My first decade growing up in Bush AK, we always had a few C rations kicking around the camp gear. I thought they were pretty good as a kid - of course, even boxed mac & cheese is good at that age...

My apologies, I didn't see that this was the Muzzleloader subforum;

I have read that smokeless powder contains a small amount of moisture, by design;

While I use dessicant packs in my primer cans, I do not for my ammo cans for this reason.

I can't speak for the TSS, but my very first shot with Hevi-Shot killed 5 mallards stone dead.
With my limited hunting time and all the related effort, I can certainly understand the reasoning...

Thx for the report Don; I have similar and think I am pushing that ...

My apologies for not reading all the posts, but I think a component of recoil that isn't often discussed is recoil /velocity/ - which is certainly perceived differently than recoil energy.

Outstanding article, thanks for posting it.
Nice having the add'l historical context of naval warfare events.

Deleting my post as well; was written very poorly, so could easily be taken the wrong way.
Thank you & best regards,

I rather doubt that the red powder is ferritic for this particular case.

The most accurate 44Mag load I have ever shot is the Hornady LE 225gr FTX factory load; this does honest 1" 5-shot groups at 100 yds from my Ruger 77/44 (1:20" twist rate).
Also less than a...

My 336-44 has always functioned perfectly, and is the most accurate lever action I have ever worked with. My buddy sold his for $1500 a year or two ago, FWIW.

The minor diameter for that threading is 0.456" per the Surefire threading spec;
With a 0.358" bore that leaves ~0.049" wall thickness by my calculation not 0.025" ??


I concur on 1/2"x28 being...

The only pre-lock S&W's I've ever sold, were the lesser two of /four/ S&W M64-5's I was fortunate enough to have done a lot purchase of.

I am blessed with a good collection of pre-lock...

Having used a fair bit of the Big45 product, I would recommend it over other methods.

At the risk of going on a limb here, I'm going to label the 0000 steel wool method as obsolete, and here's...

Am curious who are saying it's too thin ?
Edit: I am wondering if this is a poorly-phrased iteration of 'insufficient OD' ?
"Too thin" reads to me as 'wall thickness', not OD ...

and don't forget to complain that some of your targets "weren't going down 'last weekend'";
that way the others will stick with their less-accurate Minimags, lol. ;-)

With regards to Trail Boss:

In that most of the powders we do get are derived from military applications, my suspicion is that the CBI surplus powder offered as recently as last year:...

Red Dot is the poor mans' Trailboss IMO. ;-)

Wow Berdan-primed Hornady 25ACP; good to know to keep an eye out for.

Thinking that practice went away with the arrival of the Bean Counters;
I've never seen Speer Grand Slams come with one extra. ;-)

Here they are, in case anybody is interested; despite one review, they looks like a decent bet to me, for $15.

Posting just to make note of round-holding tweezers; I did not know of these, and when I am back on my main computer, I will shop for them. Thank you,

To break to a more positive note; who wouldn't get a smile from this ?
That right there is a subsonic, sub-MOA (@ 50 yds) load; note the seating depth. :-D

Slugged the barrel; determined an optimum torque for the action screws. One jacketed load and at least two different cast boolits. Three different powders.
No rocket science here; I just don't...
