What muzzleloader stuff did you do today?

Nice hawk, never fiddled with pewter but might some day.

No problem, Kevin, pouring pewter is as easy as falling off a log.
Wait!!!  Falling off a log is easier, you don't have to heat anything up.   
But don't expect a factual answer from me, I've never done that either.
Closest I have ever come to that was casting round ball.

Pure pewter is tin, but not all pewter is all tin.  Some pewter is an alloy of perhaps 80% tin mixed with copper and/or antimony and/or other metals.

Tin is added to lead mostly to encourage forming better cast projectiles and to add some degree of hardness, and tin will reduce projectile weight.  None of this is needed for patched balls or paper cartridge balls, but can be a good thing for long range muzzleloaders and other such firearms.

Cast a few round balls using the Rapine .490 bag mold. Have to cut the sprue off and then fine tune them. Weather here is like what dmarsh is having in NY. Snowing like crazy as I type this and we're to get -temps this weekend. So who knows when a fellow will be able to shoot. Not soon enough, that's for sure.

I know what you mean, Tom.
It looks like our 80* days are a thing of the past, at least for a while.
They're saying it might even rain tomorrow and probably will get down into the 60's. 
Hope not on the rain, Farmers Market is tomorrow and I would hate to miss that.

About the only thing I did as far as muzzleloading goes is ship a horn to its new owner.
