It is my experience that Sierra Gun Supply in Auburn is the only retailer that handles black powder within a 60 my radius of Sacramento. I have been to most all the ones mentioned at biggamehunt and they do not carry black powder. Most retailers in CA do not handle black powder. You can call...
If you only want a small amount to try and are in the Auburn area go to Sierra Gun Supply at 2131 Grass Valley Highway. If you need a larger amount, on line is the way to go. You can check out muzzle loading clubs if there are any in your area.
I received my loader today. Quick service. They shipped Friday and I got it today. I appears well made and it come with a bushing so can load '51, '60 and '58. I put a ROA cylinder in and the seating head line up but will have to test. I got it for my homemade pepperbox. I'll be testing it...
It is .44 cal. and I load 18 grs. fff with cow or wad, they both shoot about the same. The felt recoil is about the same as with a barrel. The target is 23"x35" and I was shooting instinctively with the gun at waist level from 5 yards. I tried some birdshot with felt wads above the powder...
When you said it "fizzzzz" when ignited, did you mean when it was loaded in your weapon or when it was lit in the open? Pyrodex will burn slow like smokeless powder not like blackpowder.
I bought some Pyrodex CTG from a fellow the other day. Some of you know how long that has been out of production. I crushed some of it to a size similar to RS and P. I tested it in my ROA 27 grains with grits filler. They fired the same as the Goex 3F, no delayed ignition. I also tried it in...
I have a 'flam-n go' on my traditions and it takes the small rifle primer. Another way to clean the barrel using the 'pumping' action put a rubber or vinyl tubing on the nipple, turn it over(presuming it is on a rest) and put the tubing in a small container of water. Less mess.
In slug gun shooting, most are underhammer and closed ignition system. All you need now is a heavier barrel and faster twist. You will be surprised how even more accurate this gun will be. I have one and only wish I could shoot as well as it is capable of. It is a lot of fun and know you...
If you are going to refinish (blue or plum browning?) and are not worried about any etching then the easiest method would be evapo-rust. It will remove all the rust and not disturb any of the metal.
Evapo-rust is great, I have used it. It takes off the rust but if the steel is etched then you will need to sand. It will remove the blueing (which is rust) and leave you a grey patina if you use a couple of treatments. You can oil to inhibit the rust or reblue.
