This was last weekend. Only 15 degrees, so I stayed home by the stove. I had a bad case of analmyopia. I couldn't see my *** at the range when it was that cold!

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
to cold for a Texas boy. Sure looks fun, I like the red coat looks like a trapper convention from the early 1800's. COOL

Brings back many memories when I belonged to a group as such. But never in the cold as you guys have.

When it's that cold staying by the stove gets my vote, loading in that kind of weather just shows why a false muzzle works better to save your fingers starting the ball.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Yes, he does a nice job of it.

Enjoyed that Denny Ducet video on another site. Don't know how I'd manage to keep my hands & face from freezing in those temps., though.

Looks like they all had a great time and fun. Darn muzzle loaders will make you a better shot. Flint locks are fun too shoot. Missed out one our season, darn hip pain. Thanks !! For sharing !! They did a great job!!
Thank you, enjoyed watching!

No just wasn't always living here. I usually lived in much colder places but I work on a roof out in the weather for 8hrs a day. It's at the base of the mountains so it does get pretty cold believe it or not. Not Montana cold but with the wind it can feel pretty cold.

You get used to the cold very quickly, so long as you're not standing around whining to yourself about it. My nephew and I went out a couple weekends ago and it was 17*F with a breeze. We were perfectly comfortable so long as we kept moving from shooting position to target and back. A little bit of physical activity, and you may even be opening up your coat and taking off your hat to cool off.
You get so you LIKE the cool weather. You can DO things without getting overheated, and as a bonus there are NO BUGS, and you don't have to worry about the fire hazards of blackowder. Also we have more free time in winter because the lawn doesn't need mowed, nor the garden tended. Remember all that next time you're out sweating in the heat, swatting mosquitoes, and picking tics off yourself, or staying home due to fire danger.
Great video. I have a new Soddy-Daisy gun coming soon. Really makes me want it sooner!
Ok, waksupi. Been cold enough a frizzen wouldn't spark? Wiping patches freeze half way down the bore? Lead roundball freeze to your fingers? Seen that twice. Last time was February 2015. Temperatures hung around 7°F but the wind chill was -19°F.
And this was in balmy Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC where the political hot air didn't help.
Then there was the time we had to dig shooting lanes to the targets in Minot, ND.

I have seen it where the sparks weren't real energetic. I use Moose Milk made with winter blend windshield washer fluid, to prevent freezing. Something like Bore Butter puts you out of the game after one or two shots. Never had a ball freeze to my fingers!
