My take on lube I make wads and cookies. I live in Ca where it is hot and dry so I make my wad lube stiff 50/50 beeswax Crisco and use olive oil to adjust the mix depending on what time of year. I...

I would have to look i think i have enough parts to put together a bolt minis the firing pin.

The ring caps did not work on my revolvers either. I have a Tap O Cap i am still hit and miss using toy caps and fff or crushed KIK black powder. I am making another batch of black powder soon i want...

I have a Splitfire nipple on my CVA Bobcat side lock Rifle thats made for #10 caps. Super Bang ring caps worked every time. They were a tight fit but you could them on. I have run out of ring caps...

Yes makes a big difference i use a 4x6 just a little bigger.

There are some nice high dollar wad cutters out there. What you are punching on is more important than the cutter you use. I have a 30in piece of 4x6 i stand on end and use it as a table. I use a...

I get dental film lead and stick on wheel weights for free. They are a tad harder than pure lead but shoot much better in my cap and ball revolvers. My .451 mold drops .453 balls and my .454 mold...

My powder looks like ff but it does crack when you shoot it. I can't wait to try it in my 31 cal 49 Colt and my Walker just for grins.

It is a lot of fun making powder and it feels real good shooting it knowing i made it yourself. I think bullets would be fine in your ball mill.

ofitg, I made one of your scoops and just got done making a few caps to try. I am going to load a few wax bullets and try them out in my 51 Colt revolver in my backyard.

I made my first batch last week. My powder was a little slower than KIK fffg. My powder was alot lighter than KIK fffg and compressed a lot more when loading. It shot very well in 58 Remey and my 44...

The Starr double action revolver has the rear sight on the hammer like a Colt so wen you shoot double action you have no sights.:???:

+1 Plain old hot water is hard to beat. Eds red does a great job of displacing the water. I flush the barrel with hot running water. Remove the nipples soak the nipples and cylinder. Clean everything...
