Theres someone on amazon that sells diy percussion caps that work really well. They come with a scoop, tamp and the caps. They also fit perfect and wont cause jams.

If you do not seat the bullet against the powder you will indeed get a higher pressure spike. But nothing a reproduction made from modern steel cant handle. 200 years ago it may have been an issue

I purchased one of these 10 years ago. A year or two after purchasing the sword, the hand guard and pommel became discolored. I’m not sure if it is just my sword or all of them.

Figer nail polish will work for waterproofing and harder name

You should put them in an old 209 primer tray before adding chemicals. Keeps them from moving around and when you have them all filled you can easily move the entire tray somewhere to dry. A regular large primer tray works too, but I like the extra space I got with the shotgun primer tray.

You have reasoned this out along the same lines that I have. I shoot both modern and historical reproductions. I would not hesitate to use a BP reproduction revolver in a self- defense situation.

In 27 years of shooting BP revolvers I've only seen one chain fire and that was when someone inexperienced had loaded the pistol. As far as effectiveness, consider how many men were killed by BP revolvers in the 1800's.

Why not carry for self defense it sounds like a good idea

Better this gun than no gun. Thank you for the test, Sir. It gives a great idea of the gun’s potential.

Fudd....Fudd.....Fudd.....Fudd.......quit giving P.O.S. criminals ideas.

Много ,очень много ,ляля,ляля больше практики !

My capt Schaefer has replaced my cartridge weapon…..it’s just better for gunfighting I can’t explain it would take days. I had to edit this halfway . In Massachusetts for one if you shoot someone with a black powder gun there is a whole different standard of procedure when being prosecuted, it’s usually lies in the policy that DAs make between counties but many counties in Massachusetts (such as Bristol) have a policy that if you are not a police officer no matter the circumstances if you shoot an assailant with “cartridge” weapon you are automatically charged as a crime, a great example of this is the state vs jojo noe (the outlaw biker club leader ) and the state vs Anthony Bonaparte both Bristol county cases involving obvious self defense both men charged horrifically by Sam Sutters because of his POLICY he was allowed to enact as DA in Massachusetts. Just some food for thought

Boom stick....

Bottom line this sword of a grand Master of the Templar order will kill

Keep going. Thank you. Cheers.

An actual boomstick

A 20 gauge trade rifle,.62 pathed round ball.

I'm going to a lawyer first of the year to try for a expungement of my record from 13 years ago. Until then I'll continue to carry my heavy ass. 44 cap and ball

A damned fine video! I hope you keep making more videos! Very interesting and informative......

Melon didn’t know it got cut

Either a 12 gauge shotgun if not shotgun then i want a lee Enfield 303 brittish rifle or 22lr

I own a couple of German drillings which are three barrel guns (Sauer, Merkel and older makers). With a barrel insert you can have three in one gun (I got a 7x57R under double 16 gauge shotgun with a 22 Winchester magnum barrel insert in one of the shotgun barrels). So a shotgun, rifle and rimfire in one gun. Also a scoped gun (claw mounts so can be easily removed and reinstalled. Price is very cheap for what they are when you import from Germany where people have to get tried of guns within so many months of death.

Jesus rake the wheel,this clown is bla bla bla blah,making me tired,and this video s uc ks,audio i mean

It would be my Mossberg 500

Older .22 pump that will handle S/L/LR. You can do a lot with shorts. 🙂

I like to use both.

No, man, you're 100% right on the, "If you can't perform a simple internet search to find basic chemicals, you're probably not ready (read: smart enough) to make this sort of stuff." As an amateur pyrotechnic hobbyist, we *hate* the "boom kiddies" who pop onto the forums without performing even a cursory Google search and start asking really basic questions about how to make Flash and other sensitive compounds. No. Just...no. Idiots like that result in new regulations and bad reputations. This stuff is inherently unsafe, and ignorance/complacency will get you hurt or killed. The most experienced people are also the most meticulous about safety.

I notice you have a huge amount of willow behind you. Willow makes excellent coal for fast bp. i'm typing in anticipation of you mentioning this.

so what about carrying in Illinois

Hey terry i found yr channel last summer cause i was scrolling for different methods of making black powder you had a way of making te subject interesjting.then went on to homemade caps and since then its just one of the channels i watch. Now me and alot of other folks have a wide variety of interests like i cant afford to go and buy a cap an ball revalver but i have a 1917 revalver i can reload with homemade bp and cast bullets and do tests on that allso whatever interests you have you might find a following of kinderd spirits.anyway happy trails my friend and dont let anyone spit in yr messkit😅

I am one of those that set up an account, and wanted to build a channel. Did not work as I got maybe two video’s uploaded. I just do not know what I want to do with KZbin, as well as that I cannot stay motivated. So that is something I think you show in your video’s is motivation to do KZbin video’s.

say "ammo" not bullets it makes you sound like you are incompetent

Отличная работа! Лайк+подписка!

Hey, you have an amazing holiday brother! Yeah, I started a black powder channel. Also, it’s called pew pew pew pew. lol my other love besides training lizards.

so are you going to sell some caps

I really like your channel! If you're looking for a direction for you channel,I'd suggest you do the muzzleloader stuff. Also I'm pretty biased and I love muzzleloader content hehe. I did really like the chemistry things you've done tho

I think you have a great channel my friend, keep up the good work. Take care

Ithaca model 37 for shotgun or a 22 lr for long gun but only if I can have high caliber side arm; 357 mag etc.

I loved your content from day one. Your advancement with your KZbin channel sounds pretty much on par with a lot of other super successful KZbinrs. The critical drinker I believe it was two or three years before his channel really kicked off. In other words I wouldn’t call your progression as a Content creator at KZbin as mistakes some of these channels, just take a while to kick off. In fact, I would be very surprised if in the next two years, your channel does not make a lot of momentum . Lots of positive energy your way. Thank you for the content🎉

Take care Terry! Please make more muzzleloading vids after your well deserved R&R!

See ya when you get back, thanks for the good videos. Have a nice vacation!

A Browning auto five for me . The gun is built like a tank ! I've even experimented with bp in it, and it works great even at the lower pressure.

I'm not sure if an opinion can be wrong. I think the follow-up questions aren't for you to ask. I think that because everyone is different, your follow-up questions should be the factors that you yourself consider when answering that question. I would definitely pick my glock 19. EDC is important to me, and the MCK brace I put it in offers the versatility to shoulder it when I need to. I am still out and about too much for much else. If I was retired and didn't leave the house very often, I think I would pick a riffle. Preferably an AR-15 because of the versatility to chamber it in a 5.56 & 450 Bushmaster. (I am aware there're other calibers, but I specifically use 5.56 & 450)

Thanks for your content. I'm a day late and a dollar short here so take this for what it's worth. You're not wrong. I didn't see any one reply that I'd reject. What I reject is the premise. I have no intention of making do with just one gun. I suspect at my age (just a little older than the OP) I'll either never see or never survive such a scenario. It was fun thinking and reading all your thoughts about it though.

That reminds me the cowboy eras very nice n powerful gun enjoy it

Interesting take.

Only One Gun... Ruger 10-22 Carbine, several 25rd. Mags, a threaded barrel & a Can. Good Luck with Your Flint-Lock 😂

No ... Just No

That can kill a deer any time

Very nice Shot sir
