What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

We had 5” of snow. The green monster hasn’t awakened by us yet.
So I cast bullets instead.

I've been through the Catskills in the winter. 5" of snow is nothing!

I know didn’t have to shovel didn’t have to mow lawn. Just saying I didn’t have to do work.

Nice shooting. I re-drilled the flash whole in my Springfield musket. I will be shooting it in a day or two.

Rained all afternoon here in KY.

I seldom get involved with matches or shooting contests. It just isn't my thing.
However, I did attend one in Jackson KY last Saturday.
It was a fun event with laid back shooters.
I took the cameras with me to post fun video of this event soon.

I replaced all the factory screws in a used Pietta 1861 Navy .36 I bought a couple of weeks ago. Those factory screws must be kinda soft and/or the previous owner had ill fitting screw drivers. Almost all of the screw heads were buggered up. Also gave it a good cleaning and replaced the nipples with some I got from TOTW. I'm also thinking of removing the billboards on both sides of the barrel and the ugly factory varnish off of the grips. It will make for a much better looking revolver when I'm done.

My new Flintlock should deliver tomorrow....

 

[Sean E Bug]

dreaming of a big bore underhammer. can,t decide to go for it with a 8 bore or be more economical with a 10. I mostly shoot small caliber so it just seems so cartoonish and fun.

 

[Loja man]

My new Flintlock should deliver tomorrow....

We expect a range report!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Snow in the forecast this weekend but that won't stop me....
