There you go Lead pot...making perfect sense....I HAVE to get this gun to shoot so I can learn to shoot the gun........
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Newest brainstorm is to go back to the Morgan Trap pad and then install and adjustable cheek piece, again, like a trap gun.... When shoot is over I can lower the comb, drop the Morgan pad back down...

Indian Joe....I ran a few things thru my mind as you did....I have a piece of dense foam covered with a short lace-on leather cover. When I had that Morgan adjustable trap pad on mine I was trying...

'Cause I can't see......At least not clearly at arm's length and farther.....Mono vision, but it is backwards...Rt eye is really close vision and left is long...

I have seen the add-on ' pistol grips ' and in addition to looking like a big wart on a nose, the will do nothing to reduce the excessive drop at heel on the stock. And I already have the lace on...

I have a straight stock on my Quigley-type Sharps rifle and would MUCH rather have a pistol grip with a higher comb...WAY too much drop for my long arms and I have a scope on it. Is the only...

Well, the disposable cash thing is getting to be a concern, now that you mention it..I ordered 2 trial bullets from BA, a 540 Creedmoor and a 650 money bullet which may well be too long. But going to...

Well, Hell.......Looks like THOSE are rather expensive, and also look like they would work...but do they stay attached to your rod? If so, wouldn't you drag everything back into the action? Is...

Read a little about bore pigs, but have yet to SEE one or study them. I do know that patches take a lot of time but wanted to get a load before I worked on the other aspects of the game. I may be on...

Don: Headed back to the basement.....Will build a few more and shoot them today. I can see the sun for the first time in days, it seems....High of 30 today. Got a 1-7 mix of NAPA oil and H2O ready to...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I got my NAPA oil and will cut it 7-1, but how should I apply it? Now I use a spray bottle and give each side of the patch 2 mists from 8" or so, push 2 of the damp patches thru, leave it wet now,...

Still trying to get my 110 to shoot and am still trying some PP bullets. I know what grease cookies are, and how to make them, but if one wipes between shots, what good does a fouling-softening...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I will make the NAPA oil/water lube and give it a try tomorrow, weather permitting. Scooped snow off of the bench today and shot 6, 3 shot groups with 2 different bullets and varying powder charges....
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thank you ! I will get to work on a similar load. I will have to try the Swiss 1F that I have now and the RCBS 535 bullet/mould but will try the bullet you suggested. My alloy is 16-1 and I use the...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
More specifically, who shoots GG bullets in a 110, and WHAT are you shooting? I have a 540 RCBS and a 500 RCBS and have shot KIK 1F and just got a couple of lbs of Swiss 1F and so far not getting...

Looking for a 512 GG 650 grain bullet mould similar to Hoch...Who has one?? Done with PP-ing
I am looking to get a new mould for my 45/110 ( ok, 2 7/8s..) Sharps. I now shoot 500s and was looking at the ' money' bullet in 535, or maybe heavier?? Any suggestions or experience? And what is the...
