    “Dry ball”

    I'm also a member of the "No ball club" with my Fowler. Powder, wad, no ball then another wad. It sure sounds funny when it goes off and no recoil. It's better than a dry ball though 😁

    That's some fine shooting 👍With these old welders eyes I'm not sure I could even see them at that range.

    Rained here most of the day so I fashioned a very basic powder horn. I'll get the lobe cut and plug installed this week.

    November 30 is National Mason Jar Day!

    Well, I didn't keep up with the high standards from above but enjoyed the afternoon immensely. It's a beautiful day here in S.E Indiana so I'm taking it all in before the weather turns cold and windy.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Disassembled my L&R lock to clean and polish everything in preparation for my winter smooth rifle winter build. Took nearly an hour to get the ****/hammer off but a little heat from a torch does wonders. Also took inventory of parts I'm missing so I can get them ordered. Never used a Colrain...

    OK, so it may not be HC correct.......

    OK, so it may not be HC correct.... but I hate seeing parts go to waste. I found a treasure trove of parts that have been hidden in my garage for years, so why not use them? I've been itching to do a winter build and I'm thinking smoothbore barn gun. Most of the small parts like RR thimbles and...

    Shot my old .45 flinter today and shot great groups but everything is about 1 1/2" - 2" right at 25 yards. I'll do some sight tuning this weekend. Me thinks either the front or rear has been bumped.

    DIY touch hole plug for cleaning

    After shooting it was time for cleaning and there I was plugging the touch hole with a toothpick again in able to pour water down the barrel. This works ok if you have perfectly round toothpick but generally you always get some leakage. As I was doing this I noticed a pair of small c- grip vice...

    Knocked the dust off my old .45 cal. in preparation for some shoot time tomorrow. I built this nearly 40 years ago. It's got some dents, dings and scratches but it still performs better than I do. There was no character in the wood so I put fire to it and gave it some.

    Rust protection.

    After cleaning I use WD 40 for water displacement then 3 in 1 oil within a few days.
