Purifying your KNo3- Part 1- The simplest way of doing it.
There is far more gas and fouling escaping the vent hole than gas and fouling generated by the charge in the pan. You prick the vent hole because of the powder charge in the barrel, not from the pan charge. I believe the erroneous commenter either doesn’t shoot, own or understand a flint lock and how they work.
Elephant powder is terrible energy wise, I'm surprised that you had some...
I got you, you're a smart man,... Don't let the green horns get to you, plenty of amateurs out there...
Thanks Michael! I can all but smell that powder and with the rain on the tin roof made everything very pleasant! Many Blessings and Good Shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Great video i like it 👍
Naaa? "know it all?" or? "STILL LOOKING!" is how "I see it" Keep your Smoke Poles, SMOKING!
I believe I'd be using the home grown stuff in my flashpan less fouling under the flint and into the frizzen. Less fouling = cleaner flame = better ignition.
I never thought black powder was clean. Don't know what you hope to see. But thanks for the video.
interesting that the remilled was better... wonder what the glazing even does
Hey Robert. Traditionally graphite is and is still used as a lubricant . Black powder shooters say it's used as a water moisture inhibitor to help the KNo3 from gaining moisture. As We speak I am doing a experiment to test this. Stay tuned.
I would be interested to see a comparison to a paper cartridge where only the round endcap is nitrated .
I use juniper root for my blackpowder , I am in central eastern az .
I have some 1.5 swiss left I'm using in cartridges since G O cartridge grade is long gone. I have a several pounds of Old Eynesford left in different grades which I quite like and then I have a few pounds of the original Goex left. When I burn through all this I'll make my own from now on, but of all the powders that have come and gone in the last 50 years Elephant from Brazil was the absolute worst factory black powder ever packaged, shipped and sold to the shooting public.
what do you clean your muzzleloader with . Thank you
My guess is that glazing refers to polishing the grains so they have a shinny surface, unlike gazing a donut. It would make it less likely that there would be powder in the form of dust at the bottom of the container after shipping. I have heard it slows the open burn rate and wonder if that makes it “safer”. One old reference described adding graphite but it was in a very small amount. Why? Maybe it slows absorption of water? Maybe it makes the surface of the grains conductive so static electricity would be less of a problem, so “safer”. Swiss is in business, some one ought to be able to find out what they actually do and why they do it.
So, I don’t own and have never shot a flintlock but I’d think at least some of the residue in and around the pan would be a reflection on the priming powder(schutzen) but I don’t know. You remilled factory Swiss, did you then puck, granulate and sort it? And did you reapply “heavy graphite glazing”?
No I did not re-apply the graphite, that would have defeated my purpose. Yes it was pucked and granulated, mostly 3f, like any other of my DIY Black powder.
@@lamebeavertradingco.1642 so, maybe the graphite slows it down/makes it “weaker”? There is at least one u toob vid where the guys trys graphite for a carbon source, instead of charcoal, and it performed really badly.
@@jertres2887 I saw that Video. Performed very badly. That's why I do not subscribe to using graphite even if I helps with the KN03 not gaining any moisture. Wait for a video I am putting together on this topic. My results so far are very interesting.
I meant to say "white Flakes"
The only man in the world that finds swiss inferior
There are a lot of white in this world, . . . we just have to live with them. " What happen to "Well, Hello friends, my coffee is still warm," etc.
Yeah, you're right. I just watched it.....
Your powder is better. I noticed your ram rod hangs way out from the muzzle. My understanding is this can effect accuracy. *Will you make a video using your powder with and without the ram rod in the gun?* I am curious to see the difference. Please?
DO you want that benched. I have over the years shot with out the ram rod with not accuracy diff. I do plan on doing a video comparing the Eastern Red Cedar Heat wood. Perhaps I will do it then. Nice challenge
Any veteran black powder shooter picks the touch hole before each priming charge.
No not everyone.
Not true
I love the clips where everyone is left handed and every gun is made for left handers.
I am left handed.
70grs of what 2f ... 3f?
@@barneytooman3708 , he is not a know it all, he is probably sick of the videos of people saying Swiss is the best, when his own powder is better.
@@barneytooman3708 , he used Swiss in both the pan and main charge. Go rewatch the video.
@@barneytooman3708 , I did. You are correct. I thought he was using both for pan and bore. I was wrong. I think he should shoot with pan and bore being the same powder.
@@barneytooman3708 You clearly have not seen the burn I did in my block of wood. Go troll some one else
@@GunDrone It would make no Difference if I shot Swiss in the pan. I have used Scheutzen 4f and Goex 4f and even my own 3f Juniper. None have ever left that amount of smoke fouling. This smoky residueis what escapes out of the touch hole not the Scheutzen. Think back on the burn test I did with the block of wood, look how much smokey residue was left behind. What you have are people who have been thoroughly convinced nothing is better than Swiss and their feelings are hurt. Look at how he tries to degrade me, questioning" my abilities to do anything right with well thought out planning" His feelings got hurt, Like Jake's a while back accusing me of changing his formula from 77/13/10 to 77/13/11 when His formula did not perform as great as mine did. Accused me of having a bias.
It seems to me that the Lame Beaver Magic Dust is the superior blend! Thanks So Much for the comparison Michael! I guess it’s like is said, if you want it done right, do it yourself! I believe you just prove that! Many Blessings and Good Shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thank you. At this point trading for the Swiss Black Powder was not a total waste, now I know those who say Swiss is the Best, shoot cleaner, more powerful, are full of it. Re-milling that 100 grams did a little better than the Heavily Graphite Glazed Swiss. The weight of the re-milled powder change also, thus showing the Graphite does add weight to the powder. Those who try and compare volume of Swiss, say to Scheutzen with a equal volume have no idea of the weight diff. That's why I weighed the re-milled to get a equal weight. Like I have stated , I think in different terms. I just wish some would just start thinking and asking why.
