It says at the bottom of the page they take Visa, Master and offer cod. No brick and mortar address though, that always makes me nervous.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Yep, don't load the pellets into a cartridge. Grind them up and load them as loose powder in the 50/70, or pass them on to someone with an in-line muzzle loader. Maybe they would make good...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Not only what Hodgdon says in print, but never, ever, EVER, allow a gap between black powder and the projectile when loading a muzzle loader or cartridges. Serious bad things will happen.

I have a S&W mod 915 police trade in that I'm real happy with. It shoots my cast loads just fine.

Just buy the Loctite 308 Black Max and get on with life. It's made for this type of use and gun smiths use it for a sight adhesive. Removable with heat if necessary.

A free hazmat deal just popped up at MidSouth Shooters for purchase of powder/primers over $99.00 bux.

Never bought the moulds, but I did look at the web site. What is the purpose of his 'X-flyer" .725" raised groove round ball?
It looks like the answer to a question no one ever asked.

My Dan Wesson .22 will lead the forcing cone. Once it gets bad, I pick it off with a dental type 90 deg. pick. It usually comes off in one big piece.

I did basically the same thing. I sold a mint 1958 Win. mod. 70, 30-06, and replaced it with a Weatherby Vanguard 30-06. Can't really say I'm glad I sold it, it was a fine rifle and a joy to look at....

Not needed imho. I've put hundreds of rounds through my Garand wearing a tee shirt. It's a heavy rifle and the action absorbs a lot of the recoil.

Sounds like you're on your way. You're a gun guy, and as such will figure out the rest as you go. A couple things do come to mind though.

I'm an oil changing fool right now. I have a pick up truck, 4 cars, a garden tractor and two motorcycles. All are getting fresh oil before the hunting season and the snow starts.
