    Various black powder newbie questions

    Traditional or inline depends a lot on personal taste and the intended purpose. Me, I prefer the traditional types as I already have a bunch of modern guns and I like the historical nature of them. Cleaning is easy, you can use solvents or the old hot, soapy water in a bucket method. I've...

    Anyone Else a One-Rifle Type With a Lever Gun?

    Variety is the spice of life so I do have others but levers are the ones I shoot most by far. Realistically my Win. 94 Legacy model in .30-30 or my Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag. is all I really need. They're much more fun to shoot too. :)

    Which reloading manual do you like best?

    Lyman No. 48 along with their cast bullet handbook are the ones I use most

    ID for an old Lyman mold

    I couldn't find a 358182 so I'm sure what you have is the 358432. It is a .38 cal. wadcutter mold that was available in either of two different weights, 148 or 160 gr.. Lyman listed the no. 429 top punch for this mold. Hope this helps.

    What's with all the guns?

    And if you think guns tend to multiply, take up handloading and see what happens!:)

    What's with all the guns?

    Realistically I don't need more than three or four for any practical purposes I might have. The rest are only because I find them interesting or just plain fun. Getting bored easily due to a really short attention span kinda helps too......:)

    Lube issues, stuck cases

    I've never tried any of the spray lubes but for lubing inside the neck, every three or four cases are dipped in powdered graphite. I just wipe off the outside of the case before sizing. There probably are better solutions but it seems to work ok.

    The Return of TFL - The High Road's Future?

    Glad to see TFL come back and I hope it works out for them. As for me, I'll be haunting both THR and TFL.

    Flint lock

    I think flintlocks are about the most fun kind of shooting there is! It's been a little over 300 years since the French and Indians attacked my neighborhood but still you can never be sure, so I keep my Kit Ravenshear .75 Doglock Trade Musket handy. :)

    Anyone shooting a .25-20?

    You bet! I use my Savage 23B to good effect on the woodchuck population. The 60 gr. Hornady FN works very well for me with either IMR-4227 or Win. 680 behind it.

    "I'm boycotting ________________"

    Right you are BlkHawk73! You know your history. I do live in Scarborough and Scottow's Fort stood a few hundred yards from where I'm sitting. :D It was there until the French and Indians decided to pay it a visit in the 1690's.

    I won't buy anything from Ben & Jerry's and quit buying Levis years ago.

    Do you wear camoflauge to the range?

    Nope, no camo for me either. Right or wrong it does project a mall ninja image that I want to avoid. I just wear whatever I normally wear on the weekend, jacket, shirt or sweatshirt depends on the time of year and jeans almost always.

    "Fun" at NRA convention (puke warning)

    It all sounds pretty juvenile to be honest.
