    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    Here in Pa we have CWD in some areas. One of my old hunting partners lived in such an area, and ate LOTS of deer he shot there He passed this year, but the cause was a tractor that overturned on him......not an infected deer on his dinner plate. IMO this is just another attempt to put a stop...

    50 or 45 caliber inline?

    Agreed! My flinter is a 54, and my inline is a 50. And I live in Pa.

    Deer Carcass - Call it in? What have you seen and what would you do?

    We have a young fellow around here who skins, quarters, debones, then packs out the meat in a backpack. He does leave the hide and bones, but the deer IS tagged before he touches it. Pretty sure he meets the letter of the law like that, and he makes it much easier to carry out than dragging...

    Cleaning media

    I bought a rotary tumbler from Harbor freight, a bottle of Lemishine, and gave it a shot. Not getting the super shine like overnight with walnut media, but I plan on resizing and trimming now, then into the walnut media!!! The “jerky drier” did a great job getting rid of the water. A bit of...

    Sitting here reflecting on your comments, and wondering if the sites I visited awhile back were in err on the drying of the cleaned cases. I decided that maybe giving it a go could be worthwhile. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the pins….it wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong.

    Not disputing the way you fellas do it. All I can relate is the way I read it’s done. Research using the pins and soapy water and you could understand my reluctance to it. Or not. Bottom line for me is water and powder don’t go bang. I am open to the results of others, but it could take a bit...

    Awhile back I purchased some once fired brass that had been cleaned up with stainless pins. Wow! They looked like new brass! I even bought some stainless pins to try, but didn't like the concept of having to dry the hot soapy water from the inside of the cases.....The pins definately clean...

    Tried the corn, and found the flash holes had a tendency to get clogged. went over to walnut and that solved that problem....tumble before bed with the walnut, and stop before breakfast gets the brass looking great!

    Cleaning at the end of the season

    I clean my rifle after each time I shoot. I rarely need a second shot (must be the flintlock guy in me making sure the shot will be good), so cleaning to bare metal is the usual way. Maybe it's just luck, but I work my loads up so the rifles, either my 54 flinter, 30-06, or .243, put the...

    Tape at the end of barrel?

    Now that is an option worthy of consideration! Faster, easier, definately providing a good seal. I may have to head over to the drug store and check if they have a size to fit a flinter with one inch across the flats. Thank you

    Tape at the end of barrel?

    If you remember the recent rainy day during the Pa flintlock season, I hunted in that rain all afternoon. Admittedly, I not only had a cows knee protecting the lock, but the lock has been tuned/mated between pan and frizzen, as well as plastic wrap sealing the bore. Admittedly, I may go a...
