Just ordered more lead shot, lead bars, and Swiss powder. Even my Wife agreed I should hedge accordingly.
Well to add to the antler powder measure I made yesterday I came up with some round ball blocks. These are 54’s and made from some quarter sawn post oak. As a newbie I am finding joy in making these little things to aid in shooting.
Looks like you got it going on, good job.
I tore my old TC rifle apart and finally took the time to rework all the brass/wood to make it fit entirely flush. There were always bits and pieces that were too proud and I finally had enough of looking at it and feeling it. It looks amazing now. Way better than the factory had it in 1970 something. I refinished the stock as well. I finished it in a beeswax/lemon oil rub in and then about 8-10 coats of Johnsons. Its like owning an entirely new rifle. Kinda' exciting

today i welded the steel trigger guard i broke cold fitting. seemed a little crystalized to me but welded up ok. now back to filing and sanding. did i ever mention i hate polishing furniture?
My can is dwindling fast. I use a lot of it.
Finally......my smoke poles are all cleaned up from the New Years Day FREE Fun shoot held at Friendship yesterday. Despite the cooler weather, I counted 31 shooters with others coming and going. Lots of new folks showed up and all of them received several hours of trigger time. They had the opportunity to try cartridge guns, flintlocks and pistols shooting at various steel zoo critter targets out to 200+ yards. Eveyone enjoyed potluck of BBQ smokies, BBQ meatballs and several crocks of bean soups. It was a wonderful day. Video showing all the fun will be posted Sunday morning.....

I smoked them! Also they had suppressors on their little guns and were wanting to shoot without ear protection. 75 grains of BP changed that. Now you may think I was being mean but there is a range at the club dedicated to rimfire weapons. They chose to come over to the big boy range with their rimfires and then complained about my smoke 'n noise!
