... Black powder readily soaks up water and then does not go "bang" or even "fffft." So rainy days can be a challenge. However, there are various ways to get...
I have heard of people using a triangular shaped piece of buckskin over the frizzen and primer pan as a safe guard against wetting the powder. In a steady down...
Thanks, Tony and Kees. I've sent an email to a NCIS source I know asking if he's ever heard of a patch being matched to a muzzleloading rifle. Not that NCIS...
