Some BP questions

[RanchRoper]

My cap order showed up today....another 1000 CCI #11's in the cabinet

My 25lbs of Black Powder showed at at a friends house today. I can shoot for a while now.

[RanchRoper]

Think I'll make smoke tomorrow morning. I checked the barrel tonight after cleaning a week ago. Looks good. I re-lubed it with Ballistol, don't think that was the problem with any fouling or what I thought was rust.

good to hear .... good luck tomorrow, looking forward to your report

If no wind, I may try the 100 yd range with the Frontier .50.

I ordered a couple of lbs of Triple 7 powder from Cabelas Canada early this month. What a gong show. They shipped it from Cabelas Calgary on Jan 12th and sent me the tracking number. I checked a few days later and it shows delivered and signed for at Cabelas Calgary. Been on the phone with them several times while they keep saying it is delivered. Finally got them to understand what happened and they have re-shipped it. Hopefully see it next week. People!...they're the worst.

[BigAl52]

Sounds like the post office down here what a gong show they are.

[RanchRoper]

Might make some smoke tomorrow morning, looks like another real cold one but maybe give it a whirl.

[BigAl52]

Well the gong show has begun with percussion caps. Sold out everywhere. People on Gunbroker charging 200.00 for a 1000 caps. I wonder if we need to stock up with rocks now for the flintlocks. Better get a flinter RR either that or buy rocks there next.

[BigAl52]

Been watchin a diggin around and I think I found more caps and placed an order. Waiting to see if it ships for sure.

[RanchRoper]

Received my 3 nipple set for the rifle from VTI Gun parts. Only problem is, they just shipped 1 in the bag. Does anybody pay any attention anymore to their job???? Does anyone give a crap anymore??? Customer service is non-existent these days at most companies.

[BigAl52]

I will pay extra for a business with customer service. But its scarce these days

[RanchRoper]

May have hit the jackpot for more caps. Just waiting to hear back. Remington #11.

[RanchRoper]

Scored 1200 more caps.

[fortyshooter]

Scored 1200 more caps.

Will have to change your name to Capman soon!

[RanchRoper]

Well had to cancel my order for powder, Cabelas just could not seem to get it right to ship it. So I will likely drive to Calgary and get some, maybe on weekend.

[RanchRoper]

Cleaned my muzzleloader a week ago. Just checked the bore on it today. Clean as a whistle. No rust, no anything on the patches. So I take back all the bad press I gave Ballistol and will save the Hoppes for the cartridge guns.

Water/alcohol/dry it and lube with Ballistol.

not surprised at all .... it has and still is serving us well

[BigAl52]

Grandson just texted me and he scored 1000 caps for me. Should be good now for a while.

I never have a problem with caps. I shoot flintlocks all the time. I have a percussion rifle that I made over 20 years ago and haven't put 100 rounds through it.
