    Ballistol Patch Lube Experiment

    I've been trying to find a simple patch lube/bore solvent/rust preventative system to simplify my black powder travel box and hunting bag. I have been using Bore Butter for lube, TC's #13 to clean, and BC's Sheath to protect metal. All of the products did an excellent job, but it's just too much...

    Retrieved Roundball From Deer

    I shot a nice little buck with a flintlock that I made, and I retrieved the ball while field dressing it. This is my first black powder kill, so I think I'll put the ball on a necklace to savor the memory. Anyway, the shot was a shade under 50 yards and the buck was quartered towards me. The...

    Copper Canteens

    I'm thinking of buying a copper canteen from Backwoods Tin & Copper and was wondering how safe they are. I plan to carry only water my canteen, but I'd like to be able to boil the water in the canteen before I drink it. Will the copper have any problems if I do this? -Clint Buenger

    Any Texas Goin Traditional?

    I spent most of my spring semester at Texas A&M in my garage building a rifle, and I can't wait to take it into the woods this hunting season. It is an Isaac Haines flintlock in .50 cal and it shoots like a dream. My hunting load will be 75gr of FFF Goex pushing a .490 PRB, and I'll always be...
