Very good point. But I think more people will stick to black powder arms after investing so much time and energy learning about the pros and cons. And it could lead to more of a revival and innovations.

Understood on that Sir. But paper cartridges were in use before the modern self contained metallic versions became available and practical. Much of that knowledge was lost to time until rather recently.

When it comes to corrosive properties in cap lock firearms at least I was lead to believe that the main culprit in causing corrosion were the salts found in the priming for original caps? I'm a rookie on the subject of BP and it's modern equivalents, just throwing in what little I understand on...

Well I'm talking about using BP and a non-fixed ammunition.

Well the non-fixed ammunition qualification is what had me thinking along the lines of paper cartridge inserted by hand into a primed brass case for use in break action rifles/shotguns.

Okay think of the cap and ball paper revolver cartridges that more people were made aware of and some have began making...Now think of the same (a Paper cartridge containing powder and topped off by a properly sized cast bullet) and instead of then dealing with cramming something down the muzzle...

I can see where a mix of old and new ideas could be applied. I've been thinking about experimenting with non-fixed ammunition and re-primed .357 magnum brass (should make for easier cleanup and still be able to use modern bullets, though I'm not against using cast lead projectiles) It should be...

That's what I figure.

Maybe try making a cylindrical paper envelope that could be rammed down like a typical paper cartridge just follow the same procedure that you would if loading a modern plastic hull shotgun shell (only in reverse) with a small crimp sealed with a glue stick followed by the shot pellets, then a...

I have a feeling we will see Black Powder firearm ownership and use skyrocket as time goes on. I know I've been thinking more and more about Black Powder firearms as a very good alternative to have over modern cartridge firearms for sporting use and if it gets as bad as people have talked about...

I highly doubt Gov. Andy in KY will stray from the party line if he does it'll surprise me.

The Wal-Mart I frequent has only had one Scoped Savage bolt action in the glass case and maybe 1 box of 300 Win mag in stock.

Yeah I'm highly doubtful that criminal case will be filed. I figure he'll be planning future " Federal Barbecue Parties" if you know what I'm saying.

Well I started out with an HRR in my youth. Shot the thing until it wouldn't work anymore...I sold it to a friend in 2004 for a parts/ project gun. I'm going to take more care of this one and not be nearly as rough to it.

Sweet! ....also I think you'll begin to enjoy single actions the more that hawgleg is fired.

Update: Last night before I went to bed I gave the new gal a quick bore snaking after a shot of CLP into the forcing cone. Today I went out and loaded up three of the remaining loose 40 Grain CCI standard velocity rounds and after pulling two shots off target (haven't really been shooting...

I have an old Mossberg 320K with a broken front sight. I bought a replacement front sight for it over the winter. I understand that older models with drift adjustable front sights were normally hammered out with a punch....but I also know that is how many a front sight ended up broken....Is...

This is how I know you're true blue frens. *tear in corner of left eye*

After owning the .357 Magnum single shot and witnessed the nicer trigger pull (after the safety recall fixes) I'm having a difficult time talking myself out of getting the .30-30 version. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about brass being thrown into the next zip code....and I could...

I figure a few people that have "hunting" calibers stocked up with a few extra boxes in case their rifles were needed for purposes other than harvesting backstraps.
