I’m getting closer.

Thanks, we'll see next weekend how it works .

Today I tried the 000 buckshot. It worked just as well as pure lead in the smoothbore pistol. Since the buck shot is harder, the balls deformed less when seated on the powder but I wouldn't say it was beneficial. The 5# box of Hornady buck was considerably cheaper than an equivalent amount of their lead, however. Don't know how well the harder material would do in a rifled bore.

I think I've seen that NWTG before,.... it looks like the one Ohio Joe bought from me some years ago at rendezvous.      

I believe it is that one. And you had another that was shorter and only 54or 58 percussion as well at the time.. Marty snagged this one and I sat the fence on the other..
Ive got to source a new sear spring for this Lott lock yet, but I'll find it eventually!

I like to boil a pudding on the day before a trek. Keep it in the cloth. Sliced and fried for breakfast and just warmed for dinner. Light and lots of calories

Two cups flour, half a pound of butter, raisins, jigger or so of rum or brandy, salt, nutmeg, wrapped in a cloth and boiled about three hours.
Anyone else use a pudding on the trail?
And if you want a quickie, hardtack break to crumbs, butter rum raisins, boiled for an hour or so
Good eats on the trail.
