BP---Insanity??

Been shooting a Ruger Old Army..7.5ss...since...1976. TC Renengade..54..since 1978. TC Cherokee..(anyone remember these?).in 32....since the late eighties. Added a second ROA....blue...5.5.....couple of years now. Cast my own slugs for all of the above......some hollow points for the ROAs.....pure lead. Insane? with the prices of ammo lately? If I see the need.....can order..and afford a lifetimes worth of powder and caps..and still have the means to move it all on a moments notice. I can make slugs with a campfire...ladle..and mold. Recycle slugs if I need to.

I have half interest in a replica Gatling Gun 50 cal
I have half interest in an original 1832 six pounder field piece. Ft. Pitt Foundry

Two original powder horns. Scrimshaw and other carving dates these to 1840s.
Original bayonets w/frogs and scabbards for the above military rifles.

As like others above I run my own ball and reload my own brass.

Looking for original Spencer rifle/carbine at reasonable price.

I forgot...I also have an original 1858 Remington that my Great Grandfather carried during the 'Troubles'. Don't shoot it since I keep it in a box at the bank.

Loved shooting these things ever since I was old enough to take the recoil. Gosh! I never listed them all before and these are just the black powder firearms...must be some sort of 'gun nut' I guess...

7 rifles, 6 handguns so far, with more on the way. It's an addiction! :)
I own way more centerfires than I own BP guns, but I have far more passion for the BP guns and I can see them outgrowing my centerfire collection some day.

2 remington new model 36 and 44 cal
1860 colt army
50 cal colonial pistol
50 cal lyman plains pistol
tc new englander rifle
investarms hawken(cabelas) great rifle by the way

Currently, one 1860 Army rep and a Lyman Great Plains Rifle in .54p.

Got plans to get a rocklock Pennsy and an 1851 rep, and maybe a Brown Bess or Charleville rep.

Maybe a matchlock, too. And a wheellock pistol....

Here's my inventory:

2 brass framed .44 Navies (Pietta)
1 steel framed '60 Army (Pietta)

1 Walker Colt
1 3rd Model Dragoon
1 '6o Army
(The above all Colt Blackpowder Signature Series)

1 '51 Navy (Colt Blackpowder 2nd gen "F" series)

1 1873 Model P "7th Cavalry" SAA (blackpowder frame - Navy Arms)

1 "Cattleman's Carbine"
1 "Winchester '73"
1 1866 "Yellow Boy"
(all Uberti)

1 .50 cal "Great Plains " rifle (Lyman)

I used to have a Remmie '58 New Army from Pietta which wasn't a bad gun, but I just could never get into it, had more fun with the open-framed Colts and hardly ever used it, so eventually I gave it away to a friend who still shoots it occasionally.

As to who gets the guns after I've gone, I've willed the 2nd and 3rd gen Colts to a local history museum in Ft Lupton, Colo (originally an old trading fort along the South Platte River in the 1830s); the rest to be divvied up between my nephews.

:D
