches, types of rifles, how they were loaded and shot and what they shot at.

We all started somewhere and we were perty dumb but we kept it to ourselves. I always did. Except the time I overloaded that 12 guage a little and tattooed the wife's face with powder blast. Leaky breech plug. She had a nice straight black line down the side of her face. She wasn't much to...

Try reading the first post then wait a few days and read the last posts. Finding out how the shooter actually got it out is the most interesing part for me. I think these stuck bullet threads are part of a new American trend where some are reveling in their stupidity/ignorance. They like...

I was having trouble getting on paper at 200 yards. Mike suggested I shoot at a gong on the 300 yard berm and everyone would watch. Well I was shooting a 700 grain bullet and 100 grains of Swiss 1 1/2. Hit the gong dead center but knocked it clean off the berm. That was fun and got a good...

If you had a stuck ball in a 46 inch 62 caliber barrel, how many pumps on a grease gun handle would it take to push the bullet out?

The T handle lighning rod would be more spectacular.........

Another one. This one is real lively. I like it. :)

Back in the eighties I had a CVA rifle wth a horrible bore, but it shot just fine. I wanted to take it apart to see exactly why the bore was so rough. People at work told me not to remove the breech plug. They said "it's not supposed to be removed", thay said it was "made so that it could not...
