The "stickon" wheel weights are softer'n the clip on type, they don't have any antinomy. However, some aren't made of lead at all. :roll:

Right hand threads, but you have to remove the drum first it locks the breech plug. Since you didn't do that, the ball's in yore court.

A patch knife should only be sharpened on one side, and the flat side is placed on the barrel. Cuts patches just fine and protects the crown. If you have a bad crown, don't shorten the barrel, taper...

Sorry a southpaw with a right handed rifle can't be shootin' no flinch locks. :roll:

Glad y'all had a ggod time. Let me know who the world champ turns out to be. :drinks:

Y'all need to change the rules to pre 1820s. Even the Republic of Texas was buyin' capped UNDERHAMMERS in the mid 1830s.:groner:

Smooth Rifles are nice. [smilie=1:

Cain't be a world champeenship, if'n y'all don't take on ALL comers. Like it or not, them cap guns got a place in the world. :violin:

There is a lot of knowledge available on the Muzzleloading Forum, and they don't mind sharing. :-D

Do y'all prefer the yellow or the green? Actually I don't think there's any bees wax in it. It reminds me of the synthetic toilet gaskets. :roll: I use a mixture of bees wax and mineral oil. You can...

T/Cs are worth $250 bucks easily. Mine shoots good, although I've not tried any conicals yet. :coffee:

I bought one for my sons. I don't remember the price. You loaded it with a #4 American Standard buckshot of about .24 caliber and 5 grains of powder. In the barrel was a long lede the swadged the...

Why don't cha move away from there, Jed? Them Beverly Hills ain't a good place to live, ain't no squirrels. [smilie=1:

I've been usin' 1/4" soft plastic tubing to keep my caps dry in the rain, Just cut a length that'll fit over the cap while its on the nipple, and the rain can't get down to the primin' compound....

I doubt either of the mentioned rifle would be acceptable by a North/South skirmish association. They'd want you to use something that was actually used during the civil war or a replica thereof.

If you happen to score a Hopkins & Allen type, you won't need two rifles as they are really set up for quick change barrels. :drinks:

Pedersoli makes somethin' similar. Look on their site. :drinks:

I don't think Blue Grouse has updated their site since Deer Creek quit makin' the kits. :neutral:

Ah yes, the old Hawken stock trick. Easily solved by gittin' a Renegade. [smilie=1:

There is a world of difference between static discharge and sparks thrown by steel tools. I think sparks will ignite black powder, at least it did for more'n 200 years worth of flintlocks. [smilie=1:

I use Sno Seal straight out of the can.

Pedersoli makes one similar to the one at e-Bay.

Of course if the ndn was only 1500 yards away the bullet would have passed by 25 feet overhead. [smilie=1:

I was readin' the label on my can of Sno Seal, and noticed it was basically bee's wax. I looked up the MSDS and found the softenin' agent was mineral oil. That's the basis of Ballistol. Well guess...

You might try FFFg, you'll need less to achieve the same velocity, and it is a bit less foulin' to start with, not as many big chunks of charcoal. :)
