Hey all , I was gifted a nice looking vintage Saeco melting furnace. I verified the heating elements work but i'm missing the dispensing arm and internal parts. I highly doubt I can find the missing...

CCI winged caps are well regarded as junk, reenactor grade at best. If possible seek out RWS caps for the best consistency and precision.

There is no for me to jam 70g of Goex 2f into a modern commercial case and achieve a needed seating depth of the typical 405 rnfp bullet . Ive tried a drop tube ive tried vibratory methods to help...

Good comment, edited my post for better clarification.

I tried igniting a small amount of 4f using a static spark type bbq grille igniter . Nothing , nada , zip. Touch a bbq grill flame lighter and an instantanious POOF. Call me a fool , i have no...

this is at least encouraging, but my questions remain as to why an abrupt closure of the Goex plant with no set continuation plan ? No equity group holding company buyers ? this just doesn't make...

I have the Whisper .22. my accuracy is all over the place and my barrel is VERY fussy with pellet selection. I get the best accuracy with the Gamo match diablo FP's. I'll get a 1.7" group at 25 yds,...

I have the Harpers Ferry .58 flintlock and I'll give it to straight. The pistol is a total unreliable po-s. When new, I was lucky to ignite 4 out of 10 shots. Tried everything I could think of to get...

While we're tossing out well deserved thank yous, I also want to throw a big thank yous to "country gent" , another extremly knowledagable and helpfull member !

I take my Pedersoli Sharps 45-70 out to 600 yds weekly at my gun club. My bullet of choice to get there is the 535 Postel with 65 gr of Swiss 1.5F and a .030 poly wad. Typically scoring the 7,8,9...

rfd is an outstanding guy both knowledge and friendly. Listen intently to his comments. He got me started off PP'ing on the right track as well.

Ive got the LEE 20# pro pot and it works very good for casts up to about 350 gr. Once you try 400+ gr pours it gets to be an inconsistient pia to properly fill out the lube grooves. I too have...

Like others comment the Pedersolis are not drilled for scope mounts. I've added the MVA winchester 5x and the deluxe micrometer mounts to my Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Sihlouette. I have a mini milling...

Primer shortage ? Not down in my reloading cave. Have not visited a gun store in over a year. Ive been buying up small quantities over the past 6 years . Gun panic shortages are now beconing more...

I experimented a few years ago with flash holes opened up to 3/32 and didn't notice any measurable difference in accuracy or consistiency. Interestingly what i did observe was a consistient increase...

I'm not proud (but honest) in stating that i'm a multiple offender of dryballs. I get together with 3 other bp muzzleload guys at my gun club and we just have SO much fun. Very light hearted shoot....

I highly recommend Dutch Shoultz' "black powder accuracy" ebook. A wealth of knowledge for a new muzzleloader shooter !

I live in the world of snow and road salt and a TON of corrosion and siezed components. Kroil is excellent stuff BUT it needs some time to soak in. Sometimes up to a few weeks depending on if gravity...

I am a fairly new .50 cal Flintlock shooter. I've experimented with both the "KISS" 3F barrel / 3F pan and it works good. I prefer the 2F barrel / 4F pan . My reasoning is the fact there is without...

Ballistol "Moose Milk" works great on BP

Ballistol smells like sweaty athletic socks that have been sitting on the floor for a year.

Murph's Mix works great on BP

Murph's Mix smells very...

I dont use bore butter on muzzleload long guns, but Bore Buttter mixed with Crisco is a great lube for my 1858 .44 cal cap and ball revolver shooting real BP .lots of fun, huge mess !

Wow, thanks for the links, that is some outstanding knowledge !

Have become friends at my gun club with a very unique, small niche of shooters, These guys are a small group of guys whom enjoy shooting BP only antique military muzzleloaders. These guys as much as...
