Who the heck needs a target camera system? I do, for sure - and so do many other shooters for target work or just setting up a firearm. More and more gun ranges are adding target cameras, too,...

Yessir, nothing like lighting off 80+ grains of Swiss 1-1/2f to send 528 grains of lead alloy down and out the tube. Music to my plug protected ears. :)

Yes, I agree - noise levels of fired off black in a long gun cartridge or muzzy appear to be somewhat deeper in tone and more muted than the sharp crack of most white cartridge rifles. Recoil is...

Was a time when offshore muzzleloaders were both dirt cheap and plentiful, but that ship has long since sailed a one way trip. About the cheapest available I've seen today is the Traditions Frontier...

Pure lead is not the way to go, IMHO. It will also cast and size differently than if it was cast with a tin alloy. You want 1:16, trust me.

All of this cartridge building entails a bit of "experiment of one", and one needs to see what works best for one, as always. Wet or dry patches for slicks? Try both, see what works best for it all...

I do believe the concept of wetting PPB patch paper has to do with fit and is not any manner of lube. The "lube" for a PPB is the paper itself. Paper that's dry will be stronger than paper that's...

Now THAT got my attention! Any more scoop on "brown powder"?

Perhaps a .444 slick of the appropriate length and weight for a 1:18 twist like a BACO JIM444530E, 16:1 alloy, and wrapped in Seth Cole 7# paper ... ?

For the .45-70 at any relative long range, the bullet arc scribed skyward will be, and is, Huge.
Interesting to realize, but of no real concern. It is what it is.

A trip well worth making. Buy all the powder you can as powder will be one of the new world order emerging currencies. Think I'm joking? I wish.

In two words - mail order. Plenty of it out there in 1-1/2f - so far.

Believe me, I've spent far too long contemplating both the functional and dollar values of a great scope and/or good target camera system. I spent a lot of time in research for both. I've owned...

Target cameras flat out excel for easy spotting of holes in paper, or spatters on steel at whatever distance the camera will allow. Some "sight in" short distance cameras will go no farther than 300...

That target looks fine to me, you've got no windage issues, just vertical.
Forget spotting scopes, those things flat out suck for real long distances. You want, NEED a target camera. There's a...
