    Soooo good to be back!

    Greetings, Friends!
    Its been a long time since ive been active here. Recently, I've started on a new adventure. I'm making my own BP for use in my old Trapdoor and my .50-70, which I cast my own boolits for. Stupidly, I posted a question on a Farcebook group, with some questions about my loads. Brothers, let me tell you......I heard so much garbage advice, from some really incompetent people! I was even called an idiot for using the term "Boolits". So, in short, I'm so thankful for this resource, and the vast knowledge you folks have shared over many years!

    Some people are tolerant of everything until you bring up the subject of firearms, ammunition, or shooting. Glad to have you back. Tell us about your newest adventure.

    Welcome home.

    I learned a long time ago not to suffer what the great unwashed masses of fools say or think.
    In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
    In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.


    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!

    I am going down the same rabbit hole and even took a turn at the fork called primer reloading , but have learned that I can make viable ammunition at home from scratch and keep 1moa and keep my weapons in function

    Consider it a badge when you're called an idiot by an idiot

    Welcome back enjoy your quest I have made small amounts of black powder but not for firearms use -except blanks in a .45 cal. cannon .
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
