I'm not offended at all. Most pawnshops in my area carry a whole lot of junk, and it's rather rare to find a diamond in the rough.
And again, everything I have come across were percussion. I have...

I certainly don't need any low quality junk to be appreciative of the good stuff in life.
I have seen a number of good looking muzzle loaders in the pawnshops, and I'm guessing a number of them are...

I appreciate all of the responses so far. The scale looks rather tipped towards Kibler.

Hi gang!
It's been forever since I've been here on this site, and I can't hardly remember the last time I cast and reloaded.
But that's only due to the last period of casting and reloading produced...

That there, is some pretty solid information.
Thanks for the work!

Thanks for all the input!
I put the red dot on, unbelievably easy to bore sight this gun! Just open, no removing bolt.
Bore sighted to 25 yds. Right on the money with my reloads with a very slight...

Thanks for the info so far!
As we all know, probably every gun manual in the world will say not to use reloaded ammo in their firearms. (and we should all probably only buy their ammo, right?)
So...

Hi Gang!
I've been out of the loop here for quite a long time, and really haven't reloaded for about the same amount of it.
I still have lots of handloaded stock on hand though.
I just picked up...

I use lee's 430 240 over 6gr of unique, and I find it to be a perfect plinking load. I hit everything I aim at, and can shoot it all day without googling wrist replacement.

Thanks guys. I knew I was missing something. I'll look at the crimp tomorrow.
I need to get a battery for my calipers.

I tried shortening the rnd, but it made no difference.

Holy frijoles! I've cast a whole mess of bullets, but haven't reloaded in a few years. After working out the crankiness in my lee loadmaster, I found I'm not quite passing the plonk test.
A bullet...

Well, unless I drink a lot of coffee, I'm certainly not getting out there with a measuring tape. My friend has a range finder,so maybe someday I'll know for sure.
This morning was almost still...

Well here we go. I didn't get any pics of the hanging assembly. We put it all in the pickup, locked in the hubs, and drove to the spot I picked. Everything was so heavy, it had to be put together at...

I guess I'll see what I got once I take a few shots at it.
It's 1/4 at the edge and about 5/16 with the pattern.

I'm also guessing that using reloaded lead shouldn't cause for much bounce back....

It's definitely steel, has a diamond plate pattern, and measures 1/4 inch thick.

We found it years ago out in the desert in a junk pile. It had a handle in the center, so we guessed maybe it was...

Oh, and for those of you curious, I went with red.

I have a spot picked out out yonder across a wash. I'm terrible with visual distance. It could be much more than 100yds. I haven't measured it yet. I don't think I'll be shooting it with high powered...

I only expect to paint it this color scheme once for its virgin hanging. Once the paint is toast, I'll probably go with the white.

I'm about to finish painting my Gong. It is round and three foot across.
I'll probably hang it at around 100 yards.

The question that I need help deciding is this:

Black stripes on yellow, or...

Myself, I think I enjoy pouring more.

Besides shooting, of course.

Thanks for all the attention folks!
Lots of ideas.
I took those two wascally wabbits (got both with one shot) and put them in a potjie and cooked the up with a bunch of veggies and a beer.
If you...

Oh man. And I thought I was the only one left using a trash 80.

I knocked out a half a bajillion 9's today.
