What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[Snooterpup]

I have been carving on my practice stock. Please let me know what I could do to make it better. I am still on the fence about trying to carve my Woodsrunner.

Looks great to me, nice clean work.

Remove lead shot from some factory shot shells, to load in my muzzloading shotgun. Worth it.

Went to my BP club this morning and scouted out a good campsite for the July rendezvous. Put my little firepit barrel right in front of where my tent will be.

My old two boys and I spent time Friday and Saturday cutting Osage for bow billets! We hope to have some to sell on a blanket at Friendship in the fall! They will still need to cure but it also helps keeps their interest!

Did a little more freehand drawing and carving this afternoon. I’m proud to say that I didn’t cut myself today for the first time.

I always say everything thing I make has a little bit of my DNA on it from cutting myself !!!

Snooterpup, thank you for your kind feedback.

Hatman/2nd line, thank you for the encouragement. I know I need more practice.

Sat on the back porch with William who was casting long heavy .550 caliber bullets that are designed to have a clay plug in the back end of them. We still have to locate a clay bank somewhere so we can make the plugs... but that was for another day.

When I discovered the diameter of his bullets, I brought out my T/C Renegade .56 SB. We were able to hit a large target at thirty yards without key-holing. No clay plugs. After William went home, I discovered that he'd left me a bullet to play with. Next milk jug gets it!

Those milk jugs are going into hiding, Dale Allen Raby!

I spent the weekend with my dad, mom and my son. They shot my 40 SMR and the 62 smoothbore. We finished the woodshed and the woodstove and then sat around the campfire the rest of the time. Hunting and fishing season is coming!

Sounds like a great weekend. Makes me remember some of the great weekends with my parents.

Proper use of harbor freight tools.... Chop them up to make something better.
Like a handle for my mould.
