What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[MaterielGeneral]

Received my Traditions Trapper pistol. I will wait until spring to zero it in.

I got one as a kit from my wife for Christmas, been working on it, slowly because of the day job, but I have the stock looking good, and all parts pre-fitted. My browning job on the barrel didn't come out too great, so I'm getting ready to re-do that.

Fun project so far. My first kit since a Philadelphia Derringer back in the early 80's. Still have that one.

I cast up about 3 lbs of Lee's 58 cal real bullets. I also repaired the hollow base plug to my 570 gr. minie mold. I ladle cast these out of a 4 lb Lee melter. I only keep soft lead in this one.

I cleaned my dad’s TC Hawken for him. He hadn’t given it a good cleaning in quite some time. Took me a while but got it all done.
