What muzzleloader stuff did you do today?

[No Powder]

If you makes you feel any better Salty, all of us in the Golden Years mode are experiencing the same issues.

Went into the shop.  Freezing cold so I looked at a couple of muzzleloading projects really quick and then back into the heat.

I could sleep in that bed with no problems. And that shirt could be considered camo under certain conditions. Always wondered what type of print was period correct during that time period.

[Salty]

Wow KDubs that a really nice setup. I could be comfortable with that. Didn?t realize that was period correct

[Bigsmoke]

Salty,  Yes, that could be considered period correct.
BUT
Then the question would arise of correct for where and when.
If you are trying to emulate a Rocky Mountain fur trapper, the answer would be not no, but hell no.
If you are trying to emulate a Lewis and Clark exploration team member or maybe a Canadian voyageur, the answer would be no.
If your persona is an east coast farmer, the answer could be well, yes, maybe.  Your story could be temporary lodging, just waiting to get your cabin built.
In short, if your person is involved in exploration or someone who was constantly on the move, it would be no.  How the heck are you supposed to carry all that stuff.
If you are a military officer or the factor of a trading company, probably so.  After all, you are a gentleman and who would expect a gentleman to sleep on the ground.
Or you could just be a modern enthusiast who is just plain getting too darn old to be sleeping on the ground.
The possibilities are endless.  Pick one and don't apologize for it.

Haha I can?t claim to be a gentleman so I guess that leaves me on the ground.

Used to go to a 2 day shoot every June. If anybody wanted to stay over night they could. I would sleep in the back of my truck. My truck had an aluminum top on it. Usually we had some cold nights in June, so I remember how I felt when waking up Sat. morning. Makes me hurt to even think of sleeping on the ground. I need that bed. PC or not. That's a cool tent Kevin. And I especially like the casting setup.

[Winter Hawk]

What I did today that was ML related?  I dry fired the Hodgepodge rifle, then ran a dry patch down the bore.  It came out with some reddish stripes, the same color as the Ed's Red I use to clean it so I cleaned it again with Ed's Red and put it away in its corner.

I also spent several hours with a shovel and the snow blower cleaning the sidewalk, my driveway, and clearing the berm left by the snow plow so I can get the car and truck out.  Then I napped.  (that's part of muzzleloading, isn't it?)  Made soup for dinner.

[No Powder]

Absolutely. Especially the part about taking a nap.

[Nessmuk]

I've been weighing the roundballs I cast last month. I must really suck at casting. up to 1.5 grain variance, half my stock is going in the recast bucket.

Just out of curiosity, try separating a few of them and compare the groups you get with your good ones.

[KDubs]

 Sure did like that Pennsylvania rifle, looked like a shooter.
 I price was as much as a new kit .
 Be nice to have an original piece.
Who'd a thunk you'd find this stuff in southern Florida.
