Howdy From the Land of the Pilgrims

Howdy

I got invited here by CaptKirk (or however he spells it L@.) a few days ago.

Don't do much C&B these days, but I shoot lots of Black Powder in cartridges. I'll be posting some photos soon.

Hello from Colorado.  BP counts any way you use it around here.  I'm mostly a cap & ball guy but shoot some cartridges in my conversion cylinder.

Howdy-do from the Keystone State. You use the Holy Black, what more needs be said. Pull up a log, or grab a stump, and jin the fire and sit a spell. Chat a bit, but don't ferget the pitchurs. We like lots and lots of pitchurs. )k*
Black powder smoke is my Aromatherapy.

Welcome Driftwood Johnson! I shoot both traditional black powder firearms and lots of different black powder cartridge guns, rifles and handguns. Hope to see some photos of your guns!

Grab a chair and some coffee.  Get comfortable and chat when you feel like it.  I shoot C&B Colts, cartridge Colts, and some rifles.  About all I reload anymore is blackpowder.  It works in all but two of my firearms.
