Great video man 👍

The human eye can only focus on one object at a time, that's what I was taught in the USMC 60 years ago at the rifle range it's still true today.

I hate snow. Somewhat fun for a few days if it's new to you, but living in it can really suck. I had moved from sunny California to Tennessee when I was 10 and quickly learned how hard it was to stay warm and all the extra work required. Fortunately after 1 year, my family realized we preferred the warmth of CA. Kim is a good sport to join you in clearing it up.

Always good to see you Mike. At our age, if you don't hear things popping at your joints for no good reason, you're doing really good.

When I shoot, I don't use lollipop method for aiming. I set my sights for point of impact. So where I aiming is where my shots go. The lollipop method has to much variance in aiming. My eyes are getting bad like yours. I am going to invest in new glasses with bi-focals. It sucks getting older.

Deer all day with what you have now. Great video.

Stay warm. We didn't get much here in clovis

Wowza 😅

Nice adjusting.

Fair enough 😂 we'll see what it looks like Saturday

Holy Moly Michael! Here in Pa. we just had 3 days of 70 some degrees, which is unusual. It’s very dry here and we really need some rain. Meanwhile, back on the Lame Beaver Ranch, you’re having a mess of snow! Sure looks pretty and I can taste that snowy day coffee too! Thanks for sharing all that beauty! And May I suggest some more dog people and a sled so you don’t miss any events, eh? But snowed in with a fresh pot of JO sounds pretty good! Many Blessings! DaveyJO ☕️in Pennsylvania

Man, you guys can have that cold weather; i live in a semi tropical state of Australia called Queensland, that weather would kill me. By the way, GO TRUMP, boy have some people here got their panties in a knot because he won. Suck it up i say, interesting times ahead. My family have been poisoned by JW cult so i watch you guys with interest. Say good day to Kimmy & stay warm.

Need frozen foot there.

Apt name.

I'll trade ya bud, I'm here in central PA trying to bow hunt the rut in a 85 degree heat wave.

I figured out staying put is where its at. Not crazy about vehicles in the ditch or in the ravine. Most folks think they have to go somewhere when it snows here in western NC.

Wow ouch. Yes Sir I'd say so.

Ya can't wait for the crap 6 months of winter good video 👍

I love the snow,we haven’t been getting the snow these last few years. I live up near Lake Erie and we get the lake affect snow. Right now you have more snow than I had all last year. I love the first snow fall where everything is white. We usually have snow by now,but these last few days we were in the 70’s. I just hope we have some snow for the first day of deer season,which comes in the Saturday after Thanksgiving

Corn meal is non combustible and is pushed up into the grooves under the patch reducing gas blowby.....all kinds of interesting things to try......I had a cap and ball revolver loaded 5 months ..no problem with right technique...but that another story

Have you used an over powder patch or card.....have you tried corn meal over the powder...I have seen articles over the years claiming benefits over both .... and also saw saw one person using a wafer of lube under the bullet

Are you going to still make a video from the bench where you shoot with and without your loading rod in the gun? I suggested this a bit ago. Shoot like 3 shots of each please?

Hello would you like to sell one of your cap making setups. I'd like to have something of my hero in my collection. Ur the best. Thanks

Nice

Thank you very much for keeping things simple. Too many people over complicate things. That tends to take the pleasure away of getting into certain hobbies.

So, I saw a video the other day, where a gentleman from the U.K. mixed together the 3 ingredients to make B.P.. Amongst other things. That was all he did, was mix it completely. He then loaded it into a flint lock pistol, and it went "bang" just like the real commercial B.P. he shot. Obviously, not with as much force. But it did work. So my question is, how much difference does it really make. If you actually weigh out each charge, and shoot it. Now I don't own a cap n ball revolver yet. So my little world is a rifle. How much velocity difference is there doing all that extra work and expense of tools?

Nice work! That 's very interesting. I'm going to try that.

Any plans to sell conical on the etsy shop?

Aim small miss small!

I have deer walk by my windows occasionally Mike but the Elk are up in northern Pa. My sister and brother in law lived in Jackson Hole for 12-15 years and what Beautiful animals they are! Bet you thought the Elk Fairy visited, eh? And good shootin I’d say! Kind Thanks, give you elk, deer, dogs and chickens hugs for me and keep your powder loaded! Many Blessings!

