mine has about 50 balls downrange now and DOES seem to be shooting even better. I ran a jag with 4/0 steel wool through it back and forth 50 times too. I'm very happy.

Bob put round bottom rifling and .011 grooves on my .58 rebore that I told him I would use for PRB. Shoots great, cleans "easy".

yeah, fgd135, hope I found that with the Barricade. After I get to the end of this can, I may go back to Hoppe's #9. That's what I started with in the "70's , it worked, and unlike others, I like the...

I used soapy water, and then treated the bores and gun back before i "knew better" with Hoppe's #9 for smokeless guns and never had this problem. I now use Ed's red on my other guns. It's cheaper and...

I just in the last year or so started using ballistol for my front stuffers and thought I loved it. It seemed to be good for everything on the gun, wood included. Well, yesterday I took my guns that...

My dad gave me one of those boxed Navy Arms Pistols 1860 in .36 cal in 1967 when I was in jr high. It had one of those molds in it and I made thousands of bullets with it and shot them. In those...

Yeah, TN, and that situation has gotten worse during, and after the pandemic. Prior to that, I got all my stuff from them and usually didn't have much trouble. They have SOME hulls now . Wads seem to...

I killed my first squirrel in 1960 when I was 6 with my dad's Stevens 107B single barrel (still have it). It almost knocked my down when I shot it, he always hunted squirrels with "hi-base" 6's, so...
