Whoa thats alot for hazmat shipping. Mine were 5.99 USD at sporting goods store. Had a grandson go get them for me while Im down here. But if I was to buy them online they would be 56.00 a 1000 plus shipping and hazmat. About 74.00 a 1000 online. Local purchase much cheaper.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Making an antler handle ball starter as a little project this evening. It's in the clamp drying as we speak. One thing I really like about this muzzle loading stuff is that everything about it is real old time style gear. Very cool. This old cowboy is going back in time not forward...