Ok, dummy here, why does a coned barrel throw a greased patch off? Not trolling, I really don’t understand

Man your lucky to have elk wish we had them in upper Michigan very educational Mike like your videos learned lots thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

It's my comment you're referring to, "For me, unacceptable". I need a rifle to shoot where I'm aiming. Almost all my shots at game with a muzzleloader are off hand. I can miss on my own, I don't want extra help. If my rifle is sighted in dead nuts on the bench obviously I can't hold the same groups off hand. If I'm three inches off from the off hand position from my lack of steadiness, plus even more do to drying out of a patch , I could miss or even worse wound the animal. I can't remember what distance you shot the paper plate at but as we all know the divergence from center is only going to get worse the farther away the target is shot at. There wasn't any malice or ego in my comment, it wouldn't work for me in the hunting field.

Not that you need my analysis.

Good, you are correct.

Hi Mike, Great Video really cool tent set up !! I almost smelled that coffee through the video !!! Sorry about the rain and have a great hunting season !!

Another good video Mike. Hope you and Kim are doing good.

Any news if Frozen Foot is going to be at your place?

Nice Camp Michael

Ahh propane. Buck skinners dirty little secret. Send some of that rain our way. Its been a month without since Helene put 20" on us. I think folks must have cursed the rain. A little venison would be a tasty treat right now. Thanks for sharing your camp. be well

Sound's like it was pouring and that fog can work to your advantage great video 👍

Absolutely Beautiful Michael! Your home sweet home looks cozy with fresh roasted JO, a nice bed to crawl into and I never minded rain on a tent. Although after a time and when you want to get out and hunt? Well it could get make one a bit antsy. But I’m sure you experienced far worse and longer spells of rain, cold and snow. Looks like your rifle did just fine after a week. I have a Colt pocket gun a Wells Fargo they call it and it was loaded months. That’s because I’d loaded it up at the range and forgot my caps! So I’d say it was 3-4 months later I finally remembered everything I needed and wondered if it would preform okay and it did just fine. My Mentor always warned me that if I ever worked on old muskets to never stand in front of the muzzle because often people would have a load in them ready at the door, just in case. Good advice I’d say. Thanks So Much Michael! I always enjoy your adventures. Many Blessings and Good Hunting! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

For me, unacceptable. It would have to impact at least around the outer edge of the red bull.

Good

Everything black powder channel has made this video obsolete

I use my warn out sawzall blades. I double them as a shim spring under the factory springs. The thickness of the blades varies, so it’s easier to find one that will provide the tension I want to start with. After I copy the shape of the main spring I thin them down on my belt sander until they give me the flex and tension that I’m looking for. Most of the time I make them about three quarters the length of the original spring, pretty much never make them the full length. It seems to work pretty well and the added tension along with nipple reworking and polishing the hammer face, I’ve pretty much eliminated cap ignition, cap pull and jamming issues. I don’t buy replacement nipples either. By working the nipple faces I’ve learned ways to enhance the performance of the originals pretty good. After I work them down to the length i want them, I make sure they are screwed in tight enough and then cut a very light little notch where the hammer face safety slot meets the cone… this creates a consistent weak spot much like the hole drilled in the Slixshot nipples. I have also chucked them up in my drill press and drill holes in them on occasion to copycat slix, but it really doesn’t seem to work any better and it’s a lot more work… just remember to number them so they always go back in the same hole and keep correct alignment. I’ve learned many little tricks here and there that work pretty well and doesn’t cost a fortune. - another trick is to take a good size safety pin and trim it down and copy the trigger/bolt spring geometry as a replacement. I’ve had many broken bolt springs over the years and I’ve NEVER had a safety pin replacement break! You can get a lot of safety pins for the $14 they want for one trigger/bolt spring! “Just some thoughts.” Thanks for sharing yours! 🤠👍

Is your video reversed? Or is that a left handed flintlock?

Thanks for the video. Yesterday UPS just dropped off my new Pietta 1858 Remington New Model Army .44 caliber Black Powder Revolver. Your video will help me adjust the sights, after I put 50 shoots through the gun.

Hi Mr. Lame Beaver - regarding the RED coloration on your pistol grips/stocks .. I read that those made by the original Colts factory were actually dyed red using ALKANET ROOT stain that ages to the darker black walnut colour of the antique originals with time and the oils and grease of the years.

What screen sizes do you use for 2 and 3F??
