I would wonder about a 60# Bow that only put's a Zwicky 6 1/2 inches in probably a 130 gr razor head. But I saw all 3 arrows hit solid and even vibrate,.... so perhaps this was a good test.

I guess I'm unsure if bone can be used for hunting but I would like to see you shoot a road killed deer as a test. Bone is way easy to work,.... way easier than flint too. The weight of the shaft is the key to penitration depth/ Kinetic energy. Your arrows do look the part though.

You did not mention resizing the base part of the hull. Since you picked these empty shells up that are of different manufacturers and fired from various shotgun chambers , this resizing operation should not be overlooked. It’s not a problem if the shells were fired in your gun and will be fired in the same shotgun again.

Question, what kind of oil did you use on the metal parts?

Circle Fly makes 11 gauge wads for exactly this. Example I do this with 10 gsuge brass hulls. My wads are 9 gauge for a tight fit. Source, Dixie GunWorks. Gorilla Glue in that container is $23. Gorilla Glue also has a relatively short shelf life and next year it will be as solid as a rock. A tube of curing silicone say for bathroom tiles is like $8 and it will last you forever. You can reuse the same partisl tube about 3 years into the future.

Could you have use the gelatin to glue down the rawhide instead of wood glue?

If you have a drill press you use that to press in the primer. I don’t like the idea of using a hammer. Just put a wood dowel in the hull to back it up, put something flat in the chuck, set the primer on the pocket and press it in.

Very cool thanks for the video!

My understanding is it’s called swan shot bc it’s “shot” with a spread as useful for fowling but with enough kick to take a swan. Lol I could be wrong though

Please link trigger plan pdf

Excellent. Thank you for taking the time to share these ideas.

Well done! Thank you!

I have a box of feathers I found a gift of my anscters, I keep them as they are

Old video I dont expect a response. How does one create a hammer and nipple/primer ?

Love the idea of the nut driver as the repriming tool!

Thank you for the video! Do the shells need re-sizing after shooting?

nice

My Tulle has to be drilled thru the breech plug as well. I've broken three bits so far. How difficult, torque wise, was it to get the witness marks to realign? Do you just force it into alignment?

Try shooting it with a paper or wasp nest wad for under and o er wad. The cork wad can be causing dounuts in your pattern

You can also use watered down Elmer's glue. It's basically the same as water glass made for reloading. Also, you can simplify things and use the same volume powder and shot. So if you you use 1 1/8 shot dipper, you can use that for the powder too-to make a square load..

I cant get over how amazing it looks after. Can you tell me the names of of the color you used, brand of linseed finish and waxyou used?

Looks amazing! Thank you for taking the time to post this video

I've read elsewhere that a "swan" shot was just the name of the shot size... Shot Name---Pellets/Oz.

I have an interesting rifle. Its pretty nice but the breach plug stops a 1/4" From the where the barrel starts. I noticed thst it had a bad habit of grabbing patches. So i removed the drum and nipple and i looked in there and i saw that big gap in there. Its a mystery to me how someone could such a nice job on the rest of the rifle and not get that most important thing right? Anyway, all i can think of to do is put a new patent breach in it and install a drum with a longer threaded part. Or take out this breech-plug and drill it out like a patent breach and put a new drum in it. The fun never ends. Thanks for the video.

What a huge waste of time. Winchester does such nice job for me.

How much of the handle did you cut off

I want this brass cartridge 16 bore, how can i get it sir??

Nice work. I enjoyed watching your videos on the brown bess.

Nice Job

Nice to see you are using a tillering gizmo on your bow, I wish more people knew about this tool, I have given away over 300 of them so far.

Can i use wax to seal the top or should i use something stronger?

Gorgeous, make mine look like that!

Not many people talk about or even know about swan shot. I reload 12 gauge close quarters (less than 30 ft) home defense rounds with it. It's not really good for much else. You could hint with it if you had to but it's too unpredictable out past 15 or 20 yards. Edit: I forgot to mention that I only use it in brass cases and intended for use in a double barrel

Ah OK ah ah yea OK ah ah ah ah I'm out ah ah ah by

thank you sir..

I can close a shell like the factory with my hands and a dowel

Whynis it that this man takes his time to show a different way of loading a shotshell in the field or for emergency situations so that the common man is armed and we get even one complaint?? ** If you don't like it don't do it but rest assured it works and there is many cost saving ways of doing things.. Thank you Sir for sharing your time and teaching an old Marine a few new tricks. God bless and keep doing what you are doing..

I've used this technique to quickly load a small batch of 12 gauge, and with a roll crimping tool from Victorian England and it does the job.

I don't know where you've got your education but that's not a bolt. It's a piston. It slides inside a cylinder. The other part you've got in your hand. If you learn the proper terms you can actually communicate this without pictures

Usually why your sticks not working is that your overpacking it. Fire has to have oxygen as well as fuel and Heat. This tool works the same way your diesel engine works

I'm really surprised how many people show these firesticks. And they're always talking about how to push it down real hard. How about you slide it down about halfway turn it upside down and strike it against the ground. Surprise surprise it's called critical thinking.

Que mala filmación

Any chance of doing a video on inletting a butplate on a fresh fusil stock?

Did you just wipe down the hardware(screws, pipes, etc)?

Know what works better than char cloth? I one dollar Bic lighter. ...it also easier to get, easier to store, and more reliable. People that do this, do it because they want to. Not because they need to. It's just ridiculously silly.

Awesome👍

Next time, try stuffing with pop corn kernels packed really well. It will come out very smooth.

You need to fit the brass nozzel pice first, because you have to shorten the upper stock to make it fit. You are fitting the barrel first, and the brass isn't going to fit on the end.

They make a jig for that.
