Belated welcome from another Mississippian-

I have not been on one in almost 50 years, but in ’74 I was helping an ag missionary in the jungles of Panama and he had one there— I loved it and tried to find one when I came home but they were very rare— It would go anywhere and was a blast to ride— It was not fast but faster than walking-

I use a condom on the muzzle loader and can see no negative effect— keeps my powder dry—

I would suggest contacting the ELR guys— F-Class shooters run 30 to 31 inch free floated straight barrels all the time—those are 1 1/4 barrels not 1 1/2– the ELR guys run what you are talking about— ask David Tubb—

Build one of these— got the plans from a sports medicine doctor and it really stretches the Achilles and other tendons—

We were a shotgun family so I was 22 when i bought my first center fire rifle— A Remington 700 in 25-06– A great gun and round- Still have the dies and the rock chunker but not the gun—

Midway has sta ball 6.5– $38/ lb

I received notices from Midsouth twice in the past two weeks that they had my H4350 jug ready— I go and yes it is there— the cost to ship 8 lbs is $328– I put it back-

Try RL17

I just looked and the powders I shoot mostly, H4843sc, H4350, and H 4895 all say made in Australia and packaged in USA—

Last barrel work I had done cost $400 to chamber, thread and fit my barrel to my action—I provided the barrel, action, and reamer—

Good article— I have the Hornady tool for all my calibers but have trouble getting repeat numbers from it— a friend suggested the Sinclair Gauge — I have to read the instructions every time I use it but it is repeatable consistently— It looks like it is doing the same thing the video showed in...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!!

Powder Valley has always picked same lot for me when I asked—

TVM will build you a nice flintlock— this is my 45 cal.
