    That could have been really ugly! Glad it all worked out for you. I can't believe you hauled that many (priceless!) Ballards all the way to Happenz. But you have a legacy of outstanding videos out...

    Thanks for the replies! I like the idea of the bore wipes better than the blow tube anyway. The home-brewed idea sounds good; the BACO system looks excellent but is a bit on the steep side at $60.00....

    Agree with the above posters. Black powder, whether in a ML or BPCR, is much more of a deep bassy "boom" compared to the sharp "crack" of smokeless. If you've ever had you hearing protection off for...

    Now what?
    What alternative subs can be used in BPCR loading? Some suppliers still have 1.5F. Could that be used in .45-70 loads effectively?
