    .575 Balls - Forty Shots Over A Chronograph

    Semi, I noticed that you numbered the targets from 54 to 61. I presume you must keep lots of records. How do you record, compare and analyze results? I've kept some targets, but wondered about how detailed to get. Thanks, Fuzzy

    Repair Barrel Scratches

    What is the best repair for file marks on a blued barrel? Don't appear to be into the metal so much as messed up the blueing. Yep, I forgot the tape on a "minor adjustment." Looked so simple I didn't take the time to go get the tape. Can I just carefully apply cold blue to the scratches? What...

    Dickert Barrel Lengths

    Mike and Bill, Thanks for the feedback. Lyman Draper might have done a great job researching facts, but looks like proof-reading publications is another matter. I 'preciate it guys, Fuzzy

    Dickert Barrel Lengths

    In doing family research, I found in Lyman Draper's "King's Mountain and It's Heroes" that about 200 men from Washington County, Virgina joined up with a large party of other overmountain men on their way to fight Ferguson and his men in the Carolinas. Draper mentions that most of the 200 men...

    Type D

    It seems this thread has become one of personal issues and opinions relating to the character of men. It says somewhere that the first man to plead his case always seems right until another man comes and examines him. I don't know Danny really well, but I'm happy with the fowler he made me. I...

    Stuck Nipple (Advice Needed)

    Luie, Does this one by chance have a GM replacement barrel? My son got a good deal on a TC .50 Hawken with a drop in GM barrel. He had the same complaint. I had him bring it home to Dad and I noticed it has a set screw holding in the nipple. With that out, it was a piece of cake. Fuzzy

    fowler barrel length 18th C

    I recently read this in "King's Mountain and It's Heroes" by Lyman Draper, that when the men from SW Virginia met up with the Overmountain Men at Sycamore Flats September 25, 1780, the group rejoiced that Campbell's men numbered about 200. They were "mostly armed with the Deckard [Dickert]...

    Hello from Ohio

    Welcome Chris. I'm into reloading too, but only standing next to my rifle. Also, I've got a lot of interest in the F&I and Rev War period and have been reading a lot on the reenactor's section (living history as many prefer to call it)of this forum. My 5th G-Granfather was at King's Mountain...

    Hello from the Ozarks

    Welcome from another guy from NWA, Rogers specifically. Lots of great info here. I've really been sponging it up. I don't have near the expertise of the great people on this forum, but they aren't intimidating, and are most helpful and eager to share. Jump in. Fuzzy

    Howdy from NW Arkansas

    I started viewing this forum several months ago. What a source of information! I've been a BP shooter for maybe 15 years, but was never a serious student of the sport. I've got a few longrifles, a T/C Hawkin and some repro revolvers that I've enjoyed shooting. I retired last June and was...
