Range Time, again...(finally)

[Adam Helmer]

kt,

We got 7 inches of snow last night here in Mansfield, but it is 40 degrees and the stuff is melting. Next month I will set up my Coleman Stove and cast up needed balls and conicles. On Monday, when it was 55 degrees, I shot off all the odd items left in the old musket shooting bag from last Fall.

Do you have problems finding Black Powder down your way? I have only one source in this entire county nowdays. The Mansfield gun shop carries Pyrodex, but the town regulations, insurance regs and fire code prohibit the sale of BP. At the next re-enactment "battle" I will restock on 2F and 3F Goex from a suttler.

Yep, it is time to assess inventory of powder and projectiles for the range sessions in Spring and Summer.
