    Greetings, I'm Rob. Newly into black powder with a Pietta 1862 .44 revolver. Casting my own ball ammo. So labour intensive (loading and cleaning) but it's a blast to shoot.
  2. General Leverguns & Their Cartridges
    Hi all. Range session with my Miroku Winchester M73, in 44-40 caliber. Shooting black powder (Swiss) under Accurate Molds #43-220C soft lead bullets. Great accuracy I think, and easy to clean too :). https://youtu.be/yvTM4F5TIAc
  3. Muzzleloaders
    I've noticed that some cap'n ball shooters like to put bore butter on top of their bullets while others prefer using a lubricated wad between their ball and powder. I have only ever used the wads and want to try something different because the wads are expensive. Crisco is cheaper than cheap, so...

    I recently got a book called 'Recreating the Eighteenth Century Powder Horn' so that I would know how to make my own traditional powder container. I'm not interested in buying one already made.

  8. Bullet Casting
    I have SERCHED for info but with no success. A few years ago a guy was casting 230 gr bullets. I bought some and would like to talk to the guy that made them but I cannot seem to find him. I get unsized ones to shoot in my 7.62 X 54R and lube them with Alox. I wanted to push them sub sonic...
  9. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    I'm about to load some .38 cartridges (105, 125, and 158 lead) over American Pioneer BP substitute in FFFg. The jug says 'No Lube" Is that right? I can load bare bullets with this product? The bullets are WW lead, not pure, so the BHN is probably about 10-11. What is the experience with...
