As has been said, some of them are gtg, and some of them are a project. If you decide you don't want to fiddle with it anymore, pm me.
You may have a bur inside that touch hole that's causing your...

It's nice to have a good knock around rifle that you're not so worried about getting scratched or having dew fall on it.

I can tell you for a fact that pyrodex is more corrosive. T7 wasn't as bad when I used it. Now that I'm into flintlock, I don't bother with subs anymore.

The original load had a solid pellet of powder that had a hole through the center, much like a modern pyrodex pellet. As for pressures, I can't say. There are a lot of figures floating around.

Well, he technically loaded some ammunition and successfully fired it. I don't know what else you want.

At the very least, buying a bulk pack of the same material helps ensure batch to batch consistency.

Way back when, I was asked to pull the breechplug and show some pictures. Since I had neither the tools not the inclination, I never got around to it. I've decided to polish the bore a bit, so I...

Even with .44 Henry, you'd have to move that round ball at 1800fps to beat it at 100. It's nothing to sneeze at, as many a native can't attest.
The real advantage is the conical bullets. Even the...

When you're talking about muzzleloaders, it's hard to compare, because everyone is using a different load. Some people might load 50gr in their .50cal. Others might load 150gr.
A .50cal round ball...

The first thing I do with any bp revolver is replace the factory nipples with a TOW set. They are made correctly, which eliminates my cap jams. The TOW nipples are sized for #11s.
You can always...

I use 75gr volume of powder and the same volume of shot in mine, with paper wads in between and on top. That's 1f powder btw

No sir, there will be no smokeless in these rifles. That would defeat my purpose for buying them. :smile:

So, I got my case annealer in. All of my starline brass needs to be annealed to get the needed seal at BP pressures.
My question is, is there any special procedure you guys recommend for BPCR as...

So a member here did extensive testing on that. He determined that the under powder wads weren't getting pierced. Instead, the flame was rolling around the edges and igniting the outside of the...

A good case annealing, a good roll crimp, and a heavy bullet will help towards alleviating the problem.

It would be more critical on Lee molds, since they leave a flat spot instead of a protruding sprue.
LAGS, I'll have to try that for the balls I shoot in my smoothbore.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I like to put it on top just so I can see it. That way, I know it hasn't rolled to the side where it can ruin the gas seal. I also do this in revolvers to make sure they don't ruin the chamber seal.

It's an easy fix if you have the equipment.

He also did an accuracy comparison on a pietta vs a Uberti with conical and round ball. I was surprised by the results.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
If you want to put it in a presentation box on a shelf, uberti all day. :)
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Same here. Ubertis might have nicer finishes, but the piettas take less work.
Forum: Leverguns
Now you know why Winchester lever guns were never originally chambered in 45lc. :)
Annealing and a good crimp might alleviate the issue.

You should be fine dipping them after. The lube is going to harden long before it soaks through the paper.
