Some of the crud left in my black-powder pistol looks and smells kind of like marmite

Well, I reckon I've consumed a lot of that indirectly, with all the beer I've drunk over the years: but yes, I'd like to "give it a go".Originally Posted by Smokeless Coal
Marmite is a sort of yeast extract.
It was a by product of the brewing industry. Sort of the scum you get on top as beer brews.
You're over here soon so perhaps you should put it on your things to do list.

My wife said that she was ambivalent about it before, but that comment REALLY made the decision for her, whether to try it or not!

Before the ban I used to shoot both and ended up with a 6 inch 686 S&W revolver and a single shot flintlock and percussion BP pistols. I found the single shot a bit easier t get on with. I used to have a Rogers & Spencer revoler but I had trouble with the caps coming off because of recoil and then it chain fired despite caking it in grease. I used to end up covered in muck as well compared to the cleaner single shot machines.
Just my observations.

I love my Teddy bear Mr Snuggles!
I had the same problem with no.11 caps coming off so I switched to 10s and cured the problem.

Has anyone here heard of the Patriot muzzle loader?
This is a true target pistol in 32 (I believe a 38 version is due out) it looks a bit like the FAS or B&G UIT target pistol. Fantastic grips, a low bore line and really good target sights.
They use 5 or 6 shot blocks like the harmonica pistol of old. Muzzle loading into the block with 1 grain of Bullseye and a 32 WC bullet they use a small pistol primer to set it off.
If you can, try one, they are almost as good as the real thing. Groups are as good as I can get with a cartridge pistol.
I believe they are made in CZ or Poland.
Also Alan Westlake will make a nitro conversion of some black powder pistols for PPC etc.
No connection to Patriot or AW.
