Good for you Wolf. The kid will always remember this and you. Kids that get involved in the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting etc. are not the ones that knock over 7 Elevens.

I'd be kind of leery of "Red Dot powder with no red dots.

Me and a friend bought an 8 pound canister of Red Dot in 1973 in one of those paperboard containers.

Donald, I'm sure I've recycled some of your bullets that you made from those wheelweights :-P.

Donald, if you ever need to, I can let you cast in a nice warm shop this winter :smile: You're not far away.

Scroll through the parts list to find your specific bolt.

All very good suggestions :p

Very interesting thread David. Should you get to fire one of the guns, I would suggest a load of 13 grains of Red Dot behind a cast boolit [smilie=l:
