Well LAGS it probably won't be the last time i ask you for advise. I'm always eager to listen to and learn from those who have been there done that and figured it out.

LAGS has to get credit for a lot of this he gave me advise and i went from there.

I make the caps out of beer and pop cans. Cut the top and bottom off and fold half way on each side then cut in half. You can see them in the picture. Then punch out caps. I get around 26 caps out of...

This plate holds all most 150 caps. keeps them in place when you are packing them. Works good. Also the components from skyligthter if any one is interested. You also need good sulfur. The recipe is...

I use 45 acp cases filled with lead and put a real good crimp on the mouth of the case. They seem to work really good. I was using lead balls and noticed they started to get smaller over time so i...

That was a good read. I'm probably doing it rong using polishing compound. Hope I didn't mess up my new 58 cal barrel Hoyte just did for me. I get back to town Friday and hope to shoot it some more....

I'm out of town right now but when I get back I can up load some pics of my set up if any one wants to see it. I'm sure there is a better faster way to do it. It is time consuming.

Another member here turned me on to the blow dryer trick. It works really slick. The blow dryer pretty much makes the MEK evaporate fast and while the compound is still a little soft you can push the...

The plywood is a backer for the aluminum plate. Once the caps are filled and packed I take a little Red Dot powder and MEK stir till dissolved. Take an eye dropper and put a drop in each one. Hit it...

T-Bird. Not at all, I hope you didn't take it that way. Every one has there way of doing business. I was surprised he didn't want some kind of deposit when I sent my barrels. What are we all going to...

I make my own. I do it in stages. Make a bunch of cups on a rainy day. I have a aluminum plate with about 150 holes drilled in it that the cups fit in. I have a piece of Plywood that is cut to the...

I offered to give him money up front too but he didn't want it.

I sent him the barrel he did the work and mailed it back to me with out being paid any thing. That's a very trusting person.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
The Man trusts you will pay for his work. Every barrel I have sent him he has done what I asked and it just reappears in the mail with an invoice. I make a copy of the invoice with the shipping...

Velocity is good and so far im at best 1604 with a .562 round ball in my 58 renegade barrel. Im going to test my 54 and see what it does. My understanding is a round ball looses its speed and energy...

I have a couple Delron rods I think thats what they are for range rods, they work really good. The only time i use the factory rods is when im in the field. All i have to do is change the jag pending...

I see allot of shot gun barrels and alot of them say SXS. What does that mean?
Forum: Muzzleloading.
When i got my barrel back and shot it, it was tearing patches a bit. The patches i found looked good but had a tare in them and they were all the same so i figure there is some sharp rifling from...

I weight it. Its a approximately 120 gr by volume. Im going to change my screening to what what you told me and see how it goes. If it goes threw a 20 and stays on a 30 its 2f and ges through a 30...

I noticed my Crockett with a 1/48 shoots better with 25 to 30 gr 3f than it does with 15 to 20 gr. With that 1/30 you must be able to down load and have real good accuracy. The 1/48 you must have to...

I would love one of those. TC made some nice guns. I tried to get one once on gun broker but once the bid went past $600.00 i was out. They fetch a pretty good price unless you get lucky.
