Thanks. We’ll see how he shoots. I’m going to call this one “Trainer” because a rookie built it. I assign all my firearms names. There’s Curly, Rosebud, Big Balls Baker and now Trainer. My .357 unmentionable is Schmitty. Guess who made it?

Looks good. Looks like you opted out of the brass spacer. What did you use for that space?

What ramrod did you use in it?

 

[Curley 50 cal]

The gun settled in nicely at 60 grain Goex 2F with a spit lubed patch of pillow ticking 0.020“ thick and a 0.490” round ball.

The rod that came with the kit is too short. I have a range rod from my Cabin Creek 50 that I used for setting the ball.
