Dirty .45.

[Britsmoothy]

After shooting the other day I didn't clean the 45.
I've quit panicking about cleaning muzzloaders, unless they get wet I don't worry.
Today I wanted another rabbit so I popped a cap on a rodded patch and set off.
I want to say it was a long shot but the first rabbit I got a chance at was only 10yds or so. Never look a gift horse in the mouth I took the shot.

I went on to miss two others so quit.
Jess and I took a break and then set of for home.

I clean the skinned carcass and fillet the meat off it.
Jess gets some boiled.
My meat gets chopped up to make a stew or shallow fried dish.

Next you're going to suggest we can use 4F as a main charge!

Nice job you two! Oh by the way I was sitting here debating whether or not I should clean my gun this evening after missing a squirrel earlier. Think I'll wait till tomorrow.

I like bunny. Big fan of anything Mexican con conejo.
Oh and Chinese, Indian , Greek Italian, Spanish, English/French/American stew German ……

I missed two. Hobble around with a bad foot and underlying gout.
Sometimes it feels like it's a chore this love of the outdoors.
I use to walk miles but not recently.

You know you want to

We can only buy Swiss 4F in 1kg tins here. I'm planning on getting some for priming and will be interested in using it as a main charge. Any 20G or 54 cal load suggestions appreciated

You put 3/4 the volume you would with 3f or larger and enjoy the efficiency my friend. Don't forget to plug the vent on a flintlock though before charging. Or if cap lock keep the hammer on the nipple, no point wasting none.

Thanks for another hunting adventure with Jess. ( This sounds like a good TV series!). It’s always a pleasure

The saying is a pound is a pound. Here in the states all black comes in 1 pound containers. A pound of 4F has the same stored energy as a pound of 2 or 3F. One assumes you reduce by volume to compensate.
