    A Gentle Reminder

    I have been reading with interest the "black powder for defense" entries here in both the Black Powder and the Cowboy Action forums and would like to add to the discussion. As someone said (paraphrasing) "You defend yourself with what you HAVE, not with what you WISH you had!" If, for whatever...

    Mood To Gamble

    I just had one of those early-morning Wild-Idea attacks. Does somebody know somebody who might know somebody who knows where (and if) the True Black is available for sale in the state of South Carolina? Oh STOP! It may BE a silly question, but it wasn't THAT funny! TomK

    Wild and Weird

    I've looked HIGH, and I've looked low, and no-where have I found the ballistics for Hogdon 777 fffg powder in "my" pistols. I have a "Colt 1860 3" snubbie," and a "Regulation '58 Remington"." As close as I've been able to calculate (I failed arithmetic in college) a 25.5g load of triple 7...

    Another Wild Question

    I've read that petroleum products and black powder are NOT friends. I've read that so much I've begun to believe it. Having been raised at Parris Island by Marine Drill Instructors I have fear and loathing for rust or crud on a firearm. My question is; for prevention of rust and lubrication of...
