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.

Re: Broke my black powder cherry
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...

How is everybody?
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...

Re: Big ole' mashup of reloading info - Reloading-101
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...

Re: lee classic loader help
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.

Re: Hunting Log
We have bobcats out here too, wish I saw them more often though. Turns out Hermine is about to hit right over my place, fortunately its lost a lot of strength so I'm sure my house will still be there when I get home today, maybe in the morning the deer will be active.
