I?ve been watching a lot of Mike Beliveau YouTube videos lately. He demonstrates a lot of ML tests and shooting. Includes some interesting history too.
Good distraction during this non shooting inclement weather.

Do any of you all watch and enjoy his stuff?

I've watched a bunch , he's the reason, a few years back, for my swollen cheek...
 I didn't know much about smoothbore shooting and he was recommending 100-120 gr  of powder for accuracy.
 Sooooo I loaded up my .62 Virginia Fowler with ball and 100 gr of 2f and headed off to the fort shoot at a local rendezvous.
 After a few dozen shots my right cheek was so puffed up I looked like a chipmunk 🐿️.
 Lesson learned , it left like I was touching off a howitzer by my head.
 I still like him though. No harm no Fowler, ha ha

I do enjoy most of Mike's vids.

I haven't followed him like I should have. But I was aware of the fact that he was having some legal issues with some property he owned and that he was shooting on it. Does anybody know how he made out with that issue?

[KDubs]

He posted a new video s few weeks ago where explains his progress on that.

Thanks Kevin. Just listened to that info. Sounds like there is some room for improvement on some of the issues, but the property and shooting dilemma may be looking a little better.
