You could alway try what what I did this year. I ordered myself (Stana Claus) a new Remmy and presented it to The Queen (Mrs Stana Claus) and told her she and the kiddos didnt have to shop for me...

Ha! You didn't! This thread does that, again and again. I'm glad your powder worked good, and I read over on the gulch that you've made some fuse that works! I've never done that yet, but it can...

What a beautiful collection, Sharps!!

(Oogling your pics made my morning!)

Ruger Old Army for sure. I even wish I had another one, in Stainless.



But you might be surprised what my 2nd favorite is: A CVA Electra.

They are orphans now, but it gives me great...

I am wondering if percussion caps are identical in chemical composition, and thus, storage recommendations. I have quite a few #10 and #11 tins in their Original "blister packs" and I dislike the...

Hey Flashman,

I've watched some of your trials and tribulations and I'll be honest...I've scratched my head a little.

Do you think its possible you might be damaging your charcoal by ...

I was pretty confident after reading some of your last few posts that your problem might be poor charcoal, but in any case SERIOUS CONGRATULATIONS are in order!

You are wise to be cautious of...

BulletFactory, I believe you may have misunderstood the plastic BB's question. I believe iMigraine was asking for an accuracy comparison between RIFLE boolits with powdercoating applied by:

Flashman, If you have been ball milling good charcoal and the right ratios with KNO3 and sulfur, it is gonna go poof, period. I don't care what size your grains are.

You can get it too wet if you...

Bob, that is a great post!!

The Louisville Slugger was a nice touch too. No other choice of baseball bat for a Kentuckian, or anyone else for that matter...

Did you source your screens from...

VERY interesting posts about the "stay-dry" chems...

I did Landman work for an Petro Mineral leasing company for a while. My pickup didn't have a topper, and there were file boxes in the back to...

My only Glock was stolen a couple of years ago, but my Kahr PM9 is a polygonal barrel. I can EASILY push that little 105 grain Lee semi wadcutter out of my tiny subcompact barrel at over 1450....so...

Boz330, it was nice to talk to you today!

Like I told you on the phone, I need more density than I get from screening moistenend green meal, even though I've been quite happy with it on my muzzle...

Is this the article you are referring to? http://blog.westernpowders.com/2015/07/paper-patching-your-inline-muzzleloader/

How about a 1 in 20 twist .50 Scout (carbine)? With a rough bore? :cry:

Yes, it was a gift. It is designed for sabots I reckon, but it isn't too bad with Lee REALS.

Thanks, I'll look up that...

I am interested in this. Is it a practice that works on guns with already acceptable accuracy.... Or is it simply a prescription for muzzleloaders with funky groups?

This is the first I've heard...

I use them because they are fast cheap and available at Walmart. If I had black Willow, I'd us that. My powder seems pretty dirty to me.... compared to Goex, but fast. YMMV. I use a TLUD when...

Johnnycash635, Hook it up and give it a try! You seem driven.

I used to have a pocket sized Hotshot for cattle that I used for a football "touchdown cannon". The cannon was 5 1/2" drill casing...

I have a CVA Electra (they were all .50's) with a stainless Bergara barrel. It was a marketing flop and could be had for a song until the back stock was finally sold.

I'd say you should try to...

I only have shot smoke poles up until now. So I've never used a press or dies.

I just bought a blued ROA and have been practicing teardown and assembly before tomorrow's range session. I know my...

And you can explain it until you are blue in the face.

You either get a sparkle in the eyes and a flash of grin in the face...., or zip. Zero. NADA.

What would anybody want to ride one of those...

Thanks Hotfxr for your excellent post and the pictures. It's hard to explain the satisfaction of making your own BP. Either you "get it" or you don't...

Like motorcycling.

Correct. I am a screenprinter and have several infrared thermos. The are great for shooting a t-shirt coming out of the conveyor oven. But they are very limited on certain surfaces. Black or dark...

So it isn't the brass or its hardness then... that cuts so well? It's mostly the shape?

I don't know if this is an option for anybody else using Duda Diesel's prills, but years ago I made a largish tumbler from PVC for a homemade ball mill. I bandsaw'ed a bunch of 5/8 round inch brass...
