Looks like an excellent study! I think I am sold on One Shot for all non-BP uses.
I would caution people about Frog Lube: While it seems to have all of the properties one would want and it's even BP compatible, I found out the hard way that it will harden into a wax-like substance that ruined my day. I have been using Ballistol on flintlocks for at least 20 years and when I started shooting C&B a couple of years ago, I would snap caps before loading my gear for a match and never had a problem with ignition.
I tried Frog Lube on an evil black rifle and it seemed to work great. I figured I'd try it with my Navy's, so I cleaned up after a match, lubed them with Frog Lube, put them away in the safe and then the evening before the next match, I snapped caps like normal to be sure they were clear and packed up for the match. When my turn came at stage one, I had 3 misfires with one gun and four with the other. It was embarrassing as all get out and I learned a valuable lesson about physically clearing the vents and not simply trusting snapping caps to do the job. However, what's relevant here is that when I pushed the Frog Lube out of the vents, it had formed a hard wax that a Remington #10 couldn't push out.
I'm not saying that it shouldn't be used; simply be aware of what it can do if it collects and hardens.
This is pretty much why I tend to leave my chambers dry, though I used to swab them down with Eezox after the season ends, but now that Eezox has been knock off the pedestal, I might be switching to something else.

Looks like I will be checking out Hornady One Shot. I have never tried this one.
Same here, but more so because they refuse to do busy with NYS Government agencies due to Gov Cuomo's remarks about banks in NYS to stop working with the firearms industry, but that's a subject for another thread.

I'll be ordering one when they're ready.

So, Just wondering.
Why, with all of the costume categories (some that require a specific firearm), are there no Major / Minor caliber categories.
Surely I am not the only one who has ever broached this subject?
I mean the .45 Colt and 44/40 were the most popular / produced calibers.
Why??
cause .38spl trumps both of those in current popularity.

There was a biggun!
Not sure how since I look at them to see if there were defects like a large sprue ring when the mould is not closed right.
I took out the cylinder from the 1860 Army and pounded the ball in with a plastic punch so the cylinder would rotate. Took off the nipple and filled in the powder gap.
Went bang and really could not tell the difference.
Another day in capgun paradise!
Not a Ninja but a sooty cowboyI've had the opposite happen with undersized balls.......ended up recycling that batch of round balls.
-
I learned Saturday that oversize balls are worse.
First time in years of casting RB. My Uberti and Pietta prefer .454.
What happened?
-
Not sure what other people have experienced, but I found my Uberti 1860s to work real well with .457 round balls.
Plus it helps since I won't have to worry about different sizes with my Rugers, and Ubertis.....
Anyway,
+37 on Springfield Slim. One stop shop.

I was thinking about spritzing the bread with bacon fat instead of butter.
mmmmm..............

On a below zero day in the deer blind together, my daughter and I discovered our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were frozen! We grilled them on the buddy heater to thaw them out. Came off toasted and smelling great. Best sandwiches we ever ate.
Oh man, I haven't had toasted PB&J in decades.......always had that extra tasty zing!!

Is all this California secession talk about slavery?
That only counts when it's a Red state...........
-
One other thing to consider is how much trade goes through CA ports, both from other states for export and to other states as imports.
Isn't Long Beach in LA the biggest commerical port on the west coast? That port fuels the Southern Pacific don't it?

End of Times.

After stripping the wood, and cleaning it up, anybody ever do a slow cook/boil of the wood?
I heard this is the best way to clean out all the factory gunk, but I've never done it.
This a real procedure, or just voodoo?

I have the Tower of Power has well. It hangs up a bit when all the way down or all the way up. I too would pay to have it converted to a better working loader.
I got this hangup problem as well.

Use APP, or Triple 7.
You didn't say anything about BP subs........

Getting the conservatives or even anti anti-gun folks to vote is key.
Not to hijack this thread too bad, it's said that most voters in NY State stay home on election day, because NYC voters trump them at every turn. Not sure how true this is, but it is a similar factor in NJ.

I need one of these with a foot holder. Ask Cheyenne Culpepper.......he watched me struggle.Another mousetrap. Home made with better leverage.

Cemetery, I like that fix better than filling in the slot with JB Weld or some such thing.
You'd be surprised with the amount of blowback you get coming through the nipple....and those edges grab onto the caps pretty good.

A small but fairly aggressive grit carborundum stone would be my first choice - a sliver that can be hand-worked back and forth with careful strokes. Could even be roughed in with a small diamond coated bit in an angle-head die grinder, then finished to square corners with the stone.
Pulling the barrel would make it so much easier, however.
Good luck, GJ
Upon looking at the space to work with, it seems that pulling the barrel is the only real solution. Cause from what google results are showing me, I'd have to do a whole lot of modification to make it work.
But on the plus side, I can get the muzzle crown redone easier as well.
'sigh'
