Long Range Muzzleloading / Re: I'm in ....
« Last post by The Miner '49er on Today at 02:08:49 PM »
HOLY BEEJEEBERS, KEVIN DID IT IN SPADES!!!!!  Kevin, how do I turn off the lead repellent force field? Geez, Louise, THAT is quite a shot and Captains Morgan and Cresap have put you in for a field promotion to Lieutanant! Seriously, that is spectacular. If I ever shoot one like that I will rent a highway signboard so everyone sees it. One more thing, pm me your mailing address so your "certificate" redeemable for some Sam Adams celebratory libation can be mailed. WOW.   :hairy  :bow  :toast  :applaud

It's all good no powder.
 This is my last kibler WR.
 Calls for a 7/8 x 1 and I had been shooting 3/4 x 3/4 ish french flint and kept breaking rocks so I ordered the correct size from TOTW , they came yesterday.
 The one that caused this came from a bag of loose English flints I had
 Pays to pay attention huh. 
 Going shooting today with the correct size flint.

Welcome aboard.   :toast
Can you tell us a bit about yourself?  How long you been shooting black powder, what do you shoot, etc.
Oh, yeah, pictures.  We like pictures.

Nothing severe buddy. Are you sure you wouldn't be better off with a 3/4x7/8? I know a guy that makes a mental error once in a while and forgets to put powder in. I should have inquired about the type of rifle before making a comment about flint size. My apologies.

 Remember, it's important to use the correct size rock in your lock.

 Thought I had a 7/8 x 1 in there but turns out if it was a little bigger than that.
 Didn't ding it up too bad but still.
  Whoops!

unless it's kept in the dark and out of ALL light sources.

 Ha ain't no way that's happening.
 I'm thinking about heading out again today.

I agree with Rob. If that were mine, I'd want it to stop right there. Beautiful.

From what I've read about cherry wood, there's no stopping its propensity to continually deepen in color ....  :scared: .... unless it's kept in the dark and out of ALL light sources.
