Yes indeed:smile: Not the first or last rabbit I chase I'm sure

Just a hobby shooter so my only real goal here was curiosity. Only had time for 10 shots and my first ever usage of a rear peep/peep tube. I chose WAY too big of a rear aperture. Didn't mess with...

The load data is where I'm really flying blind. I suspect when I'm ready to start stretching my distances I'm gonna need a longer bullet and more powder. These .441s are available in 450, 500, and...

Been shooting roundball my whole life but finally lit off my slug gun for the first time. 100% new to conicals and paper patching. Having no idea what the barrel would like (it's .450 on the dot), I...

I thought that too but could never get the Thread Starter to work. No worries

Thanks for all the suggestions. Costs and delivery times were my main concern on a custom mould but at $33 per 50 boolits plus high shipping too from BACO I can probably recoup the mould cost pretty...

I was going to post a WTB in S&S but not enough posts 🤣 Looking to get away from my hammer swaged boolits and move to casting, anyone know of a "production" mold for a straight sided .439 in the...

The barrel is built around an action that is hot blued...once I get started on a rust blue project I have to be confident I can make the barrel match. I'd LOVE to leave it to an expert but spent the...

I've called MANY places with no luck. Needing a 56.25" round barrel finished preferably with hot blue but at this point I'd settle for rust bluing. Has anyone ever had a piece this large done or...

My bad :)

Thank you!

Not sure how to go about using this mold. It molds a starting bullet for another set of custom swaging dies that ends up creating a .439 smooth sided, paper patched for a blackpowder bench rifle. I...

There's a link in the first post....what else would you like to see?

Thanks Pete. My father goes to Friendship usually but not sure about this year, he's pushing for the Dixon show.

I have a pretty good idea what each of the dies do now other than this one which...

Thanks everyone.

Yep...this has a false muzzle setup to lay out your paper strips then load.

I guess I had always assumed these were for a press and somebody had used a hammer on them, I never thought they could have been purpose built to hammer swage. Honestly, didn't know hammer swaging...

I do not own the Ned Roberts book (my father might), but I certainly have the Muzzle Blasts tucked away somewhere. This months also had a story on bench guns.

As far as patch methods, this one...

Picked this gun up expecting the worst to use the action in a chunk gun build but it showed up much nicer than expected. I at least want to fire a few, and even though it came with a BUNCH of...

Take it easy on me.....swaging is new to me. I do alot of roundball muzzleloader shooting but my last purchase is outside my comfort zone. Recently picked up an old blackpowder bench rifle (mainly...
