What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[mushka]

Maybe I'm strange but I really don't like cleaning guns. I love shooting them, all kinds, doesn't make any difference. Never met a rifle, shotgun, or pistol that I liked to clean. I don't ever leave them dirty but I just don't like cleaning them up. Its just part of the hobby. I love to eat but hate washing dishes, same thing.

Just made an aluminium lead lap for a .5 oval bore. 1/38” ———old school It’s just a historical experiment. And if you believe that .

Two doubles. Ones my 450-400 the others my heavy .36 muzzle loader aBarrel’s

The .36”’. Double ML
Long range rifle company possibly Midland. Gun company. ????? It’s heavy barrels. Could be stuffed with BP. And Maybe 140 to 240g. bullets No information on it. Flip sights to 400yards. Cannot wait to shoot hogs with it


The other nitro. Unmentionable. ( For Lyon and Lyon late of Purdy )! Load is Like R15. 400g bullet and 2125 ft/sec. Best gun for Africa and India. It’s .410 bullets 400 g ,below , I assume dug out of a cape buff. They are Steel jacketed Dangerous game bullets , previous owner died on return from Africa. But it’s mine now

super to chat love this forum. Anc of course you guys

Flinters are easier to clean.

I just cleaned a percussion rifle. It was easier than cleaning a flintlock.

Thanks to flu, spent first 2 days of Missouri Turkey opener watching guys driving out to surrounding farms.Today, heavy rain's put creek way high and, besides, I'm still puny. Really want to smack one with the flint fowler. It's ready to go. I'm not.

Some of the Donner Party must've felt this bad....then died. (Joke)
