    The RUGER OLD ARMY Club

    A more common occurrence. I can't find something I know I have somewhere. Got too much stuff accumulated over too many years. Anyway, son Chris and I shot the Ruger Old Army yesterday. I started to clean it this morning. I found a nipple wrench but it wouldn't fit the Treso nipples. Not...

    Top loads using black powder in modern large caliber revolvers

    This guy took a Walker 45Colt conversion and developed a wildcat cartridge. I think somewhere one was converted to 460 S&W but I can't find that video. https://youtu.be/Bk7aim8YjMY?si=rh7dauCmnhb2nW5j https://youtu.be/GCrnpH64Qz8?si=NwYifPHlTCweJXau

    The RUGER OLD ARMY Club

    Not my idea. Just picked it up somewhere. I just picked up a couple of drill bits handy to show concept. You probably should use brass or even wooden pegs.

    The RUGER OLD ARMY Club

    If you nipples are stubborn, try putting two rods in a vice two opposite chambers apart. Then set the cylinder over the posts.

    Gunpowder cartridges in my smokeless guns or a dedicated gun?

    I make shotgun black powder loads with roll crimp using AA or STS hulls. Use once and pitch.

    Gunpowder cartridges in my smokeless guns or a dedicated gun?

    I just wash them out in the kitchen sink. Just make sure the wife doesn't catch me.

    Rogers and Spencer's revolvers

    Ran on one by chance and snapped it up. Find it heavy and a little awkward. https://youtu.be/djJjffHH_Lc?si=qr9Cp-wHuIFuO7gw

    Grafs there just up the road.

    Removing Pietta 1851 Wedge

    I use about anything handy. Plastic or wood screwdriver handle, block of hardwood. I have a scrap section of antler I keep in my black powder box. A short chunk of main beam and a point. It makes a little hammer by using the point as a handle. Then turnered around, the pint is used to push...

    New colt walker 3rd gen

    I had a Walker for a couple of weeks. ASM if I remember right. Walked into a gun and pawn that had one in an oak box with the accessories. Didn't look like it had been fired. But must have had caps busted on it and not cleaned. A little handling rust. The price was already low. But I talked...

    Epoxy or Liquid Nails to Glue Replacement Grip on 1851 Navy

    I always use Acraglas. I have it. Know how to use it. And it works.

    Why 2F Instead of 3F - BP Handgun Cartridges

    One thing I've not seen mentioned is, 3f seems to flow better through a powder measure or flask with valve. I got to where I just use scoops most of the time just to avoid the overhead of setting up and cleaning up of powder measures.

    Why 2F Instead of 3F - BP Handgun Cartridges

    I've used everything in everything. It all works. Some combinations probably work better. Just loaded some 38 special with 3f.

    Uberti navy trigger vs bolt screw

    When I take one apart, I always slide the screw in the part. That won't help you now. Maybe next time.

    Why is Blackhorn 209 $160/lb???

    I see it this way. Guy want to hunt in state that only allows shotgun and muzzle loader to deer/bear hunt. Drives a ton dully diesel pickup but never hauls or pulls anything or gets off pavement. Money is not an object to gaining some advantage with his high-tech inline.

    Why is Blackhorn 209 $160/lb???

    Years ago I bought a jar of it that had a broken lid. Price cut in half of that time's price but still too expensive. I used it to load for an old Webley Mark IV. I wasn't impressed. I think it's mostly for maximum performance in modern inline muzzle loaders. Good ol black powder works just fine.
