    Along with the federal fire sticks sucking up all the bh209.

    Well, so much for the excitement!

    Whitehots are barely cleaner than triple 7

    Finally got some!

    First shots with the NEW Goex! I have a lot of problems I need to sort out! I have very little experience with this rifle. #1 mistake. Not sure what nipple I have in this, I'm thinking it's a Spitfire, but will double check while cleaning. Once the barrel warms, she's hitting low left, then...

    Finally got some!

    As I thought! The new Goex is lighter than the Hodgdon Powder Goex. The can from 1996 Goex 2fg weighed in at 59.2 grains. Measure set at 60 grains and my best accuracy measure. NEW Goex maker, 51gr. I have another can that's brand new from,I believe 2002 if I remember the stamp correctly...

    Cleaning Issues... HELP!

    If it's rust, it literally can form in minutes.

    Cleaning Issues... HELP!

    Warm soapy water works great for powder fouling with the Whitehots. Eventually, you'll have to follow up with a solvent to clean the lead, copper or plastic out of the bore.

    Cleaning Issues... HELP!

    soap and water isnt going to remove the copper, nor is the the greatest for blackhorn209 fouling.

    Birchwood Casey 2 in 1 bore scrubber. Let it soak, scrub with a nylon brush. Perhaps these brown spots you are seeing, is actually copper fouling that hasn't been removed.

    Finally got some!

    Had to go to colorado springs today for a doc appointment so I decided since the store needed restocking of patch lube, I'd deliver it personally. Came out a happy camper! I'll chronograph it and see how the new makers are doing.

    Personally, I shoot real black powder with cci #11 caps and a hang fire or no fire is a very rare thing. The 209 set up is strictly for range use as it's a slow process to recap after a shot. The more you remove the cap, especially in the field, the more likely you'll end up dropping it and...

    After installing the adapter and inserting a 209 primer, I found that the hammer hit the edge. While this would work fine, I didn't want to possibly damage my hammer. 6 years ago I removed the drum and put anti seize on it for easy removal/adjustment down the road. It was no trouble, slightly...

    The animals will smell your stink long before they smell the bore butter.

    CVA Accura Northwest accuracy

    if you're shooting bh209, dont bother cleaning between shots, just shoot. I'd pay more attention for cleaning your breech plug with a drill bit over 10 shots or so to keep ignition consistent. If you're not shooting bh209 and using t7 or pyrodex, clean every shot.

    Kit carson rendezvous 24

    Back in early may we had the kit carson (CO) Rendezvous and had a fantastic time! Very family friendly, held on the big sand creek. Last year we had so much rain, that the creek was a river. This year, we had to get some machinery in and move the bridge back into position. Went around the...
