What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

Due to physical problems with neuropathy and two spinal operations to correct a big pinched nerve I went to my first BP club shoot this morning for the first time in a year and a half. Mostly to see if I was up to it and to see if my neck would tolerate recoil. It did ok with the little .45 Seneca with 40 grns of 3F. Only got off 8 shots as the arthritis in my fingers really affected my ability to load PRB's. A capper was used and the gun fired every time. It shot to where the sights were aimed but my marksmanship left a lot to be desired. I had the most enjoyable morning i've had in quite awhile in spite of the physical trouble. This trip broke the ice and I am going to try to be a regular from now on. We can do what we really want to do. A good day.

Hot water cleaned my .50 longrifle after a range trip. Since I put a peep sight on it , I can see the sights and even the target . Shot all balls in the black. Happy , happy , and ready. Using a .490 rb. w/.015 grease patch , w/80 gr. fffg. Grease the patch , then put patch on a hard surface , and rub as much grease off as will come off. Barrel is a 38" Colerain with around a turn in 60". Can't remember what the name of the grease is , but it's in a tube from Walmart sports Dept.. LOL to ya.
