I was concerving powder too so 10 to 15 gr fffg was enough. I would walk along the streets and pick up wheel weights for lead. Normally wheel weights are to hard but with the bluejean patch it didn't matter cause it wasn't real tight any way.fiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02100848342394447126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631921498001602594.post-67097778029735977312010-02-20T04:16:43.171-08:002010-02-20T04:16:43.171-08:00It is useful to try everything in practise anyway ...It is useful to try everything in practise anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631921498001602594.post-12241872357714997532009-01-11T07:54:00.000-08:002009-01-11T07:54:00.000-08:00Mr. Renner Your thoughts fly in the face of so man...Mr. Renner<BR/> Your thoughts fly in the face of so many things I've read, Thank you!

Many years ago I made an under hammer BB gun pistol with a brass barrel. Had to use the high price polished BBs at the time because Daisy's would not shoot strait. With 4 grains of 4F it would put a BB through a 1" board at 25 yards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631921498001602594.post-67812057054776209212007-04-10T07:26:00.000-07:002007-04-10T07:26:00.000-07:00Thanks for the bit of history.

One person selling an H&A even claimed that they could be traced back to Ethan Allen.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to more on your blog. It would be interesting to know who a typical underhammer owner may have been in the 1800's. I understand that there were some areas of New England where the underhammer was fairly common. How about out west?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
