I still own two at least. Don't intend to let them go. I may just offer him a bit over what I sold em for. He wouldn't care.

Just happened to come back to the BP threads today and it brings back memories. I love the flintlocks. Probably because of the Davy Crockett days that many of us old farts grew up with. I've never shot anything larger than .45 in the flinters but did think that using FFFG powder in your rifle was p...

Logged in for the first time in too many years and the first thing I see is Chuck passed. Sorry to hear that news. I had the privilege of meeting him once about a decade ago. I've never met anyone from Ohio I didn't like. How's everybody else doing around here? I ended up selling off most of my C&am...

RIP Chuck. It was nice to meet you that one time.

If it's to have another learned skill in your pocket it's always worth it, never mind if it's cost effective or not; but it doesn't take much to get started. Don't get started though without understanding what you're doing. You need to get a book. I recommend the Lee Reloading Handbook which is more...

You need to get up earlier.
Buy the boy some long pants.

Ha, he was making excuses, he's got pants. My finance's 5yr old girl is eager to start hunting though. Gotta get em started early. I just got in the stand and will post an update, whether I see anything or not.

I learned on a lee classic. Best $30 I ever spent. I never tried using it on steel cases though. I later upgraded to a single stage press. I don't think I'll ever need a fancier rig than that.
