    Sight movement

    Paint the threads with clear nail polish. Worst case, coat the screws with blue Loctite. I reread your post. If it is a front sight dovetail, it should be tight. The only idea I have is to stake it in place with a punch.

    How do you eat them

    You must cook them with salt. I like a little Texas Pete on mine. This is one of the best films I've ever seen https://www.folkstreams.net/films/its-grits

    Who Hunts Reg Seasons With Their Muzzleloader?

Now, bow hunters start first on Sept. 15th and ruin it for us. We have to start Oct. 1st. I really want another muzzleloader season near the...

    Rust protection.

    Ross Seyfried was one of my favorite gun writers. He once wrote an article about all natural lubes on muzzleloaders. His advice was to never let petroleum products near it. I've been using T/C bore butter for 30yrs., inside and out. I've never had any rust. I've left it loaded all year many...

    Any SxS trap shooters out there?

    Pattern your gun on a small dot at 13 yds. It should be at least a tad high. Dead-on or low won't work for trap.

    FFg in a .45

    Thanks. Since we're on this subject, I wonder what would the safe limits be on each burning rate if you were limited in a survival situation? Could you use FFFFg in tiny charges in many calibers? Or Fg in the other direction? Just curious if it's ever been tested to see what is a safe limit.

    FFg in a .45

    Is it ok to use FFg black in a .45 caplock? I have plenty and don't want to pay shipping on a new order. Anyone tried it? I always shot FFg in my .50cal.

    To Bounce or not to Bounce

    It's always kinda nice to know the range to the target you shot. I have no idea why people leave that part out.

    Firing a Cap Before Loading

    One cap? I pop about 5 and dry patch the bore, then load it. Then a lightly natural lubed patch on top of the bullet. Never had a misfire in 25yrs. And it stays loaded for a year sometimes.
