I took my family to the range Saturday, where my son made some more smoke from his left handed cut down Kit Carson that LAGS over at CB rebuilt for him.
Old picture here.

Tried paper cartridges in the 1858.

All rounds fired at 11 yards, two hand standing. 25 grains of OE 3f, need to try again with longer paper and 30 grains. For some reason the people shooting downwind of us seemed to need to leave suddenly, no idea why...

that camping event looks like a lot of fun.

 

[babstooge]

tore down my tc renegade to find out why the set trigger wouldn't work. Found a corroded fly, cleaned, oiled now they work like new.

I sure wanted to make it to this one but between being behind at work and a bad u-joint on my truck, couldn't make it happen. I'm glad y'all had a good one. Is it held the same time every year? Is there a spring rendezvous as well?

Yes Sir! it was a great time & wish you could have made it down.

Our Spring camp is the 4 th weekend of April & Fall camp is the 4 th weekend in October. Every year, unless something drastic happens.

Waiting by the front door for some black powder to appear so I can put it away for latter.

Made some paper cartridges, but unfortunately shot them out of an "unmentionable".

Got 5 more pounds to add to my stock pile. First time that I've purchased any Swiss powder. At $10 more a pound it probably will be the last.

After three attempts, I finally made some powder that ignites. If commercial powder becomes hard to come by, I have an alternative.

And today I dry balled my rifle .
So, I had the pleasure of disassembling the rifle and remove the breach plug because I also screwed up pulling the ball. It was a learning opportunity.

put another coat of finish on my fowler. also polished the butt plate.
MS won most of the day.

what i see is a custom made sheath! the biggest error one can make is not trying. the technical abilities come from trying. looks good to me!

so true!!! and thank you! I've posted other items that i've made, and I like the way my items look, like they were made sitting in front of the fireplace.

Got to the range for some shooting. Changed out my Schetzen 60 gr load of 2ff (6" grouping), for a 40 grain load of Swiss 3fff for a 3" group.

welcome to the Eternal order of dry ballers. only way to resign is to stop muzzleloading.

Finally cleaned my flint deer rifle from going to the range a couple weeks ago. It's ready to load and go. Have to check my shot pouch contents from last year to see if there are contents to kill a deer.
