What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[Louisk]

Got word today that I won a muzzleloader draw hunt for moose.

Finished, for the second time in about 40 years, my Richland Arms .44 Cal single shot pistol.

It's been a rule here forever. It's not something Angie sprung on us.

Get over it.

I have… I haven’t been here forever like some of you old farts. I’m going to ask questions and voice my opinions…

Get used to it.

Noticed that the ram rod pins on the Deerhunter were loose and worn. Punched them out and re pinned with finishing nails. Peened them nice and flush.

A few years back, I put together a Damascus bladed knife. It has a brass hilt and a stag handle.

Today, I made a sheath for it to carry with my Confederate gear while shooting N-SSA matches.

I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.

Yesterday I measured the twist in the barrel of my .54 GPR, the best I could anyway. Reoiled it and put it to sleep.

1 in 60 if I recall correctly..?

Where would I find someone to work on the screw hole for the drum on the barrel, on my cva Kentucky long rifle.
When I tighten the drum it goes past the hammer if it's tight?
I can post pics later, the boss is sleeping and i know better than go digging in the closet for it, and make a bunch of noise.. only noise it just an orange cat running around like a maniac.

Yes replace the drum! It's not that hard to do. Track of the Wolf has what you need.

Had new snow last night, so put a small box out as a target, using the snow for a pattern evaluation. Gun had a 12" 12 gauge New Englander barrel on it with a 30 grain charge of Pyrodex P, an over-powder card, a shot cushion, approximately 1.3 oz. of #6 shot and a single over-shot card. Cylinder bore. Range was roughly 30 yards, but I didn't bother to pace it off. Walked the camera out to the target for a closer look. Haven't learned how to use the video editing software yet, sorry about the dizziness that may have invoked in some.

And I thought I was cold today. Drove 50 miles to shoreham south coast club, photo to check on catamaran I built years ago , Bitter cold wind and fine rain. Did sit on beach as it’s 50% flint pebbles I bashed away and made piles of chips and a couple I can use and a tiny arrow head You really need big nodules from the chalk cliffs which are everywhere southern England

Is this in Shoreham, England... or maybe New York?

You may wonder what’s this scruffy 20 ft wide yard ,photo , is doing by 100 yards long Well we sold it to the environmental people for £2.4m. “For building a new flood wall !!!! “
And that almost paid for a new clubhouse

Dropped my Hawken. It was a custom build, going to try one mostly on my own, to replace it. Sad day.

Just across the big pond. Love from England

Looks like Monday I'll be finding out about TOTW's return policy for their mistake.
Today I got my order of 1/2" flints, but they set 3/8 by mistake.

$66 got me a 250 gr Lee REAL mold, and a 370 gr Lyman Maxi mold off ebay. Got them today but can't shoot tomorrow since the Fed Ex guy with the powder and caps didn't knock.
