I've found myself reverting back to using black powder firearms on most range trips.
I never thought this would become an issue...but with my current budget I just don't have the money to practice with smokeless powder weapons.
$35 that would be for a 50 round box of 45 auto can get me a can of powder and a tin of caps. The lead I can find on nearby scrap, the fire from the local woods to mold bullets.
Olive Oil and Crisco provide lubrication for the gun and bullets. A bucket, soapy water and paper towel provide effective cleaning.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
I'm re-falling in love with black powder firearms.
