Took one of my CVA .45 HunterBolts out today and shot it 4 times. Standard load- 110 grains of TS3fff and the 209's of course. This time however, I was firing a lot heavier sabots than the 180's I normally use. I can't help it. Every time I even think about my CVA's I remember a man (or...

Been busy for the last few days. I made blackpowder using some willow, natural hardwoods lump, Mesquite chunks all natural, and 'store bought' airfloat..Made about 3 ounces of powder each time. Mesquite surprised me. As near as I can tell the Mesquite left my gun a little cleaner and shot just...

Anybody on here have any idea what 2 cans of Dupont Black Powder dated very early 1800's and never opened may be worth?. Must be worth something to somebody even though not me. I'm not a collector and I make good black powder when I take a notion to make a little here and there. I'm a Triple...

Has the THR server been down the last several hours?....

10 pounds of Potassium Nitrate, 10 pounds of Flour Sulfur, and 10 pounds of Charcoal Airfloat...How much black powder will this make? Have 4 Indian families here in Wyoming and they all lost their jobs. They'd rather die than beg for food or money from the government. They will be doing a lot of...

Anybody on here have any experience with this steel?..(in my case here the SK-5 steel used by Boker)..Thank ya'll....Never mind. I just looked it up on the internet. I keep forgetting about being able to do that....

I just remembered for some reason here. I own 2 or 3 good Buck knives but I seem to remember that I have another one Buck..Fixed blade blackened, (not my NightHawk), real light weight, broad skinning blade, came with black nylon sheath that can be worn on belt, clipped to a shirt pocket or just...

Not trying to start anything here. 4x50 Gary throw's all of my stuff off of here anyway!.. Computer crashed this morning and I'vd been busy all day recovering the system. Thankfully I remembered my password to Photobucket and another off site location so was able (Ithink..reason for the test) to...

Several weeks ago I posted on here about a knife I bought and that the only mark on it was the word 'MAGNUM'. That was it. I got an e-mail back today in response to the one I told HSO I was sending. It wasn't just an e-mail. This thing was as long as a chapter in the Holy Bible. They told me...

I made me about 5 ounces of powder several days ago while I was sitting around here bored out of my skull. I just checked it again a few minutes ago. I think it's ready; probably been ready for a couple of days. I used airfloat this time, and cut back just a teeny bit on the sulfur. I also used...

Just bought a new knife while I was in town at the trading post an old man run's there. Bought it about 2 hours ago. It's a large hunting knife, sort of Bowie but a little different. It's called a Magnum and is made by Boker out of Solingen Germany. It is sharp as a razor blade and has beautiful...

Have Walker and will travel is the card of a man, from down in Alabama up to Ol' Cheyenne.. That heavy .44 keep's the Gentleman in the wind, from the Grizzly to the Jacks and for all in between.. Lord it's a hard lonely way with a callous on his thumb, but he'll live his life and then go...

SORRY FOR THE MESS UP. Wasn't sure it belonged on the Black Powder Thread but hell, we shoot lead..October the 31st. (Halloween) That's when the EPA will accept or reject the petition....The EPA has the petition in front of them and will accept input from the public. (They say.) If the EPA...

Just saw Benchmade knives are on sale at Cabela's. Down from around 30 some odd dollars to 20 some odd dollars..If any of them are D2 Tool Steel (or the equivelent) and some of ya'll are looking for a knife with good steel it might be a good time to grab a couple....PS- I didn't pay much...

I'vd had this put away for sometime, just never bothered to post it. Came across it in my notebook accidentally a few moments ago. It works. I'vd tried it exactly like he said even though I have a ball mill and stuff and it 'POOFED" real damn good. I'd buy the boy a cold beer if I knew where he...

By the by, I was just sitting here thinking. A couple of years or so ago (maybe 3 or 4 years) there was a lot of talk on here about some company in the USA that was supposed to make a Remington '58. (all original specs)..Lot's of people on here was acting like it was really going to be the cat's...

Pietta. The one I carry all the time....Still messing around here....

Hrrumpp!! Well, the Bull Pup is gone from the site so I'll see if I can replace it with this. I wanted to put up one of my Traditions or CVA's but it is too awkward trying to take a picture of them.. This is the one (The only one I carry and shoot. The other 2 are cleaned and oiled and put away...

Gary I'll leave this up until I know you'vd seen it. I was disrespectful to you in public so I am appologizing in public. You were right. I had no business posting the picture of the bull pup there. When you told me I had it in the wrong place (which I already knew I did) together with the...
