What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[Dutch7]

Fit a breech plug in a Colerain barrel, only took about 90 minutes including putting a mirror finish on the face.

Just made a new Range Rod for the .50 H&A target rifle.
Got a piece of straight grained hardwood dowel [nominal size 1/2 inch] sanded it down to a nice fit then made a two hand handle and glued them together, I’ll give it one rubbed coat of linseed oil as I want to use it tomorrow

The handle is part of a billiard cue that I bought to make a walking stick.I was going to use the spliced bit but it turned out to be painted. Wood is white and very dense.

That’s a really good idea!

Got out my cap and ball pistol just to check it. tryed a cleaning patch on ramrod got it stuck in the barrel. my stupidity of being in a hurry. Took the nipple off poured some powder in tapped it ,pour some more power in then replaced nipple. Real dry here so picked a clearing that didn't have leaves and dry grass but had rocks. Fired out into that spot. That ramrod must have hit a rock becouse it ricochet off in to the wild blue and not found yet. Enough smoke could not see where it went

Mum said there would be days like that!

Cheers, Pete
