Sweet!
Work of art.
I was trying 4 different minies today. Looking for one I could shoot in both. Shooting at 25 yards today with different grains of powder, different minies. Target wasn't much to look at with a few flyers and and few closer to center.

Yes!!!
Loading blocks were the original Speed Loader.
It never occurred to me to use a metal file on wood until I watched Jim Kibler do it in his videos. It makes a big difference.
I can’t imagine why the stock was cracked on an 8 gauge shotgun.

I went to the range today and I’m thinking I finally getting this little smooth bore figured out ,finally.For me it’s been a long road of trying different wads and powder measures,even tried shot cups.But it has all payed off for me and I finally went home with a big grin on my face..
I’d found that the ball starter I’ve had for 30+ years and had always worked fine for my 50 cal TC Hawken was just a little too big for the 40 cal SMR. The tip has a lip on it that catches in the patch as it wraps around it and gets a bit hung up in it.
Got busy after work today and knocked out a simple one with just a longish piece that was left over from the SMR ramrod.
Ya know…. It’s been a lonnnnng time since I cut some antler on a bandsaw. I’d forgotten just how bad that smells!
Yeeck!
The basement is hard to be in right now…

Very.
I’d better go ahead and cut some buttons while the basement already smells. The old colonial style shirts I dug out of storage don’t quite fit like they used to. They fit fine in 1991. They must’ve suffered “storage shrinkage.”
Gonna have to make a few more and I’ll need a few buttons.

Finished cleaning up a TC .45 Hawken tonight. I scraped off the old finish, dyed the stock darker, cleaned the pitting off of the barrel, polished the brass, disassembled lock and triggers and cleaned and lubricated them, and cut the curled piece behind the triggers and polished off the stub. Now to go out and shoot it!
It’s the dark stocked rifle 2nd from the left. I need to find a place to put these new rifles - safes are full
