What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

Unboxed the 1980 Lyman GPR I recently purchased. Hoping to shoot it this weekend.

Very nice, I can see a lot of subtle differences from the later versions, unless this one has had a make-over at sometime in it's past.

Not today but...
I was in the local Scheels store this past Friday, they had boo-koo percussion caps.
CCI #11 and #11 magnum at $10.99 and $11.99... at least 20 cards of each.
Also plenty of Remington #11 at $9.99
I have a modest stock of CCI and RWS caps but no Remington's so all I purchased was 2 tins of the Remington's.
The Colony store in TX.
Most caps I've seen in one place in a LONG time.
Didn't take my phone in or I'd have a picture.

Put on fourth coat of Kibler’s stock finish on my 20g Fowler. It looks like I am half way there. Starting to work on the brass.

I visited the Chalmette Battlefield and walked on hallowed ground.

Got the flash channel opened up and put a new nipple in it which snugged right up. The bore is rough inside and and out but I can live with that for now. Used a Hawken ramrod and thimbles and an old CVA (I think) sight. It ain’t real purty but I think it will shoot. Hope to soon find out.

How many videos do you usually have in the works at any time?

I try to round up items needed ( candy, balloons, dryer lent, conicals, targets, gatorade bottles, etc ) for 3-4 videos at a time.
Usually no more than two are on my editing program.

Once I get above 2 videos on my editing program......
it gets too hard to keep up with all the separate video clips, especially since I use 2 cameras for the shooting projects.

I'm working on an "2024 year in review" video I'll post late in December 2024. I'm going to attend a backwoods Black Friday shoot & get some fun & silly moments on video to complete that one.
I completed, uploaded to Youtube one yesterday & since deleted that one off the editing program getting ready for the next one.

Usually I'll shoot & edit them the same day unless its a trekking video or something that takes more work. 99% of the time I do all the work myself because I can't find anyone around here that wants to get into the trekking projects with me.

I also research local history for videos to post on a different YouTube channel that focuses on my hometown. Stuff like train wrecks, flying adventures, local floods, fun times I had in the 1970's in KY and currently working on a local tragic plane crash project.
It is a fun hobby I love to incorporate my adventures of shooting and video work.

Thanks for asking.
