It also depends on the caliber size. The larger the caliber, the less twist is needed to stabilize conicals so 60 is not that slow. One might call it a compromise twist for a 54.

Mattress ticking is thicker. Perhaps it is that.

Need to twist the brush clock wise before attempting to pull out so the bristles change direction and you aren't pulling again

I have 3 32's. 2 of them take a 310 RB with a .015 patch and an old original that takes a .319 RB with a .015 patch. they all shoot well with 15-20gr of powder.

I believe that is the Kentucky pistol model.

A felt wad sometimes improves accuracy. Yes, RB is for roundball.

My dad use to make pens with exotic woods. He would get scraps from custom cabinet shops and also buy from a local wood shop. He also did allot of deer antler. He also did the acrylic ones. I started...

I saw one at a thrift store for a couple bucks. Almost got it but it wasn't fire able. I though about getting it and shooting it anyway with a super light load. Of coarse I would be no where near it...

They won't ban you right off. They'll give a warning first and then put you in time out for awhile if happens again. I don't know why they get their nickers in a bind over it. It's not like it is...

It's more like you have a bigger bore than anyone or you are not getting good fill out on the mould. The top band should be .017 larger (.517) than a .500 bore. You are the only one I have heard of...

North of Ogden is Smith and Edwards. They care both real BP and caps. No idea if they have any in stock at this time though. Also do a search for the Free Mountain Trappers. They meet once a month in...

200y is a fair shot for a ML. I'm not saying it isn't doable, but you will need the right setup. You might do a search of Idahoron and see what he has. Sounds like what you are wanting in the long...

Thanks, that is what I suspected. What about Musket caps? Many people like those just for the same reason.

I always have popped a few before loading. I even switched to real BP instead of Pyro. I used to oil lightly out west and even could get by with a coat of WD40. I think it has more to do with my...

I been thinking of getting one for hunting. Out west where it was dry, I always got good ignition right of but since moving here where it is more humid, I seem to have trouble getting the first load...

I haven't seen where 40s and 45s are selling more. They are less common, especially 40s and usually need to be custom ordered. The only advantage I see to them are less lead and powder. Not knocking...

I had a problem with a new scope. No amount of adjustment would move the point of impact. I removed the scope in case it was binding. Put it back on and impact changed so I thought it was fixed....

I tried them in my CVA inline years back. Basically same sizing as yours. I didn't have a sizer so I loaded them as is. I had to pound them in just like the maxies. Accuracy wasn't bad but not great...

Snake shot is very fine, usually like #11. You have to be very close to kill anything.

Nipple is loose fit? I would not fire it like that. Nipples have blown out and this is dangerous. Get the correct nipple replacement. If still loose, they make oversized nipples.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
Food for thought. Cap to nipple fit is a common problem. Nipples and caps are off by a few thousandths and the taper is different also. that's why it takes two strikes to fire. First strike pushes...
