Talk about coming out smelling like a rose. :cowboypistol: If any of those weights are stick on weights they're almost pure lead. Plenty soft enough to use for bp.  All I did was load up a few 50-70 rounds. Loading 70 grains of powder was not an issue under 500 grain bullets. I didn't weight them tho. I just used my volumetric measure so it could be off. They're a smootch longer than COAL but they chamber nice. They're long because I wanted to crimp them in the top groove.

I know. I was going to shoot a few of those today and see how the old girl shoots but it was a little too chilly for my thin blood. Supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow so maybe I'll feel more like it.

They're better but still give me fits sometimes. I don't know how they'll handle it but I'm getting impatient. :cowboypistol:

My ribs took it just fine. Not much recoil at all. Maybe about like a 30-30. If there is a Santa Clause he's making me work for it. (7+"

I cleaned the rolling block today. Only been five days so no record or anything. I think I've left the flintlock longer. No rust, just fouling.