My spoonmill isn't that dirty out of my Hawken. Wow... that's even a flintlock! My Hawken is a percussion... that's just.... Wow.
I use Swiss for main load and Swiss null b for priming and it does soot up the pan, frizzen and flint. Not saying it’s bad powder, just saying I’ve had the same results
My cotten wood powder isn't even that dirty.
Neither was mine and it was screened Cottonwood.
When did Swiss start graphite coating their powder? It never was coated before.
Never! He is only obsessed about what he read on fake swiss website.
That I do not know
Pretty sure graphite is not burning, it contributes to easy pour from the container but it contributes to the fouling, i wonder what grade of graphite they use
I challenged this while back after shooting one of my revolvers.. I don't think the graphite burns a great as most think.
@@lamebeavertradingco.1642 Graphite ignites at around 750° Fahrenheit, in the short amount of time it's in the barrel it's not going to completely combust.
I wonder who you arguing with? I have enjoyed most of your videos. Sometimes It is hard to follow your train of thought. What about the smoke residue,aren't you using Shutzen in your pan? How does that equate to Swiss causing soot on the lock?
If you have seen earlier videos, I have used Schuetzen in the pan with little to no fouling. Look back and see the test burn with Swiss vs Aspen and you will see a very clear difference. I have done several test burns on a grooved black of wood and Swiss is very much the dirtiest in relation to smokey residue.
TC is returning....it would be great if they would pick out a few bp guns to reproduce in usa.....i would hope they could be affordable not having to pay imports. Im also hoping to add a few new/ old stock barrels for contender. I'll have to check my Italian bps for this thanks
One of the most dangerous combinations is a doofus and a file.
I have a question. A couple of years ago I lost the wedge for my Pietta 1860 and had trouble finding a replacement. I'm wondering if a Uberti wedge wold have fit ? I know many of the parts don't interchange and I thought you might know the answer.
you would think that the manufacturers could do a better job of sight installation so that there is less windage error. Elevation errors are easier for the shooter to correct without modifying the gun
Why are you "pucking" black powder/what are you pucking it for? Simplicity in loading a BP pistol, rifle, or shotgun?
My Pietta 1861 Navy had the bolt stop coming up too quick as well - I just extended the ramps ahead of the notches a bit... Mine shot right to point of aim with 25 Gr of Pyrodex and a Hornady round ball (forget the actual diameter but standard). Oh and I use the lubed felt wads. This is just for load and shoot, I wouldn't use lubed wads if I intended to leave it loaded for any length of time - dry wads though, I would - I'd just lube over the balls. The 1861 is really a great shooter. And I don't mind the barrel being a bit too long for historical perfection... Thanks for the vid! Enjoyed it and congrats on your new Pietta.
Should have bought a model 19 Smith. Those BP guns are caveman.
We have two eatin' size white tails grazing and bedding down in our "back forty" thanks to flooding in the lowlands resulting from a recent tropical storm. If it was not for us living just down slope from a near neighbor, I'd break out my trusty old Pietta New Army clone in .44cal and give 'em a go. If they hang around much longer, I'm buyin' me a cross bow! As for the lock up problem, I can't recall a Colt's clone I've ever owned that did not have, out of the box, that problem or did not develop it at some point due to, I'm sure, wear and tear. But never on a Remington clone. Another great video! Keep 'em comin'!!!
Wow, I guess common sense ain't so common after all! Kinda like filing open a sight dovetail instead of filing the sight to fit. Good info for the folks just getting started though. Possibly keeps them in the game without some frustration. Keep up the good work!
I’ve kept an old pocket replica with a worn off pin with the hammer between caps at the range. As long as the gun stays in the holster or in the hand, the cylinder won’t rotate. In fact the hammer fits down between the caps. I don’t recommend carrying that way, but it was probably common before the notches were developed.
Yes Sir. Great video great information as always. Thanks for making and thanks again for sharing. And yes I did enjoy that first shot. Beautiful creatures pops feeds um out back here at his house next door. Always nice seeing such beauty like that and that early in the morning makes my day usually better. Just if it's telling my best buds what I got to see this morning . stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy.
they have to make them for idiots theses days
Explain
Paper is convenient but there is no speed loading a cap and ball revolver. Loose powder and ball for me. Tip of flask measure.
I have two of those ya thay did it. I found that thay need heave gear oil in those parts that well stop that form happening
Good things to know thank you 👍
I do realize that cowboy shooters do the 5 shot load and that’s fine of course. But I like the pins for safety. I have a CVA 1849 pocket so call Wells Fargo, no loading lever, it’s 5 shot but someone filed the pins off, which I want to replace. But on my 51 & 60 I do like those pins. So Thank You Michael for the good tips. Having these great repro black powder guns are so very enjoyable and I want them as safe as possible. Many Blessings, Good Shootin and what great footage of that Lovely Buck! Thanks for that! I could just see you sneaking back in your house with an arm load of revolvers! That in itself was fun!

The cylinder will also lock up on a Howell conversion cylinder. You’ve got to carry it with a empty chamber or rest on pins.
Great video, always safety first!!!
It seems that the 1858 Remington models don't have this problem with the locking issue. What you think?
I have never had this issue with any of the Remington's I have owned over the years. Go figure.
@@lamebeavertradingco.1642 It's not like I've owned a metric ton of BP revolvers in my life but if I had a locking problem, it was with a Colt's clone but never on a Reminton including my current Pietta "1858".
The shellac is bad idea. Gummy clog the nipple. The prime all is fine as it is use the acetone. It will gum up the coating on the aluminum can and adhere the priming compound.
