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.......

Re: Some BP questions
Little place in eastern Canada. Thought I cleaned out all the ones up here. Maybe now. Puts me at about 6000 caps. Hopefully see me through the ammo apocalypse.

Re: Some BP questions
Glad you found some let me know how those work as I have been tempted to buy some in the past. As it is right now I have about 5000K and about 40 plus lbs of BP

Re: Some BP questions
I am up to about 20 lbs or so. I wish I could get caps across the border but nope. Some shops here are trying to source from Europe to get some stock on the shelf.

Re: Some BP questions
Started on the horn powder measures yesterday. Got a 30gr done for the pistols and a 70gr almost done for the rifles. May make it 75gr. Then one left at 60gr. Drilling those is harder that one thinks. Those horns are tough. Ill post a pic when I get all three done

Re: Some BP questions
Smell of burning antler is not so nice either. Yes they are very tough stuff to drill.
