    Info on a Pedersoli - loads?

    Sir, My first flintlock was a Pedersoli Kentucky .50 caliber. With my rifle, I've had great success with a .490 roundball, .15-.18 patch, and a 70 grain load of Goex FFFg blackpowder. I prime with about 2 grains of Goex FFFFg. This load gives me nice tight groups at 50 yards off a rest. The...

    Tarp shelter set up style

    Runner, I had found a couple of quality treated tarps at Northern Tool and Freight Harbor at good prices and was seriously considering picking one up to build a shelter for rondezvous. Both of these tarps had the brass grommets. The grommets would be really handy, but I was wondering if some...

    Sir, Clark Brothers is on Highways 29/15/17 just south of Warrenton. There is zero charge for their range. You have to use their targets which are 5 for one dollar, and you have use their ammo.

    Field Dressing, Scent Glands, Heart and Liver

    Pork Chop, I eat the heart but not the liver. As to the scent/musk glands. I carry a small knife specifically for removing the scent glands so that I don't accidently contaminate the meat with the glands. My first task before field dressing the deer is to cut away the scent glands, stow the...

    Pre-lubed Pillow Ticking Patches

    Roundball, They were the .18 T/C pillow ticking patches pre-lubed with NL 1000. I bought all they had of sizes .45-.50 and .54-.56. I had been using the Ox-Yoke brand before. I compared these T/C patches to the Ox-Yoke variety and couldn't find any difference. They were the same thickness...

    Pre-lubed Pillow Ticking Patches

    To All, I lucked out yesterday on getting some more pre-lubed roundball patches for my flintlocks. I was in Dick's Sporting Goods getting some new running shoes and checked out their black powder area to see if there might be something that I could use. Turns out that there were two racks of...

    Casting HB minies

    Sir, I skirmish and shoot a lot of minies. The Lee minie molds work well if you "pace" yourself as to not overheat the molds. The RCBS is a little more difficult to get to the right temperature, but casts effortlessly forever once the mold and center plug are warm enough. I have a 25 year...

    Lyman and RCBS roundball mold handles

    Sir, I can't speak for anyone else, but I have a number of Lyman and RCBS molds. My RCBS and Lyman handles work effectively and interchangably on both RCBS and Lyman molds. Maybe I'be been merely lucky, but I've never had any problem with interchanging RCBS and Lyman handles and molds. This...

    TVM Early Virginia

    Sir, I believe that your differentiation between custom and semi-custom clearly has merit, but there is still room for deviation. You stated, "I think the difference between a custom and a semi custom has nothing to do with the method they are made but "how" they are made, as in a custom gun...

    Flintlock Trade Rifle?

    Recommend that you call Midsouth direct. I inquired about a special order for a Lyman flint Trade Rifle from Midsouth when I was trying to decide what flinter I was going to learn off of while my semi-custom was being built over the next 12 months. Thirty days ago, Midsouth told me they could...
