Well I believe that this is your answer...Yes, a gas check poorly applied, or flying off during flight is not good for accuracy. Most BPCR matches that I am familiar with do not allow the use of...

Jax brass brown... Kibler sells it. Then use a red or green scotch bright pad to ease it back to the desired patina.

You got me lost in the "rabbit-hole" of my computer looking for pictures to share with you! I'm tired now..hahhahah. I'll check back in later and see if I can share some pictures and receipt ideas. ...
Night&Day..one is fast and furious.. the other is Thunder!!
Since it's a muzzleloader you can load it as "mild or wild" as you are comfortable with. A heavy powder charge seems to blow the shot pattern out. And a 72cal patched round ball doesn't need to be...

As long is it is your "own" head(!) your pointing your rifle at...I'm in the camp that thinks a free American should do things "the way he sees fit".
Sure wouldn't want to be standing around...
I made up some cross-draws that work well. I actually carry mine strong side in the x-draw holster more often though. The rear ward cant lets me set in the truck easily while I'm on the trapline and...

Yes the heavy wad up front is the way to go! to hold patterns together. Been doing it long before it was called a "Skychief Load" But I'm sure glad we now have a name for it so we can learn more...
Now that is funny stuff right there!!:mrgreen:

Been tinkering with the Diablo some more. Trying to get it to hold a pattern well enough for hunting. Sure beats watching tv at night! lol

Ran into this porky on my trapline the other day. The landowner has problems with them putting quills into his horses and dogs so I knocked him out of the tree.

Got out with the new Diablo 12bore Howdah today... I took some pictures to share with you guys.
Made a nice cross-draw holster for it first thing, and noticed right-off how well this little...
Yes sir, I am getting some cross-draw holsters made up right now. AGC should have these holsters available by November. Sure is a nice little package for your hip.

I'm not sure when they will be shipping our Diablo orders..but getting to handle this one is sure encouraging.
I have a mould made...now I just need to work up a classy way to add a little ramrod...
I have a new Diablo in hand!!! It came nicely boxed and packaged. And wrapped in a nice cloth bag.
This little devil makes you giggle when you hold it!..LOL If you like making blackpowder smoke...
Thanks Lar45... Sure had a good time getting to fire your old Pin-Fire Howdah all those years ago with John Linebaugh. Wow how time flies!
There has been a few threads started around the net about the new Diablo howdah pistols. I think they look great. I can't wait to get my hands on mine!
These are Black Powder Muzzleloaders and...

Elmer's "accident" was caused from him milling the top driving band off of a 45-90 mould and then sized it down to make a heavy for caliber 45 colt bullet.

KIK is good stuff...but it's not made in American, I don't think it is made at all any more. The fouling is really dry and hard. You have to work at it to get it to shoot well. I had to "sock" the...
