    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    We have about forty thousand members and God knows how many front stuffers that aren’t on the forum. All have the best way to shoot, the best lube, best method of loading, best of cleaning. All the best. Arcane knowledge held by that shooter alone. You’ll get your best way too

    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    I wasn’t recommending any one do it, in any way. However that solid whoops of air makes sure vent or touch hole is clear.

    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    Black powder residue is effected by humidity I grew up in New Mexico and often shot ten or twenty shots without a wipe Then in California when in the navy did the same. Then moving to Arkansas ran in to high humidity. Four or five shots the round would start getting too tight to load easily...

    Was Dutch right about wiping between shots?

    I no doubt will catch flak for this but I blow down the barrel before loading As some see a danger in putting you mouth over an empty gun some folks ape-ah fecal matter over this. There are several ways of doing this that don’t involve kissing the muzzle. The big advantage of this is that solid...

    How Does a Touch Hole Liner Improve Reliability?

    I built a NWG from Track of the wolf. In keeping with the way they were sold I drilled a straight touch hole but was unsatisfied with the ignition I’ve shot flinters since 1977 and don’t notice a delay, but on this I noticed a delay right away. I shoot ten to fifteen shots in an outing, and...

    NSW Officers fusil loads?

    At 25 yards increased velocity may not raise it much. I have a hard time with out a rear sight and often shoot low. You need see lots of barrel as you sight, almost as if your covering where your aim is Boys get killer groups with front sight only, I never could Practice practice practice, (...
