Hokay, I am bored. Shop day is done, awaiting another one tomorrow. Gads, if I never see another piece of broken jewelery from a drunk I will no lose sleep.
The mind is going to other planets, I am even doing the dishes. Mama right now is recovering from a severely swollen trigger finger!!!!
In reality, it is from a fire ant, however, for the longest time she thought it was from a stuffed charge from her Kentucky Rifle.
She double charged the rifle. I laughed when it was done as she had not been hurt, however, I am wondering how proofing is done.
I would like to be able to show her from our posts so she is not afraid of that.
I remember, the bullcrap my father told me about Smoke Poles, and watching the cartoons early saturday morning.
While she was loading, I did take my eyes off her for a moment as I had a stuck ball with no powder, like duh!!!!! I did it again!!!!
Her normal charge for her .45 CVA Kentucky Rifle is 60 or 70gns of RS Pyrodex. Ne felt recoil at all as far as I am concerned. I figuire at most, she stuffed 140gns of RS, worst case. She got a kick. Somewhere I read, 45-140, so I figuire, it is a lesson learned.
Any insight on Proofing?
I went with my .50 Hawken Wannabe 120gns just to see what it produces.
Slight kick, little advantage downrange. Suprisingly, more power with less powder than that.
I did get her a CVA .54 Hawken Wannabe. A little heavier, larger bore, should take the kick out. One day, I want a Great Plains in either .50, or .54. Gotta save the bucks for that one. I got her Hawken for 100$. It is about 20yrs old. A double wedge model. Gotta get a .530 ball mold for it also. I am looking for a Lee.
She likes the smell of Muzzleloading!
