    The Rifle Shoppe Question

    I've been looking at some new projects and in my research on Baker Rifles I came across The Rifle Shoppe The Rifle Shoppe, Inc. - Home Page mentioned in britishmuzzleloaders' Youtube videos when he is talking about his Baker rifle. From my understanding their kits are of great quality and given...

    SOLD Parker Hale 1861 Enfield Musketoon for sale

    I've decided to sell my Parker-Hale 1861 Enfield Musketoon in near new condition to fund other projects. It has an excellent bright bore with very little handling marks. Lock works perfectly. Any wear and brass tarnished is from storage. Early production rifle Serial # 192X from early 1970s...

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    Just an update. I made up a simple wooden plate with correctly sized holes, to help scrap off the extra lube off the freshly lubed cartridges, which also makes the lube more consistent around the cartridge. That seemed to do the trick. I tried the "sized" cartridges in a friend's Parker Hale P53...

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    Ya with Goex under transition/modernization. Hopefully it comes back soon. I've been using Schutzen and Swiss. I know the standard service charge was about 68 grains (2 1/2 drams) of musket powder which is close to 1.5 to 2 FF, but that would be one hell of a wallop in a musketoon. I was...

    What powder charge are you using for your Parker Hale Musketoon?

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    That might be an issue for me as I'm lubing the outside of the paper cartridge as per the 1860 cartridge specs for the Enfield cartridge. I don't see the paper cartridge surviving the sizing process in a sizing die.

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    I actually found them very easy and fun(depending on you idea of fun) to make. It just bugs me that I've done all the proper research and material procurement and I can't get a repeatable reliability. I think I'm going to have to buy a few of Brett's cartridges and see how far off I am. Ya I've...

    Your video was one of the ones that I used for reference on inserting the bullet. Are you using the cartridges made by Brett, by chance?

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    I did mean the 1860 pattern English cartridge with the .550 sized swagged bullet that Brett makes. I bought a box of those bullets(great quality by the way) and a cartridge paper template from forth-armoury.com for the 1860 Enfield Cartridge cartridge that uses the .550 bullet. I wanted to make...

    Anyone else use the old Thompson Center Maxi Ball system bullets for hunting?

    Have you ever chronographed your load to see how fast it is coming out of the barrel?

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    I have a question for you on your experience with the Enfield cartridge. I made up some 1960 pattern cartridges like the ones you are using. The issue I'm having is that after I lube the paper cartridges they seem to be tight in the bore and don't go in as easy as you would think. What was your...
